Defined Tag: Canvas Carport.

If you need to find something to cover your car, recreational vehicle, truck or boat or motorcycle you may find a canvas carport an option worth considering. Often people find that their one garage, usually attached to the side of their home, is not enough space to take care of all their needs.

Although referred to as a canvas carport they are usually made out of other heavy-duty materials like polyester or polyethylene. This material is a type of plastic that has been chemically treated, is waterproof and has a natural protection factor against the suns rays. The canvas carport cover is usually waterproofed. These are very durable and offered to the buyer in a large variety of colors and sizes. These are usually available in kits and can easily be put together by the buyer. They are far lighter to assemble then the steel ones and can frequently be installed in a single day. The frame is constructed of coated steel piping consisting of six legs. Sometimes for the bigger ones there are eight legs.

Price wise these are an incredible saving over most of the other carports coasting just a fraction of the price. A metal carport can cost anywhere from two thousands dollars plus while the canvas carport is usually under fiver hundred dollars. This in itself can be a deciding factor on which type of carport to purchase.

Another advantage of the canvas carport is they are easy to locate anywhere on your property because of the fact that they are fairly lightweight. Most companies that sell these will even custom size them for you so if you want to put two cars side by side or your pickup attached to the boat trailer you won’t have a problem. The length and width of your canvas carport is completely up to you and based only on what will fit your needs.
