Spring Prep: Why Now Is the Time to Replace Your Shelter Cover
Spring is here, and with it comes unpredictable weather, heavy rains, and strong winds. If you rely on a portable shelter to store vehicles, equipment, or seasonal gear, now is the ideal time to inspect your shelter’s condition and address any wear and tear from winter. A damaged or aging cover can compromise the structure’s protection, making shelter cover replacement a top priority this season.
Inspect Your Shelter for Wear and Tear
Start your spring shelter maintenance by carefully checking the entire structure. Look for common signs of damage such as:
- Cracks, holes, or thinning in the polyethylene cover
- Loose or rusted hardware
- Tension loss in ratchet straps
- Sagging or water pooling on the roof
If your cover is faded, brittle, or no longer fits tightly over the frame, it’s time to replace it before the spring storms intensify.
Why Polyethylene Covers Need Replacement
Even the most durable polyethylene cover won’t last forever. Exposure to UV rays, snow load, and temperature shifts can degrade the material over time. Replacing your cover not only restores the shelter’s strength and weather resistance, it also improves its appearance and usability.
At Shelters of America , we carry high-quality replacement covers designed to fit most standard portable garages, carports, and storage buildings. Whether you need a full replacement or a replacement roof cover only, we have you covered.
Tips for Choosing the Right Shelter Cover Replacement
- Measure Carefully: Confirm the dimensions of your shelter frame before ordering a new cover.
- Match the Material: Opt for heavy-duty, UV-treated polyethylene covers for long-lasting protection.
- Check Compatibility: If you purchased your shelter elsewhere, use our Replacement Cover Finder Tool to find the right fit.
