Portable shelters come in a wide array of styles to suit customers’ various needs. Barn-shaped shelters are among the most popular because they can accommodate so many types of vehicles and possessions.

What Is a Barn-Shaped Portable Garage?

A barn-shaped storage shelter is similar to a building with a peaked roof, but a barn-shaped shelter is wider. That difference in width makes a barn-shaped storage building more suitable for some purposes than a shelter with a peaked roof.

For instance, a barn-shaped shelter can be used to store large equipment, such as a tractor, that might be hard to squeeze into a building with a peaked roof. Barn-shaped storage shelters are therefore commonly found on farms and at businesses that use trucks and other types of large vehicles and equipment.

Homeowners frequently choose barn-shaped portable garages to store large vehicles in their yards. This type of shelter can be ideal for a boat or RV that can’t fit inside a typical garage. 

For boat owners, investing in a barn-shaped portable garage can save money in the long run. Boat storage fees can be expensive. Keeping a boat in the backyard can allow an owner to avoid paying for storage. 

How Is a Storage Building Constructed?

Shelters of America sells portable garages with durable steel frames that can stand up to rain and harsh winds. A baked-on powder-coated finish prevents corrosion, rust, chipping, and peeling. Universal steel foot plates keep the shelter securely anchored to the ground.

The covers on our storage buildings are made with waterproof polyethylene. They’re UV treated on both the inside and outside to prevent damage from sunlight. 

Zippered door panels make it easy to move vehicles and equipment in and out. Doors can be left open for ventilation or closed to protect a building’s contents from harsh weather. 

Which Shelter Is Right for Your Needs?

A barn-shaped storage building is versatile enough to be used for a wide range of purposes. If you need more storage space at your farm, business, or home, this might be your best option.

Shelters of America offers portable garages in a range of sizes. You can purchase a building to store one vehicle or a larger shelter where you can keep two or more vehicles or assorted equipment. Think about how you want to use a barn-shaped storage building, take some measurements, select the shelter that’s the right size, and place your order.
