Steel Metal Sheds, Carports and Garages Make Ideal Fall Storage Options
The wheels of change just keep on rolling. After a warmer than average summer, fall has made its triumphant return. Rapidly cooling temperatures have accelerated the autumnal transition as a beautiful fall explosion of color has begun to overcome our landscapes. Orange, red and gold leaves have once again provided the perfect seasonal backdrop for last-second DIY home improvement projects. Leaf-blowers and rakes will soon replace lawnmowers and weed eaters as we try to protect our well-manicured lawns and perennials from the season’s first frost. But as the days grow shorter, we will need to secure our toys and tools from the damaging effects of colder temperatures and unpredictable weather. Carport.com has a wide selection of fall storage options with enclosed carports, garages and metal storage sheds to protect seasonal equipment.
Protect Your Car From Damaging UV Rays and Destructive Winds
Did you know that UV rays can be just as damaging to property in the fall as they are in the summer? While it’s true that UV rays alternate in intensity, based on the season, this doesn’t mean that you should let your guard down in securing year-around protection. With a chill in the air, it’s all too easy to forget that UV rays can damage a car’s luster by prematurely aging paint and fading plastic vinyl and leather interiors. Fall is also notorious for rapidly evolving weather systems that bring a barrage of whacky weather. Cold fronts are typically the harbingers of long-lasting cooler weather patterns. Unfortunately, high winds are a tell-tale hallmark of these sudden incursions. We don’t have to tell you what a few pieces of wind-slung gravel or frayed roofing shingles can do to a car’s paint job and windshield. A fully enclosed two-car garage can provide complete protection from damaging sunlight and high speed winds. Repainting a car can cost more than $5,000 and even a small crack in a windshield can result in a complete replacement that flirts with the $1,000 price range.
Fall Storage Can Keep Your Engine Running Smoothly
Cold weather can also strain your car’s engine, making it prone to overheating and breaking down. Because a car’s engine oil becomes thicker in the cold weather, it becomes harder to pump this viscous, but necessary component through your engine. Ultimately, this can even put greater strain on your car’s battery. Enclosed carports and garages can protect your vehicle’s engine from the insidious effects of colder weather. With the help of a skilled contractor, you could even add climate control and ventilation to your garage to keep it warm during the colder months. Never again will you have to worry about running out to your car in your PJ’s and heavy winter coat to let your car warm-up before the morning commute. Garage storage also prevents frosty windshields and nefarious ‘peep hole’ driving practices.
Protect Livestock With Agricultural Fall Storage
Tools and equipment aren’t the only assets that need protection from the elements. Our crafty and industrious engineers have also created a line of steel barns and agricultural storage buildings to protect our fury friends. You can easily install horse stalls and designated feeding areas with our wide open barn design.
