Enjoy winter again with a shelter designed specifically for your property.
A winter shelter is a temporary structure designed to protect vehicles, entrances, walkways and other outdoor areas from snow, wind, ice and winter weather.
At Auvents Polo, every residential winter shelter is custom-made according to the dimensions of your property and its intended use. Our team designs car shelters, stairway shelters, entrance enclosures, walkway shelters, carports and specialized solutions for unique projects.
Our experts assess your needs and recommend a durable configuration adapted to your property and made with high-quality materials.
Our winter shelters are built with welded or extruded galvanized-steel structures, depending on the project requirements. They are covered with polyethylene fabric treated to resist ultraviolet rays.
Our fabric is thicker than many competing products, which helps improve its durability. Both the fabric and the structure are covered by a two-year warranty.
Whether your shelter is installed seasonally or designed for a more specialized application, it is made to provide reliable protection for many winters.
Auvents Polo strongly recommends permanent anchors, as they provide greater security than concrete blocks during strong winds. Montréal and several other municipalities now require secure anchoring methods because less stable solutions may not offer sufficient resistance.
Before installing a winter shelter, check the applicable bylaws with your municipality. An Auvents Polo specialist can also guide you through the main considerations related to your project.
Spend less time shovelling and enjoy winter with greater peace of mind. Temporary winter shelters are especially useful during Québec’s cold and snowy months.
A shelter for a porch or gallery can be combined with a stairway shelter to protect frequently used access points from snow and ice.
These solutions are particularly helpful for seniors, families and people with reduced mobility. By limiting snow and ice accumulation in high-traffic areas, they make daily movement easier and help improve safety around the property.
Every residential winter shelter designed by Auvents Polo serves a specific purpose. It may protect a vehicle, cover a stairway, secure a walkway or create a continuous protected route between the home and the parking area.
Our local craftspeople adapt each project to the dimensions of the property, the client’s circulation needs, and the demands of Québec winters.
Tired or sore from shovelling? Equip yourself with a temporary car shelter to protect your vehicles from severe winter weather. Single or double, made to measure and entirely customizable, Auvents Polo’s winter shelters are made to last.
Each shelter is designed according to the dimensions of your driveway, the number of vehicles to protect, and the layout of your property. Doors, windows and other practical accessories can also be added to create a residential winter shelter tailored to your needs.
Useful for protecting pedestrian areas of any width, such as walkways, stairs, balconies and other frequently used outdoor spaces, our walkway shelters are custom-made to your needs and can be connected to any other shelter.
A walkway shelter helps limit snow and ice accumulation along the routes you use most often during winter. It can also create a continuous protected passage between your home, entrance and vehicle.
With one side attached to a building, carport shelters allow you to direct snow away from selected areas or protect a passageway running along a building. Like all Polo winter shelters, they can be connected to any other winter shelter.
Every carport shelter is made to measure according to the available space, the required clearance and the configuration of the property. It may be used to protect a pedestrian access point, a driveway or an area alongside the home.
As it is essential to ensure the safety of people with reduced mobility, accessible winter shelters are designed to cover exterior elevators, wheelchair access ramps or any other surface or installation. Our shelters are custom-made to provide reliable protection against snow, ice and winter weather while preserving safe access to the property.
The dimensions and layout are adapted to the specific installation, the available space and the user’s mobility requirements.
Useful for protecting vehicles, equipment, a workspace or another outdoor area, our oversized shelters are custom-made to the dimensions of your project.
These personalized structures are ideal for projects that require uncommon dimensions, additional clearance or a configuration that cannot be covered by a pre-established design. Our experts assess the site and intended use before developing a durable solution.
