If you use a portable garage to store a vehicle, farm equipment, or other large belongings, you need to have easy access to the building. You’ll also want to keep the temperature and humidity inside as stable as possible and keep animals, insects, and debris out. Adding a door to your portable garage is a simple way to do all these things.

Weather, Pests, and Debris Can Cause Problems

A portable garage has a large door that makes it easy to move a vehicle or equipment in and out. If you open that door to enter or leave, hot air from outside can get in during the summer, and cold outside air can get in during the winter. If it’s raining or snowing, opening the door can let moisture into the shelter. Changing temperatures and unwanted moisture can damage equipment and make it unpleasant for people to work inside the storage building. 

On a windy day, opening a large door can allow leaves, twigs, and other debris to get blown in. An open door can also give animals and insects an opportunity to slip into the portable garage. Blowing tree branches and pests can damage vehicles and equipment. If that happens, you might be forced to make costly repairs, and your business might fall behind schedule. 

Adding a Door to Your Shelter Can Help

Shelters of America offers Plyco doors that are much smaller than the doors that are used to get vehicles and equipment in and out of portable garages. Our doors measure 36” or 48” wide and 80” tall. They make it easy for a person to walk in and out of a storage building while minimizing the effects of weather and reducing the likelihood that pests will get inside. 

A Plyco door has a polyethylene foam core that provides excellent insulation. The core also deadens sound, which can be beneficial if you use your portable garage to run a business or to work on a hobby. 

A steel, fiberglass, or aluminum skin is attached to a foam core using a unique process. That produces a long-lasting door with minimal risk of delamination, bowing, and sagging. Our Plyco doors have aluminum frames, thresholds, and jambs, as well as full perimeter weather stripping and Grade 2 (BHMA) locksets. 

Adding a Plyco door with a polar white painted finish to your portable garage can improve its appearance. That might be particularly important to you if you use your shelter to operate a business or if it’s in a location where it’s visible from the street. 

Installing and maintaining a door on your portable garage is easy. Order a Plyco door from Shelters of America today.
