How to Book Your Carport Installation

Quebec's picturesque winters bring their share of challenges, including the need to protect your vehicle from the harsh elements. A winter car shelter isn't a luxury, but a necessity to preserve the value of your investment and avoid the hassle of snow and ice. However, installing these structures can seem daunting. At Gazebo LaRose, we simplify this process for you. This article will guide you step by step on how to book a hassle-free winter car shelter installation , ensuring your vehicle is safe even before the first snowfall.

We understand that your time is valuable and that you're looking for efficient and reliable solutions. That's why we've optimized our booking and installation process to be as seamless as possible. Whether you choose a model like the 12' SINGLE Carport , the SINGLE Single-Pent Carport, the DOUBLE Carport , or the 11' SINGLE Carport, our team is here to help. Find out how simple planning can save you a lot of winter headaches and how booking your carport installation is a breeze.

Why Professional Installation is Essential

Before diving into the booking process, it's crucial to understand the benefits of professional installation. While some shelters may seem simple to assemble, proper installation ensures the structure's stability, durability, and safety. A professional has the expertise and tools to ensure the shelter is securely anchored, the fabric is taut, and all components are assembled according to the manufacturer's specifications. This is especially important in Quebec, where strong winds and snow accumulation can put a strain on even the sturdiest structures.

Safety First

Poor installation can lead to collapse, especially under the weight of snow. Improper ground anchoring can turn your shelter into a projectile during high winds. Our technicians follow strict protocols to ensure your carport is a safe structure for your vehicle and those around you.

Maximum Durability

Proper installation maximizes the lifespan of your shelter. A well-tensioned canvas will be more resistant to bad weather and UV rays. Well-sealed joints will prevent water and cold from entering. Choosing professional installation means investing in the longevity of your shelter.

Save Time and Peace of Mind

Assembling a carport can be laborious and take several hours, or even a full day. By entrusting this task to our experts, you save valuable time that you can devote to other winter preparations. Plus, knowing your shelter is professionally installed gives you invaluable peace of mind throughout the cold season.

Choosing the Right Shelter for Your Needs

The first step to booking a successful winter carport installation begins with choosing the perfect shelter. Gazebo LaRose offers a diverse range of shelters designed to meet different needs and space configurations. Consider the following when making your selection:

Dimensions and Available Space

Carefully measure the space where you plan to install the shelter. Consider the width, length, and height required for your vehicle, including space for opening doors and maneuvering. Our models vary:

• SINGLE 12' Shelter : Ideal for effective protection with a width of 12 feet, perfect for a standard car. Its 16-gauge mini-oval structure offers superior strength.
• SIMPLE Single-Pitch Shelter : A clever solution for narrow driveways, built against the house to maximize space. 11 feet wide.
• DOUBLE Shelter : The most spacious in our range, available in widths of 16, 18 or 20 feet, designed to accommodate two vehicles.
• SIMPLE 11' Shelter : A versatile model, designed in Quebec to withstand our harsh winters, with a width of 11 feet.

Materials and Sustainability

Our shelters are made with high-quality materials to withstand Quebec's harsh weather conditions. We use galvanized steel or Alu-zinc (Galvalum) steel with woven polyethylene canvas, UV-stabilized and weighing 8 ounces. These materials guarantee excellent resistance to corrosion and weathering.

Specific Features

Consider the features that are important to you. Some of our shelters, like the 12' SINGLE Shelter and the 11' SINGLE Shelter, offer the option of being raised or extended to accommodate larger vehicles like SUVs, trailers, or RVs. The DOUBLE Shelter comes with two full doors and two vinyl windows for better visibility.

We will suggest available dates and times based on your location and our installation schedule. We do our best to accommodate your preferences and ensure a prompt response, ideally before the arrival of harsh winter conditions.

Step 4: Preparation of the Installation Site

For optimal installation, ensure the area where the shelter will be erected is clear. Remove any obstacles such as patio furniture, tools, toys, or accumulated snow. A clean, level area will make our installers' work easier and ensure a safe and efficient installation.

Step 5: Professional Installation

On the appointed day, our team of qualified technicians will arrive at your home with all the necessary equipment. They will install your carport to the highest standards of quality and safety.

Tips for a Successful Installation

To make the process of booking and installing your carport go smoothly, here are some additional tips:

Book Early!

Demand for our installation services is very high, especially as winter approaches. To ensure you get a convenient appointment and your shelter is installed before the first snowfall, we strongly recommend booking your carport installation as early as possible, ideally in late summer or early fall. This will also give you a wider selection of dates.

Check Soil Conditions

Some soils may require special anchors to ensure the shelter's stability. Our teams will assess the site during installation, but if you have a specific soil type (rocky, sandy, sloping), please let us know during planning. Options such as permanent anchors can be discussed.

Understanding Weather Conditions

Carport installation is weather dependent. In the event of strong winds, freezing rain, or snowstorms, we may have to postpone your appointment for safety reasons. We will contact you promptly to reschedule if necessary.
