A Carport Means Frostless Windows

Carport

Tis the Season to hum about winter weather, but have you ever noticed that you don’t sing while you’re scraping frost off your car windows? There’s not much more miserable than freezing fingers before an early morning commute.

Get rid of the windshield frost by covering your car with a carport from IP Storage Solutions. It’s like putting a blanket on top of your vehicle. The radiant heat from your car gets trapped under the roof, meaning that all the moisture in the air freezes everywhere but on your car.

And the carports at IP Storage Solutions offer you a ton of choices. Start by choosing color or size. Add on utility space. Enclose part, or all – and have a garage, even with windows.

Our buildings have standard 29 gauge steel paneling. The standard tubing is 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ 14 gauge, or you can upgrade to 12 gauge with 2 1/4″ x 2 1/4″. (Learn more about our buildings here.)

Of course, if it’s cold and frosty, the most important thing is that they cover your car or truck and so you won’t have to scrape, and you can whistle on your way to work!
