subject: Instant Garage Benefits [print this page] Instant garages are quickly becoming a popular method of outdoor storage across the United States for cars, trucks, boats, RV's, and garden equipment. Often referred to as portable shelters,cover garages,and temporary buildings, these polyethylene fabric covered buildings can provide long lasting protection from the elements. The benefits to purchasing one of these garage structures is very clear: 1.) Affordability, 2.) Portability, and 3.) Ease of construction
Affordability - Instant garages are a value based alternative to the cost of a conventional brick, metal, wood, or vinyl sided construction. With the ever increasing cost of building materials, consumers need to store their investments at a more competitive price. A conventional wood storage shed or garage can typically cost 5 10 times that of a comparable instant garage while providing equivalent weather protection. Some consumers often translate the low price of these garages into inferior quality and lack of sufficient protection from the elements. Yet some manufacturers have fabric cover warranties of 10-15 years. Replacement covers are available.
Portability A portable garage is given its name for a reason: they can be easily moved. Consumers enjoy the future option to move their structure due to potential unforeseen reasons. These structures can be relocated by simply disassembling and then reassembling in a new location. Conventional wood storage sheds are considered temporary, however, still may require a forklift or crane for relocation which can damage the building or the surrounding landscaping or yard. Most cities, towns, townships, etc classify these garages as temporary, typically resulting in no increase in property tax. However, consultation with local authorities is recommended prior to purchase. Due to the size and weight of these buildings, a freight truck can deliver to the consumer's residence (depending on size on accessibility).
Ease of construction Another of the tremendous benefits of purchasing a garage structure is the ease of construction. Conventional wood and metal sided buildings may require weeks or months to build and typically require building experts. Most instant garages (depending on the size) can be assembled within hours for smaller structures or several days for larger constructions. There is no need for heavy equipment or specialty tools. Common household tools such as wrenches, ladders, mallets, etc are needed. Most physically capable homeowners can erect these garages. Following of written directions is necessary. No construction experience is needed.
An instant garage can provide for long lasting garage storage protection and we have listed some of the reasons to purchase.
