Boat Carport vs. Boat Garage

A boat carport provides a roof to cover your boat, and comes with open sides or partial or full side panels. The primary advantage of a boat carport is that it provides a lot of protection for a very low cost.

A boat garage is fully enclosed, so it provides even better protection for your boat from the weather. It also puts your boat out of sight, protects it from vandalism and theft, and provides additional storage space for other items.

Avoid Boat Storage Fees with Your Own Boat Shelter
Taking your boat out for fishing or relaxing is a great way to spend a day—but when winter arrives, boat storage costs can add up fast.
With your own boat shelter, you can skip monthly storage fees and keep your boat protected at home all season long.
At Alan’s Factory Outlet, we offer durable boat storage buildings designed to protect your boat from the elements. Our prefab boat storage sheds, metal carports, and garages can be customized to fit your boat and your property—making it easy to store your vessel during the off-season.
Need room for more than a boat? Our carports and garages are also great for RVs and other large vehicles.

Why Use a Covered Boat Storage Building?
A covered boat storage building protects your boat when it’s not on the water—especially in the off-season. It helps shield your vessel from sun, rain, wind, snow, and hail, and adds extra protection against theft and vandalism.
When choosing winter storage, keeping your boat on land in a covered boat storage shed is usually the safer option than leaving it in the water—just make sure you winterize it before storing.
How to Winterize Your Boat for Covered Boat Storage
Before you store your boat for winter, use this quick checklist to winterize your boat and prep it for a boat shelter or covered boat storage:
- Wash and dry the hull and deck.
- Fix any damage (chips, blisters, cracks).
- Flush the cooling system and drain water where needed.
- Stabilize the fuel and run the engine briefly.
- Protect the engine (fogging oil if recommended for your motor).
- Change oil and filters.
- Check lower unit / gear lube and replace if needed.
- Remove valuables and secure loose gear.


After You Winterize Your Boat: Where Should You Store It?
Off-site storage can get expensive, and storing a boat in a garage isn’t always possible. Leaving it in the yard with a tarp can be a hassle (and may violate HOA rules), and ongoing exposure can lead to damage.
Covered storage also adds peace of mind by keeping your boat out of sight and harder to access than open driveway or yard storage.
Build or Rent Boat Storage?
Renting can feel easier upfront, but storage fees add up every year. Investing once in a boat shelter or boat storage shed can save money long-term—and it keeps your boat protected season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions
There isn’t a singular best size carport for a pontoon boat, since these boats are produced in a wide variety of sizes. Fortunately, so are our carports! Explore our carport sizes to find the one that works best for your pontoon boat.
Yes! Pontoon boats come in many different sizes, but so do our garages. A pontoon boat can certainly fit in a garage if you measure the dimensions carefully to ensure that you’re ordering the right size. Check our size and price guides to find what options might best suit your pontoon boat.
Our boat carport prices start at around $1,500. For garages used as boat storage, the smallest size is around $4,000.
You may be able to find an individual storage unit that is large enough to accommodate your boat. However, if you’re looking for boat garage ideas, we don’t recommend this option, as these units are not designed for boat storage. You might damage the boat just trying to get it inside and, even if it fits comfortably, if the unit isn’t properly climate-controlled, your boat might not be in the same condition you left it when you return for it. In the long run, you’ll save money and lower the risk of damage by installing your own boat storage building.
In most cases, you can expect to pay $200 to $300 a month for dry boat storage. The price can vary depending on your location and the size of your boat.
