A portable garage is an excellent alternative to a traditional garage. It can keep vehicles, tools, lawn and garden equipment, and other valuable belongings safe from the elements if you don’t have space or money to build a traditional garage. A portable garage has steel support beams and a durable polyethylene cover that can stand up to rain and wind, but for those components to work, the entire structure must be firmly anchored to the ground.
Choose the Right Anchors
If you want to set up a portable garage on a dirt or grass surface, anchoring it should be fairly easy. The portable garage kit should come with a set of anchors that can be driven into the ground at an angle to secure the structure. Be sure to use the anchors that came with your portable garage since they are designed for a building of that particular size. Other anchors from a hardware store might not be able to support the weight of your portable garage or might not extend far enough into the ground to keep the building stable in strong winds.
If you don’t have space in your yard for your portable garage, you might need to set it up in your driveway. Anchoring a shelter to asphalt is more difficult, but it can be done. You will need to use quality, heavy-duty anchors that are specifically designed to be used in asphalt and drill holes into the driveway to secure the anchors. Make sure you have the proper equipment. If you don’t, you might be able to rent the tools you need or hire someone to help you.
Depending on the size and weight of your portable garage, you might need stronger auger anchors. They are designed for larger and heavier portable garages that might be difficult to adequately secure with standard anchors. You can find auger anchors that are designed for grass or dirt surfaces or asphalt.
Protect Your Garage and Other Belongings
A portable garage is a significant financial investment, so you want to make sure that it can stand up to wind without suffering damage. Properly anchoring your shelter can allow it to perform the way it should and protect your valuable possessions inside. If you decide to relocate your portable garage to another part of your property or to move to another house, you can simply remove the anchors from the ground, pack up your portable garage, and transport it to another location.
Portable Garage Depot offers shelters in a wide range of sizes and styles that can be used to protect your vehicles and other prized possessions. No matter which type of shelter you choose and where you set it up, be sure to anchor it securely to the ground.
