Shade Shed Or Garage?
Posted by Gritty Palace Shade Sheds on 17th Apr 2024
Garages and shade sheds are both structures that can protect vehicles from the elements, but there are some key differences between the two. Gritty Palace shade sheds offer better value than traditional garages or basic carports. Let's explore their differences.
Garages
- Are often attached to a house or another structure
Typically have a roof, walls and a roller door
Can be used for both parking and storage - Can not be DIY assembled, therefore increasing your construction costs
- Freestanding structures
- Typically have a roof and portal support posts
- Can be open on one or more sides. Can also be enclosed if required.
- Provides protection from the weather elements and are more versatile for storage of larger vehicles (caravans, boats, tractors, motorhomes and even horses)
Which One is Right for You?
The best type of structure for you will depend on your specific needs and preferences. Here are a few things to consider:
- Budget: Garages are typically much more expensive to both purchase and install in comparison to shade sheds and carports.
- Space: Garages may be enclosed, however they lack height, so they may not be a good option if you have large, tall vehicles.
- Protection needs: If you are storing perishables, food or personal effects that can not be exposed to the weather elements, you may want to consider a garage, which offers more protection.
- Style: Both garages and shade sheds come in a variety of styles, so you can always choose one that complements your home and yard.
Benefits of Garages and Shade Sheds
Both garages and shade sheds offer a number of benefits, including:
- Protection from the elements: Garages and shade sheds can protect your vehicles from the sun, rain, snow and wind. This can help to extend the life of your vehicles and prevent damage.
- Portability: As they are transportable, shade sheds can be moved easily between locations. Garages are fixed, permanent structures that are not transportable.
- Additional storage space: Garages can be used to store a variety of items, such as garden equipment, tools, bikes and small knick knack objects that do not have a space in your home. Shade sheds are far more versatile for vehicles, trucks, caravans and boats.
- A place to work or relax: Shade sheds can be used as a workshop, a place to relax, or as a shady spot to enjoy the outdoors, while garages are fully enclosed, offering limited natural sunlight.
