Shade sheds and carports are excellent investments for protecting your caravan or motorhome from the elements. They provide a covered area to store your vehicle, keeping it safe from the sun, rain, snow, and wind.

Benefits of Shade Sheds and Carports

• Protection from the sun: The sun's UV rays can damage the exterior of your caravan or motorhome, causing the paint to fade and the seals to deteriorate. A shade shed or carport will protect your vehicle from these harmful rays, keeping it looking its best for longer.
• Protection from the rain: Rain can cause water damage to your caravan or motorhome, especially if it seeps into the interior. A shade shed or carport will keep your vehicle dry, preventing water damage and mold growth.
• Protection from hail: Hail can will damage your caravan or motorhome, causing indentations on the roof and body. A shade shed or carport will help minimise damage to your vehicle.
• Protection from the wind: Wind can cause your caravan or motorhome to sway and rock, which can damage the interior and exterior of the vehicle. A shade shed or carport will provide a windbreak, protecting your vehicle from the wind.

Choosing the Right Shade Shed or Carport

When choosing a shade shed or carport for your caravan or motorhome, there are a few things to consider:

• The size of your vehicle: Make sure the shade shed or carport is large enough to accommodate your vehicle.
• The location of the shade shed or carport: Choose a location that is level and away from trees and other objects that could fall on your vehicle.
• The type of shade shed or carport: There are different materials used to build shade sheds and carports: steel, timber, aluminum etc. High quality shade sheds and carports are typically made of steel and are anchored to your foundation. Most caravan covers are typically made of fabric and can be easily damaged, not providing any protection at all.

Installing a Shade Shed or Carport

Installing a shade shed or carport is a relatively simple process. However, it is important to follow the installation instructions carefully. If you are not comfortable installing the shade shed or carport yourself, you can hire a professional to do it for you.
