We get it. You just bought that 1965 Ford Mustang, candy-apple red with black leather interior convertible, that you have been drooling over since you were 16. However, there is no room in your garage for it.
You couldn’t pass up the opportunity to buy it, but where are you going to put it? Perhaps you thought about leaving it out in front of your house, but the thought of your new baby being out in the elements gives you cold chills. No worries. We have the solution–an outdoor canopy.
Outdoor canopies come in a variety of styles and coverage, so you can protect your newest member of the family–or anything else you want to cherish–out of the rain, snow, and ice.
So, you bought a spiffy new car but there is no room in the garage for it. Learn how outdoor canopies can protect your new baby from the weather!Click To TweetWhy An Outdoor Canopy?
While many canopies–such as pop-up canopies–are used as a temporary cover in the wind, rain, and snow, outdoor canopies are slightly different. They are usually made from sturdier fabric than the pop-up canopies. They are made to withstand wind, rain, ice, sleet, and snow for long periods.
Also, outdoor canopies are specifically made to protect from sun damage as well as damage from the elements. This is important if you have a car, truck, RV, motorcycle, or ATV you want to protect.
Research shows that car paint can fade an average of one shade per year if it is left out in the elements without protection.
A Temporary Garage
One of the best reasons to have an outdoor canopy is to make a temporary garage for your new baby.
Maybe you made a spur-of-the-moment purchase, and you haven’t had time to clean out space in your garage. No problem. An outdoor canopy can cover your investment and protect it until you have done your cleanup.
We understand your time frame maybe a few months–or a few years. Outdoor canopies with walls so that you can make sure your vehicle is protected. There is even space for you to fit in there with your car to make repairs, polish, shine, or just admire your newest acquisition.
Need Storage?
There may be times that you need some extra storage for a short time. If you are building a deck, you may want to keep your wood out of the elements. No problem. We have outdoor canopies that can protect your equipment and your materials. We can also protect your tools and machinery.
Storage space is hard to come by in some homes, we know. When you bought your house, it might have been you and your partner. Now, there may be kids and pets in the mix, and your home isn’t as big as it once was.
You are working on remodeling your house, but it will be a little while before you can build a new garage or workspace. Outdoor canopies allow you to have a spot to transition between an old storage space and a new one.
Whatever space you are in, there is a canopy to handle the differing needs of your life.

What Should I Give My Kids For Valentine’s Day? @Joyin_co
I am new to the world of outdoor canopies, but I will have to buy a vintage Mustang and then institute a strong outdoor-canopy policy!
Having a nice old Mustang would be amazing
I would love one of these in front of my garage so I could enter my house without getting wet!
They are great for bad weather
We love and depend on our cars, so a canopy is an excellent way to protect such an investment! Thank you for this article!
