ShelterTube Portable Garages & Storage Shelters

Q: Do I need a permit for a portable garage?

A portable garage that stays up year-round is usually treated as an accessory building, with a size limit and setbacks, and may need a permit — unlike a temporary winter car shelter. Check your municipal bylaw before you order.

Q: Can it stay up all winter?

Yes. The ShelterCoat, ShelterTube and Sojag Everest ranges are designed for year-round use in Canada. Clear heavy snow from the cover after big storms and keep the frame anchored and the cover tensioned.

Protect your vehicles, ATVs, and equipment with IPATIO's steel garage kits. Our portable garages provide secure, weather-tight storage for cars, trucks, motorcycles, and power equipment — without the cost of a permanent concrete structure.

Available in single and double vehicle sizes with roll-up doors, side entry doors, and ventilation panels. Galvanized steel panels resist rust through Canadian winters. Many models are rated for significant snow loads and include anchoring hardware.

Portable garage or car shelter?

A portable garage is the year-round option: ShelterLogic ShelterCoat and ShelterTube frames are wind-and-snow rated, take a heavier cover, and come in sizes up to 20 x 32 ft for two vehicles, a boat or a workshop. The Sojag Everest is a bolt-together steel garage with a rigid roof. If you only need to keep snow off one car from October to April, a lighter winter car shelter does the job for less; for an open-sided permanent structure, see our steel carports.

Popular sizes

12 x 20 ft — one car or SUV with shelving on one side
12 x 24 ft and 13 x 20 ft — full-size pickups
12 x 28 ft and larger — two vehicles, an RV or a boat on its trailer

How is it delivered?

Portable garages ship flat on a pallet or in cartons by freight, with free shipping across Canada on orders over $88*. Most carriers deliver to the curb by default and, when they offer that service, contact you to book a delivery appointment. Delivery takes about 3–15 business days from your order, depending on the distance (an estimate). Remote areas, islands and the territories can take longer. Read the ShelterLogic portable garage setup guide for the tools and time each model needs.
