This picture shows an RV garage called the “Mountain Bluff” — quite the RV storage solution, and one probably every RV owner, or large RV owner, looks to with some thought of the ease having a big metal building would provide. Most of us deal with parking our RV units, motorhomes, trailers, tractor-trailers, etc., on the road or on a gravel bed in our backyards.
RV consumer reports suggest it’s one of the reasons people sell an RV, or can’t but an RV. Larger ones just take up so much space, and this leads to selling motorhomes that provide a lot of enjoyment — much needed weekends out, travel opportunities, etc. with the family, and without the headache of hotels and buying food on the road.
There are a lot of these barns for RVs — a lot of them are metal buildings you can buy plans for and have built custom. More permanent structures can also be made out of IRO Timber which has a more attractive finish, as well as having reinforced strength and durability.
The most notable features of this one are the two side wings, which can be used as additional garage space, a home office, or an RV port. It’d be smart to check that this is covered in any home insurance policy you take out though. If you’re not sure you can take a look at this simplyinsurance.com guide to what homeowners covers to check, and work from there. What’s neat though is that potentially, you could house everything needed for a tractor-trailer business right here in these three rooms.
“Mighty Steel metal RV garages and shelters are ideal for either a temporary or permanent RV garage or shelter,” designers Falcon RV Port say of their constructions Bradley Buildings‘ website.
“When securing to asphalt Bradley will utilize a rail system with hurricane anchors. When building on the ground the client has a choice of either anchoring the posts in concrete or using the rail system. Most buildings are secured to a concrete slab via a rail system and expanding bolts. Available in 12′ to 30′ in width. Length ranges from 20′ to 150’.”
Bradley makes a wide range of these structures. Some have no wings, some have one, some have two.
You can get them customized to however you want them. They design the structures in 3D on computers, then build them. A lot of them have hardiplank siding.
They have a front and rear door, removing the need to back into them, as long as you have the space to do a loop around them.
These buildings made by Falcon RV Port Home are only available in Alabama, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, and the southernmost parts of Tennessee, and Virginia, but you can probably get similar structures built by other companies in other states and locations.
