Shelters
If our 85+ years of experience as America’s largest rural lifestyle retailer has taught us anything, it’s the importance and value of keeping what matters most out of the weather. That’s why we’re proud to offer a wide range of shelter products to help protect your Life Out Here. Learn more about how they can at Tractor Supply.
Shield People and Equipment from the Elements
Many options in our stock are freestanding tent-style awnings, which, like canopies, are designed to provide shade and cover during backyard get-togethers while camping or during emergencies. Others are garage-style, intended for use as carports for ATVs, UTVs and other vehicles, as well as storage spaces for landscaping equipment. Some can even be mounted to a truck bed. While most are temporary and made to be easy to put up, break down and move, some are more permanent, comprised of prefabricated modular panels or other structures, and can be assembled DIY.
Versatile Designs
Open shelters are commonplace, offering easy entry and exit. Others are fully enclosed, complete with galvanized or powder-coated metal doors that repel moisture and stave off rust — ideal for setting up in areas prone to heavy downpours. For an especially scratch- and impact-resistant option, choose a shelter with tempered glass windows. They’re designed to break into blunt pieces rather than sharp shards if they shatter, making them less likely to cause injury.
Rugged Constructions
For any enclosure to stand the test of time, a hard-wearing frame is crucial. Steel can stand up to strong winds and heavy precipitation without deforming, while aluminum is not only lightweight but also corrosion-resistant. Fiberglass, on the other hand, won't rot, and it’s low-maintenance. The rest of its structure should be just as durable, particularly against moisture.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Shelters
What should I consider before buying an outdoor shelter?
Before you buy, it’s important to think about what you intend to use a shelter for, how much space you require and the climate you live in. If you plan to erect a shelter temporarily, such as for a family barbecue, small work event or even a survival situation, you may prefer something quickly deployed and easily transported, capable of protecting you and several people and all your belongings from Mother Nature. If a permanent structure, such as a shed, is what you have in mind, choose something built long-lasting, to stand up to adverse weather and environmental stress in any season.
Which shelters are best for resisting mold, mildew and weather-related damage?
To help keep your shelter from accumulating and building up mold and mildew, opt for walls and a roof comprised of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), in contrast, stands up to a wide range of temperatures, making it an ultra-weather-resistant choice. Other fabrics, such as nylon and vinyl-coated polyester, also offer exceptional waterproofing.
