Check out some of the other, off-the-beaten-path uses we’ve found for these surprisingly versatile shelters, tents, and semi-rigid canopies.
As Your Landscaping Headquarters
Also in springtime, your canopy or portable garage makes an excellent “base camp” for all your lawn and garden rejuvenation. Center your garden equipment and supplies, landscaping and gardening machinery, and all your other tools in one convenient, sheltered place. You’ll save time going back and forth to the garage, and you’ll have the peace of mind knowing that supplies like mulch, topsoil, and other important lawn and garden ingredients are kept safe without taking up valuable space in your garage or carport.
To Provide Shade for Your Pets and Livestock
Especially during the warm and humid summer months, a place to relax in the shade can be a lifesaver for cats, dogs, and many different kinds of livestock. Emptying your portable garage or canopy for use as a bivouac or temporary shelter for animals gives them a safe, reliable place to wait out the brutal summer heat. Just remember to follow your portable garage or canopy’s instructions regarding severe and inclement weather.

You’ll help keep volunteers out of the sun, and important sale items protected from the elements.

If your kids are part of a scout troop, youth group, or just a gang of pals, the portable garage provides a place to play, camp out, and generally just enjoy being young. If you’re holding a backyard cookout, the portable garage can be used as a party tent provide a place to store party supplies (ice chests, coolers, kegs, and cooking ingredients) out of the hot sun.
As An Extension of Your Carport
A personal garage also works great to expand the storage space of your carport, especially when company comes to visit and can benefit from vehicle storage space of their own. Open-sided canopies also offer great shade and shelter when washing your car or other vehicle, too.
