A portable garage can be an ideal location to keep a vehicle, a lawnmower, and other vehicles or equipment safe from rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. A storage shelter can also protect your belongings from animals, insects, and other potential sources of damage.

When you shop for a portable shelter, you’ll first have to figure out which size and design will best suit your needs. Once you have selected the right building, you’ll have to decide on a color. 

Shelters of America offers storage buildings with translucent, white, gray, tan, and green covers. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a color for your portable garage.

Do You Want Your Storage Building to Blend in or Stand Out?

Some homeowners don’t want their portable shelter to be visible from the street and don’t want people’s attention to be drawn to it when they’re in the backyard. That might be because they don’t want thieves to be tempted, or it might be because they want guests to focus on the house, pool, garden, or other features of the property. If you want your storage building to fade into the background, you can select a green or tan cover that will blend in with the vegetation in your yard. 

If you want your portable garage to stand out, you can go with a bolder color or a shade that will contrast with the color of your house. If your home is white or beige, a shelter with a green cover can give your yard a burst of color. If your house has siding with a bold color, such as blue or red, a white storage building can provide an attractive contrast.

How Much Light Do You Want inside the Shelter?

If you plan to spend time inside your storage building working on a vehicle or practicing a hobby, you’ll want to have as much natural light as possible. In that case, a shelter with a translucent cover can be your best option. Sunlight will illuminate the building’s interior, and you won’t have to worry about setting up an artificial light source or fumbling with a flashlight.

Order a Shelter That Will Work for You

Each homeowner has unique storage needs and preferences. That’s why Shelters of America offers portable garages in assorted sizes, styles, and colors. 

Think about what you want to store in a shelter, figure out which dimensions will be appropriate, and then select the right color. Once you’ve decided on the perfect combination of features, place your order.
