1. From anchoring your carport, to transporting it, to providing extra protection for your vehicles, there are a number of helpful carport accessories to consider along with your carport purchase.
2. An anchor kit is one of the most important carport accessories your carport will need. Firm anchoring ensures that the carport will hold stable in a strong wind, and acts as a theft deterrent.
3. Anchor kits are available in a variety of styles. Some feature thick metal stakes, some feature drive rods, and others feature small metal auger stakes that screw into the ground.
4. Anchor kits also include either ropes or metal cables for securing your canopy. If you already have these, individual anchors are available for separate purchase.
5. When choosing an anchor kit, be sure that it is suits your purpose. Not all ground anchors are effective or safe for securing an item like a carport or canopy.
6. Weight bags are an easy, no-fuss, no-tools way to secure your carport, and a great idea for portable models. Weight bags can easily be filled with rocks or sand and attached to the carports legs.
7. Carrying bags and cases are a handy accessory for portable canopies, especially if you plan to use them frequently in different places.
8. Side wall kits are available for many canopy carport models. Sidewalls offer added protection from the elements and often have detachable designs that zip or snap on.
9. Should your canopy cover become damaged, there may be no need to purchase a whole new canopy. Durable rip-resistant canopy covers are available for some canopy models.
10. A canopy screen kit is a great way to add comfort to your outdoor party. Not only will your guests have sun protection, but protection from insects as well.
