Tired of scraping ice off your windows in the winter or watching the blistering sun slowly damage your vehicle’s paint in the summer? Halt mother nature’s attacks on your vehicle by parking in a budget-friendly VersaTube garage or carport! Not sure which style is for you? We can help! In this article we’ll go over the differences between garages and carports, as well as the benefits of both.

Garages

As a fully enclosed structure, a garage is the most secure option for parking your car. Our standard garage models have 3 fully closed sides with the 4th designed with a standard garage door opening. If you want, you can choose a model (or modify one) to include a walk-through door on a side wall for ease of access without having to raise the garage door. With a VersaTube garage, you can even choose to forgo the traditional garage door and install a walk-through door if your garage is going to function as a workshop or storage facility. Like any VersaTube structure, it can be placed in any location you choose. Since it’s fully-enclosed, a garage is the safest option when it comes to parking or storing your items.

Carports

Instead of a garage door, the front of a carport is completely open, allowing you to pull right in. Our VersaTube carport models come in a variety of options so you can choose if you want a 3-sided carport, 2-sided, or roof only. Any option will provide a lot more shelter for your vehicles compared to parking them in the open. A roof-only carport is the most cost-effective, while a 3-sided carport is great for anyone who also wants a little storage space or extra protection from the weather. A 2-sided carport leaves the back open, creating a pull-through version that’s great for parking boats and large vehicles like RVs.

There are pros to both options; it’s just a matter of what fits your family best. Plus, don’t forget one of the best things about choosing a VersaTube structure — it’s completely customizable!
