Metal Buildings

Boating season is upon us! If you haven’t already, it’s time to get the boat out of the yard or driveway and into open water. Don’t let the hassle of cleaning out your boat, checking for needed repairs, and assessing the damage done by improper storage prevent you from enjoying your investment this spring. A VersaTube Grand Carport is just what you need to get your boat ready when you need it and to protect it from the following hazards:

Sun Damage

Proper boat storage is a necessity all year round, not just during winter. UV rays are harmful to your boat over time. If you want to prevent that beautiful paint job from cracking and fading and you want to protect the exterior shell of your boat, you’ll need a place to store it during the spring and summer months. A slipcover over the top simply isn’t enough to prevent damage from sunlight and potentially costly repairs or a whole new paint job.

Mold and Mildew

Mold isn’t just harmful to your boat’s deck and interior, it’s a serious health hazard and often starts in places you can’t see. Then by the time you notice, the damage is done. You, of course, know about the risks mold presents, but did you know how easy it takes hold in your boat? Even a small amount of moisture from dew in the air is enough for mold spores to make their home. You’ll want to store your boat in a dry, enclosed environment to protect it from these devastating pathogens.

Dust and Debris

This one is fairly obvious, right? Who wants to spend all day cleaning out the boat every time they want to take it out? A shelter with sides, like the Grand Carport, is ideal for storing your boat, saving you time and energy.

Bugs and Critters

One thing we all know about critters: provide a home and they’ll find their way in. Termites, rats, squirrels, they would all love to live in your warm, cozy boat. Just one more reason it makes no sense to store your boat uncovered.
