Outdoor Shelter Covers For Recreational Vehicles


As summer comes to an end it is time to consider storage options for all those fun recreational and seasonal vehicles. Boats, RVs, ATVs and camping supplies are used the most during the hot summer temperatures but need to be stored throughout the winter to ensure that they are in good working condition for the next season. The colder temperatures are still about a month away but it is best to plan ahead of time so that there are no surprises down the road. There is no worse feeling than not being prepared and watching helplessly as your recreational investment sits outside unprotected in the middle of a storm.

Portable garages, enclosed canopies and auto shelters are the perfect solution for your seasonal storage needs. These portable outdoor shelters provide a durable, steel framed barrier around your vehicle and the waterproof poly membrane prevents the elements from penetrating and doing damage. Fully water proof and UV resistant, portable garage shelter structures are a much more cost effective solution compared to that of storage facilities. Aside from storing recreational and seasonal vehicles, these structures can also be used to house autos, trucks, equipment and gardening supplies .


There are many different sizes available so it is important to get an accurate measurement of your vehicle before making a purchase. Measure the length, width and height of your largest vehicle to ensure that you purchase a structure that can store any one of your investments. Once these measurements have been completed your search for a portable storage shelter can begin. Pay close attention to all the the features and specifications and not just the price. Cheaper is not always better. You want to be sure to purchase a high quality shelter that will last year after year.


If you are not in a region that has severe weather throughout the winter months, another type of alternative shelter cover is a poly tarpaulin. Tarps can be found in a variety of sizes and can even be large enough to cover luxury RVs. These waterproof polyethylene sheets come retrofitted with grommets every 18" for securing purposes. As with all shelter covers, it is important to measure your surface area before purchasing one of these waterproof tarps. The poly tarp can be draped over your vehicle and secured with either rope or hook ties. Additionally, weights can be added to the top surface of the tarp to help hold it down during times of extreme wind.

As you are enjoying the rest of the summer take time to prepare your measurements and begin shopping for a portable storage solution. Whether you choose a canopy or tarp, be sure to purchase an item that will provide the best protection for your valuable investments.

The Difference Between A Fiesta And A Canopy Tent.

A canopy tent is a broad term for any type of steel frame portable structure that is assembled using galvanized fitting connectors. There are many different designs that are available for purchase and can range in sizes, pole diameter as well as, the type of cover included with the tent.

The pole diameter is selected based on the size of the structure. The larger the canopy tent, the larger the diameter of the pole. Canopy tent top cover fabrics can range from poly, shade mesh and canvas to specially treated fire retardant fabrics. The Fiesta Tent falls in the party canopy category and although it is still part of the canopy tent family, it is constructed using brighter more festive colors. Moreover, the Fiesta Tent is comprised of fire retardant polyester oxford nylon material. The fabric is not only strong but is also compliant under NFPA-701, CPAI-84 and California Title 19 fire retardant specifications and standards.

Also in the category of party canopies is the Carnival Tent, which includes the same fabric cover and the Fiesta Tent. Although the Fiesta and Carnival Tent share the same fire retardant cover and festive color options, the frame shape is what truly separates these two portable structures. The Fiesta Tent is comprised of a peaked roof design also known as the A Frame. The Carnival design is much different and contains a center crown fitting with all corner and side tubing leading to the center. This design feature give the Carnival Tent a unique look and allows for more square footage.

When shopping for a canopy tent base your purchase off the purpose of the tent. Canopy tents range in uses and are available as portable garages, car canopies, party tents, tarp shelters and more. The application in which the structure will be used is important in your decision and should be well thought out before a decision is made.
