According to the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association’s figures, more than 1 million Americans own a snowmobile. If you just joined their ranks, portable garage ownership may be in your future too. Portable garages are excellent when it comes to storing snowmobiles. With that said, here’s how to select one for your new ride:
Portable Garages Tip#1: Snowmobile/Trailer Size
When selecting a portable garage to protect your new investment, you’ll need to take a few measurements. Many snowmobiles are around 10 feet long, 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide. They are also typically paired with pull-trailers. The pull-trailers are understandably a little bit bigger than the snowmobiles (11 or 12 feet). Some of them also come outfitted with ramps. As such, you are going to want to select a portable garage that can accommodate the size of your entire snowmobile set-up.
One that may work for you is our 12’ x 20’ x 8’ Peak Portable Garage. It features 6 foot tall and 10 foot wide doors. The fire retardant, white interior of the portable garage is 12 foot wide, 8 foot high and 20 foot long. So that should give you plenty of room to negotiate a sled and pull-trailer combo. The ample, dual doors will also give you an opportunity to vent out any fumes.
Portable Garages Tip #2: Frame/Fabric Construction
Once you know what size portable garage is needed, take a second to examine its construction. Remember, it has to be sturdy enough to handle snow, wind, sleet, hail and anything else that Mother Nature decides to chuck at it. Take our 9’ x 8’ x 10’ Peak Portable Garage as an example. It is made with a heavy-duty, pure steel frame that’s been bonded with a baked on, DuPont thermoset finish.
In addition, the frame is covered with a snug, high-quality, rip-stop fabric. The UV-treated fabric is lined for optimal use in low light situations. Furthermore, it is waterproof, fungal and age resistant. So it is apt to stand fast no matter how much snow Mother Nature kicks in its face.
Portable Garages Tip #3: Anchors/Accessories
Finally, take a look at the portable garage’s anchoring system and accessories. The anchoring system should be compatible with the ground the portable garage will sit on. Examples of items available include auger anchors, steel foot plates, drive rods, ratchet tie-downs and U-bolts.
