Portable Garages:
Thinking of purchasing one?
What should I know about them?
- Portable garages are considered to be temporary and are not designed to handle the elements of the Canadian climate.
- Snow and Ice buildup on the roof may result in collapse of the structure.
- Wind forces are capable of blowing these structures away if they are not securely anchored to the ground.
- Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer for construction and assembly of portable garages.
- A building permit is not required.
- The location of all portable garage-like structures must comply with current Zoning By-Laws. Please contact the Planning Division to inquire about location restrictions in your area.
Contact the Planning Division Administrator for more zoning information at 705-329-7259.
