Go Portable to Save on These Big-Ticket Household Items

Are you debating whether to go portable or permanent on your next big household purchase? If you hate the hassle of a complicated setup and hiring additional help and are looking for a bargain without compromising quality, the choice is clear: Buy the portable version. Check out these portable luxury goods that not only meet your taste in quality, but also preserve your pocketbook:

Garages

Like most families, you are always hunting for storage space in your home. There never seems to be enough cabinets, closets or cupboards to accommodate your stuff. Sometimes it isn’t cost-effective to build a more permanent structure to house your things. These structures cost money to maintain and may not always offer convenience once your wants and needs change. Don’t fret — portable garages will minimize the hassle and provide ample room for all of your goods.

There are several advantages of portable garages. They’re available in multiple sizes so you don’t need to worry if you are going too big or small. Customize the shape and size you want to fulfill your needs. Another bonus: you are able to place your portable garage anywhere on your property. Keep it on the side of your house, in the backyard or off-location at your parent’s home. Count on flexibility – move, replace or tear down your portable garage anytime you want. Portable garages also cost less to buy and maintain over their permanent counterparts.

Spas

Want to soak away tension and muscle aches? Consider a portable spa. No need to mess with construction equipment and a mess in your backyard. Install an Intex PureSpa from PoolCenter and enjoy some hydrotherapy the same day. With 120 bubble jets, users will appreciate the insulated cover and floor mat as well as the easy maintenance. No pool person needed; just refill the filter cartridges yourself and monitor chemical levels with test strips. Permanent spas aren’t easy to set up or to transport, and if you want to rearrange your backyard, it will cost a substantial amount of money to move a fixed spa. Portability offers all the benefits of a permanent spa without the hassle of a complicated setup and maintenance.

Fireplaces

Looking for warmth on a cold winter day? You love the idea of setting up a fireplace in your backyard so the family is able to enjoy hot chocolate and s’mores and still keep warm. The idea of spending tons of money on a permanent fireplace seems too extravagant, but this doesn’t mean you have to give up on the idea. A portable fire pit is a happy medium. You are able to set this up anywhere in your backyard and forego the installation trouble. Try any of these highlighted in Popular Mechanics.

Air-Conditioning

Do you want to cool an extra room, but don’t want to pay a ton of money extending the reach of your air conditioner? Install a portable air-conditioning unit to save you the hassle of a permanent window unit. Portable units are easy to install and are readily moved from room to room. You don’t need to clear it with the local homeowner’s association or worry about ugly wires protruding on your window with a portable unit.
