A portable garage delivered complete and set on your prepared ground. There is no slab to pour and no crew to schedule — which is most of the appeal when the alternative is a construction project.
Worth knowing
Sized for a car, a truck, a boat, motorcycles, mowers or ATVs, and equally useful as workshop or hobby space. Because it sits on skids rather than a foundation, check with your building department about how a portable garage is classified locally — the answer varies and it affects permitting.
