3 Ways a Covered Walkway Will Make Life Easier for Your Aging Loved Ones
Dealing with weather extremes can be a serious hardship, especially for our older loved ones who might not be able to suffer the intense summer heat or shovel the winter snow to get to the car. Consider adding a covered walkway to your home or your parents’ home to rest assured that they’ll be protected from the elements and have improved mobility and lifestyle as a result. Here are 3 ways a covered walkway will bring you peace of mind and make your loved ones’ lives that much easier:
Weather Protection
No matter what climate you live in, biting cold, scorching heat, rainy and wet, or breezy and temperate, navigating the outdoors gets more hazardous as we age. Provide a covered walkway to extend the shelter of your home so your loved ones can get safely to and from the car in any season. You can get the perfect size and fit for your home and climate. Whether you need a simple roof only structure, a 2-sided port, or a 3-sided passage, VersaTube Building Systems has you covered.
Extra Space
You’ll be amazed at how adding a covered walkway to the entrance of your home not only adds visual appeal to your home, potentially raising its value, but it also gives you a ton of extra space. No need to break ground with an expensive remodel. All you need to decide is what you’re going to do with all that room! Your loved ones will be so grateful for the extra space to store belongings, to chase the grandkids, or just to make getting around a lot easier.
Privacy and Security
A covered walkway adds an additional layer of security to your home. It is a deterrent to burglars who would much prefer to target houses with fewer barriers to entry. It also provides a place to lock up belongings like bicycles which may not otherwise fit inside your home. Your folks will love the privacy and security a covered walkway affords.
