Shade canopies are not only useful for decks and patios, but they're also great for protecting your vehicles as well.
A car or boat canopy is the same type of structure as a garden or gazebo canopy but put to a different use.
They are particularly suited to protecting cars, boats, ATV, or any other motorized vehicle you may own.
These kinds of items are too big for the house (duh!) and too big for normal backyard sheds.
The only place to store them is outdoors so they will need everyday protection from the sun and rain.
Boat or car canopies are four-post tents with a fabric top, usually polyester, stretched over a frame that sits atop the canopy poles.
The cover is UV protected to withstand the sun and waterproof to protect what's underneath.
They will keep your vehicle both dry and away from the damaging rays of the sun.
So how does a boat canopy differ from a regular boat cover? Boat covers are just fabric that is pulled over the boat and cinched at the bottom to keep them in place.
They are often made for the specific type of boat you own to insure the right size and shape.
They are very effective at protecting from sun and rain even in the most violent of weather.
A boat canopy, on the other hand, is not as sturdy but a lot more flexible.
You simply park your boat under the canopy and you're done.
There is no fussing with the cover each time you want to use your boat.
This flexibility makes canopies great for protecting other vehicles as well.
They are not tied to a particular make, model or type of vehicle.
Whatever needs protection, just park it under the canopy.
You can get as large a canopy as you need if you have multiple vehicles to cover.
You can even throw the bikes under there too! A boat canopy provides the shade you need in the places you need it.
They are an inexpensive solution to adding more shade around your garage or home.
The only downside to a boat canopy is in the event of violent weather.
These structures are light weight by design and the tops can be ripped or torn in very strong winds.
They are not as strong or as durable as a fitted boat cover.
If you need a stronger canopy then you may need to consider a carport canopy.
These are stronger and more sturdy with extra ropes or ties for additional anchoring to the ground.
Shade canopies are the most flexible and easy way to add more shade where you need it.
Whether you need to cover a deck or patio, or a boat or car, these canopies are the perfect solution.
