How to properly anchor your carport for winter? Trevi offers solid solutions for anchoring your carport safely and durably.

Every Trevi shelter comes with a basic anchoring system. Given the severity of Quebec winters, we strongly recommend combining these anchors with another type, such as concrete blocks, wind strips or permanent anchors.

1 Concrete blocks : guaranteed strength :

Using concrete blocks is a simple and effective way of reinforcing the stability of your carport. Ideally, they should be installed at the same time as the carport. By installing six blocks in 4 to 5 foot sections, 3 on each side, you ensure that the shelter will withstand high winds. This procedure is compatible with rope or Secure Lock systems.

2 Wind strips for extra protection:

 Windbands complete your shelter's protection by attaching them directly to the roof. Thanks to their twisted pegs, they provide a firm hold on the ground, reducing the risk of flying off during winter storms.

3 Opting for permanent anchors: the sustainable solution:

Permanent anchors are a particularly robust and economical long-term option, so secure that they can be used on their own. Although their installation requires special tools and considerable physical effort, they guarantee unrivalled stability for your shelter. Once the hooks are securely anchored in the ground, you can easily attach and remove the canvas according to the season.

In winter, you attach the canvas to the top eyelet, and in summer you can replace this eyelet with a screw fitted with a gasket to prevent corrosion.

Conclusion:

To protect your carport and extend its life, it's essential to use anchors adapted to Quebec's climatic conditions. Trevi offers effective solutions for every type of shelter, guaranteeing safety and peace of mind.
