Portable Garage Plans

Make a portable garage from A1 Tarps part of your plan for adding durable, affordable space to your property.

If you need more space for vehicles, lawnmowers, landscaping equipment or outdoor furniture, you may have already done the math over building a garage structure. The numbers probably didn't work out in your favor.

• Construction is expensive. Building a one- or two-car garage onto your home requires a massive investment into concrete, lumber, electrical components, maybe plumbing or drainage and anything else you want to add. And unless you are skilled at all those trades, you will likely have to hire a contractor and few workers to get it all done.
• Construction isn't always possible. Your property may be landlocked with not much space, such as a historic neighborhood or suburb. You may live in a private neighborhood with a restrictive homeowner's covenant. Or your city's or county's building codes may not allow for such a project.
