Protecting your vehicle from various damage-causing factors in Florida can be as simple as parking or storing it under a carport! To help keep your vehicle in great condition, you should consider utilizing a carport as often as possible. It can protect your vehicle from faded paint or cracked leather that can be caused by sun exposure. It can also prevent vehicle damage caused by hail or other inclement weather, which may require major repairs to correct. Aside from this, it can shield your vehicle from pollen, bird droppings, and other debris that may fall on it. A carport will not only help keep your vehicle free of damage but will help it stay clean, which creates less work for you!


Carports protect vehicles from the sun and help to prevent paint from fading and leather from cracking.

Parking your vehicle under a carport will protect it from serious damage caused by prolonged exposure to the sun! Continuous exposure to the sun can damage your vehicle in a couple of ways. When a vehicle is consistently exposed to sunlight, it can cause the paint to fade. Once the paint fades, you will need to consider repainting your vehicle to correct it. This type of sun exposure can also damage the leather inside your vehicle and eventually cause it to crack.

Leather that cracks due to extended sun exposure might require special treatments to correct it or even a full replacement!


When you keep your vehicle under a carport, you prevent damage from hail and other inclement weather.

Keeping your vehicle under a carport is one of the best ways to prevent weather-related damage that may happen at any time with little to no notice! For example, during the occasional times when it hails, it's most likely unexpected and can lead to many dents on your vehicle ranging in size. These dents will require repairs that can sometimes be major. Other inclement weather, such as bad rainstorms, for example, may lead to heavy debris falling from trees or other sources and can also result in major damage to your vehicle. If your car is parked under a carport during these weather events, it will be better protected from any potential damage.


A carport can help shield your vehicle from pollen, bird droppings, and other things that could fall on it.

A carport can act as a shield to help protect your vehicle from various things that may fall on it, causing it to become dirty or even damaged! There are several times throughout the year when pollen levels are high. When your vehicle is unprotected during these times, it can rapidly become covered in pollen. Without a carport, to keep your car free of pollen, you will need to clean it on a regular basis, which is time-consuming. Aside from pollen, you may notice bird droppings on your vehicle when not parked under one, which also adds to the constant need to clean your vehicle. Additionally, it can help protect your vehicle from other debris that may fall on it, such as tree branches, twigs, and leaves!
