These structures, found throughout the province, offer protective storage solutions for vehicles. They range from simple, open-sided shelters to fully enclosed garages, shielding automobiles from the elements. A basic example might be a metal roof supported by posts, while a more elaborate one could include walls, a door, and even insulation.
The provision of such shelters provides several advantages, including protection from sun damage, rain, snow, and potential vandalism. Historically, such structures evolved from simple carriage houses, reflecting an increasing awareness of the need to safeguard valuable transportation assets. The presence of adequate shelter contributes to the longevity and maintenance of vehicles, offering a practical and cost-effective solution.
