REPLACEMENT COVERS FOR PREVIOUS VERSIONS STILL AVAILABLE.
DESIGNED TO OPEN AND CLOSE OVER YOUR CAR.
Easily opened and closed. Folding Garages are also known as Portable Garages or Perambulator Garages.
A Cover Systems Folding Garage consists of a folding galvanised metal framework (in the style of an old fashioned perambulator hood) covered with a strong fabric cover which attaches to this framework.
- We manufacture them in two sizes:
- The smaller, for saloon cars up to 14 feet, or 4.27 metres, long.
- The larger, for saloon cars up to 16 feet, or 4.88 metres, long.
A Folding Garage makes a great semi permanent storage facility when a brick built structure is not available.
Sizing Information
For both garages the additional ground space length is needed to allow the frame to lie flat when fully open.
Packed and ready to go (sorry about the green pole, its part of our building !)
The prices quoted on our website include VAT and free GB mainland delivery. Delivery of some heavy or bulky items to NI, Islands and other remote parts of the UK may incur extra delivery charges.
Technical Information
THE FRAME
The framework of the Folding Garages is constructed from mild steel which has been totally galvanised.
The tubular part of the frame is constructed with 3/4" square mild steel tube 1/16" thick. Square tube provides a more rigid structure than round tube.
The hinge assembly is made with 1/8" thick steel plate. This is a sturdy structure, far superior to simply bolting tubing together.
Here is a picture:
THE COVERING
The covering is a breathable polyester, 300D high strength, woven textile, with a pleasing olive green colour. Breathability is ensured by an, approximately, 2" gap all round between the hem of the cover and the frame. This gap promotes a good draft at ground level, ensuring the Folding Garage can deal with high humidity weather conditions.
Optional Extras
- Ground fixing.
- If you are using your Folding Garage on a concrete base we can supply you with ground fixing bolts to hold the frame firmly down.
- If your Folding Garage is on a surface you cannot bolt to (eg grass, block paving etc) we can supply wheel plates to hold the frame down, these are also an alternative fixing method for concrete bases. The plates hold the garage in place with the weight of the car.
- The wheel plates are made from heavy duty galvanised steel construction.
- Security.
- Option 1: Security Clamp. Powerful theft deterrent. Prevents prying eyes. Heavy duty galvanised steel construction. Secure with padlock. Held in place with ground fixing bolts.
- Option 2: Extra wheel plate. When you are unable to fix a security clamp in place using ground fixing bolts an extra wheel plate can be used to hold down the opening end of the Folding Garage. You need to supply your own weight (a bucket filled with sand is ideal).
