Boats are a fairly significant investment, and apart from your house and car, they may be one of the more expensive lifestyle investments you make. Boats are great for those who love the outdoor lifestyle, giving a unique opportunity to explore, spend more time in nature, and experience life on the water.
However boats require careful maintenance and storage when not in use, and while there are a variety of storage options available, a boat garage is essential for any serious boat owner.
A covered boat storage space protects your boat from the weather – prolonged exposure to rain, snow or sunlight can cause significant damage to your boat, including paint fading, upholstery cracks and wood warping. A controlled environment that helps protect your boat from the elements can help to maintain its value and extend its lifespan.
Boats can be easy targets for thieves and vandals, particularly when stored in an open area. A boat garage provides you with an additional layer of security, making it much harder for thieves to access your boat. The ability to lock the garage also protects your board from anyone tampering with it.
If you don’t have a shed to store your boat, but want it protected, you usually have to pay for additional storage away from your home. With a boat shed however, you have the convenience of your boat being accessible whenever you need it, whether it’s winter or summer. You have the ability to quickly and easily prepare it for use, without needing to worry about gaining access to a storage yard.
A shed can increase the value of your property, particularly if you live in areas with rivers, lakes or close to the ocean. It provides an added level of convenience for potential buyers who may be looking for a property with secure storage for their boat or jet ski.
Building a kit garage for your boat storage is often more cost-effective than building a custom garage from the ground up. These buildings can also save you money in the long run on storage fees. A kit shed from True Blue Sheds uses cutting-edge design software that gives us enormous flexibility to tailor your project to your unique site and weather conditions.
Do you want a shed with a double roller door, a few windows for ventilation and space for storage of your boat-related items? A kit shed gives you the flexibility to customise your garage build to suit your needs. You can choose the size and style of your garage, and add a range of features. True Blue has a shed builder program where you can design your shed from the comfort of your couch.
It is possible to build it yourself, depending on a few factors. When you purchase a building from us, we provide a detailed construction guide to assist you in assembling it. However, it’s imperative that your building be constructed using the proper tools and building techniques. Larger sheds may require specialist heavy-lifting machinery such as cranes to erect the frame. If you need help with organising the project, just ask, and we can assist.
