Portable Carports Under Debate In Montreal


Portable garages and carports have many advantages for those looking to add extra storage space in their home for valuables such as car, trucks and equipment. There are still many Americans, as well as individuals in other countries, that do not have garage space for parking vehicles. Portable storage buildings give residential home owners the option of adding storage space without the need of building permits for permanent construction. However, it is always important to check with your local laws before purchasing a new portable garage carport. There is no such thing as a standard when it comes to outdoor shelters. Every city, state and country is different regarding building permit laws and what is considered an eye sore by city officials.

A recent article by CBC News titled, "Ban on temporary car shelters under review" is a good example of how some cities determine bylaws regarding portable garages and carports. In this particular case, portable building shelters were outlawed unless an exception to the rule was granted by city officials. Those individuals without permanent garages were allowed to erect portable shelters as an alternative. However, there is now talk that the ban may be lifted all together. This article sheds light on how city bylaws regarding canopies can be created and altered based on events. The laws are always changing and being challenged. The ever changing laws regarding shelter products and the politics discussed in this recent article should be a reminder to all that it is very important to check with local ordinances before making a purchase.
