From two-car carports in Largo to boat covers in Palm Harbor and RV covers in Pinellas Park, these are the buildings Pinellas County owners ask for most.
Above all, shade and storm protection for cars, trucks and golf carts.
For example, extra length for bay boats and center consoles along the Gulf and Tampa Bay.
Plus compact covers that fit small Pinellas lots and setbacks.
