If you have lived in North Texas long you know we have our fair share of storms, often carrying hail. If you have not lived here long, Welcome, and get ready! In order to protect your vehicles from hail you need to be proactive and know ahead of time what your options are. Then, when the storm is approaching, you have a plan and can implement it.
Garage
The most obvious place to park your vehicle to protect it from hail is in your own garage or covered driveway. It is close by so you can keep an eye on it from the safety of your own home. However, this is not an option for everyone. You may not have a garage, or the space in your garage is already occupied and cannot accommodate your vehicle.
Covered Public Parking
While you are driving around going about your everyday life, keep an eye out for covered local parking. When a storm is fast approaching and you don’t have a garage at home that will work, you will know exactly where to take your vehicle. Consider shopping center or mall parking garages. However, if you do not have time to located covered parking look for an overpass or gas station canopy instead.
Large Buildings
If you know which direction the storm is approaching from, park your vehicle on the opposite side of the building. For example, if the storm is approaching from the north, park on the south side. This may not shield your vehicle completely, but you are using the coverage of the large building to hopefully keep your vehicle safe from the worst part of the storm. If the wind is strong enough, the building may completely shield your vehicle from damage.
Blankets
As a last resort, locate as many blankets as you can. Cover your vehicle with them and use duct tape to secure them in place. Be careful not to put the tape directly on your vehicle. Duct tape could leave behind tape reside in unwanted places, damaging the aesthetics of your vehicle. An alternative to a blanket could be purchasing and utilizing a car cover.
