If you own an RV or Caravan, a Caravan Carport is essential

Carports for caravans and RVs are a great way to protect your investment and extend the life of your caravan or motorhome. By keeping it protected from the elements, you can avoid costly repairs and extend the life of your caravan. In addition, a motorhome carport can also be a safe and secure location when you’re not on the road.

Safeguard your investment with a caravan shade cover

Caravans are a wise investment due to their slower rate of depreciation compared to cars. Caravans depreciate at 10 to 15% per year while cars can depreciate at around 25 to 27% per year. You can also expect a better trade-in price for your caravan when you upgrade.

A well-maintained caravan retains its value and provides many years of enjoyment. Caravans, RVs and even boats need good care to retain their value. Caravan carports are the best way to protect your investment.

While a portable caravan shelter may offer temporary coverage for your van, it may not withstand the test of time. Maintain your caravan well and it can last 10+ years, providing a valuable asset when it’s time to sell. Therefore a sturdy and durable shelter such as a caravan carport should be your first consideration. It’s important to take into consideration your caravan carport roof height when upgrading your van or making your first motorhome investment. It would be better to build it right in the first place.

Don’t let the weather claim your caravan

When you take up caravanning in Australia, you need to be aware of the weather.

Caravans are not always built to withstand the extreme heat and cold that our country experiences. It’s important to take steps to protect your caravan from harsh weather. There are a few things you can do to protect your caravan from the weather.

Firstly, invest in a good quality caravan cover. This will help keep your caravan cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Also, if you have roller doors on your caravan carport, make sure you have adequate ventilation in your caravan. This will help to prevent mould and mildew from forming in your caravan.

A caravan garage or carport is the most effective way to protect your “home away from home” from the extremes of Australian weather.

Spanline’s Double-U® Roofing Systems are designed and built in Australia for Australian conditions. Our roofing panels have undergone rigorous testing and certification to withstand even the most extreme weather conditions, including cyclones. Our steel materials have also been fully tested and meet national accreditation standards for fire resistance under AS1530. We are proud that both our Double-U® and Slendek® roofing systems have received national accreditation for their cyclonic weather and fire resistance capabilities.

We recently had a Spanline awning installed and couldn't be happier. Jamie was fantastic to work with during the design process. He was knowledgeable and helped us choose a design that perfectly suited our needs. Josh handled the installation and did an excellent job. He was professional, efficient, and paid great attention to detail. The awning was installed to a very high standard, and the finished result looks amazing. Thank you to Jamie for his expertise in design and to Josh for the quality installation. We highly recommend this team for their outstanding service and workmanship.

After a considerable wait and evaluating the competition, I decided to put my faith in Spanline. Aaron was assigned to my project and encountered some challenges on the day, notably the weather. Despite this, he remained composed, showed patience and did not complain. He made a few visits and fitting off some flashing to complete the project. I’m very pleased with the results and attention to detail and only wish I didn’t wait so long to get my carport done

We had our entertainment area fully enclosed and could not be happier with the result. These guys are true professionals who clearly take great pride in their work. From the initial design right through to manufacturing and installation, they communicated brilliantly, arrived when they said they would, and went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect and we were completely satisfied. The quality of the finished product is excellent.I can’t recommend them highly enough — they made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended!
