The Top 5 Uses for a Portable Garage (Besides Parking Your Car)
When you hear the word “garage,” your mind probably goes straight to cars, tools, or maybe even a place to stash clutter. But a garage can be so much more than a spot for parking — especially when it’s a Stor-Mor Portable Garage that you can customize to fit your lifestyle.
Whether you’re dreaming of a side hustle space, a home gym, or simply need a more functional layout, here are five surprising ways you can transform a portable garage into your favorite new place on your property.

1. The Ultimate Workshop
Whether you’re into woodworking, metalworking, or weekend DIY projects, a portable garage makes the perfect workshop. With plenty of square footage and the option to add built-in shelves, a workbench, and overhead storage, it’s easy to keep tools organized and your projects in motion.
🛠 Pro Tip: Add windows for natural light and install wall-mounted tool storage to save space.
2. A Home Gym You’ll Actually Use

No more excuses — create your own dedicated fitness space just steps from your back door. Our garages are large enough to accommodate weight racks, cardio equipment, yoga mats, and more.
💪 Bonus: With insulation and ventilation options, you can use your gym year-round.
3. Side Hustle HQ
Running a small business or online shop? A garage can become your ideal workspace or inventory storage hub. From candle making and leatherwork to ecommerce fulfillment, it’s the perfect blank canvas for creative and business-minded entrepreneurs.
📦 Think: shelving for supplies, Wi-Fi extenders, and even a mini shipping station.
4. Outdoor Equipment Central
If your lawn tools, power equipment, or recreational gear are scattered across your yard (or overtaking your main garage), it might be time for a dedicated spot. Store your riding mower, leaf blower, ATV, fishing rods, and more in one secure, easy-access location.
🚜 Stor-Mor’s garages feature double doors, making it easy to get larger items in and out.
5. A Relaxing Retreat Space
Who says a garage can’t be beautiful? With the right finishes and furnishings, it can double as a she-shed, man cave, or weekend escape. Add a comfy chair, mini fridge, and your favorite books or hobbies for an instant hideaway.
