Boat & RV Shelter Builder in Hampton Roads

Boats, campers and RVs need more height, depth and working clearance than ordinary vehicles. B&B Decks and More builds custom boat and RV shelters across Hampton Roads, with each structure sized around the actual equipment, trailer, approach and coastal wind conditions.

Shelters Sized for the Equipment You Own

We begin with measured dimensions rather than generic labels. Towers, antennas, air-conditioning units, mirrors, slide-outs, hitches, tongue length and future replacement equipment can all affect the right footprint.

  • Open boat shelters for boats and trailers
  • RV and camper covers with appropriate height
  • Drive-through shelters where the property allows
  • Boat and RV shelters with enclosed storage
  • Combined vehicle shelter and work area
  • Lighting, electrical hookups and wash-down planning when included in scope

Planning the Project for Coastal Virginia

Large shelter roofs can experience substantial uplift during coastal storms. The foundation, posts, bracing, beams, connectors and roof system must work together. Salt air and runoff also affect hardware selection, drainage and long-term maintenance.

What We Review Before Construction

  • Overall equipment length, height and width with working clearance
  • Trailer tongue, tow vehicle and turning requirements
  • Slide-outs, access doors, ladders and maintenance space
  • Wind exposure, uplift connections and structural bracing
  • Power, lighting, hookups and wash-down requirements
  • Property access, setbacks, flood conditions and drainage

Our Build Process

  1. Property and use review. We discuss the purpose, desired size, access and location.
  2. Scope development. We define the foundation, framing, exterior, openings, utilities and finish level.
  3. Permitting and preparation. Applicable zoning, permit, engineering and HOA requirements are identified before construction.
  4. Construction and weather protection. The structure is built as a coordinated system rather than a collection of disconnected upgrades.
  5. Final walkthrough. We review the completed scope, operation and maintenance considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much clearance should an RV shelter have?

It should provide clearance above rooftop equipment and room around the sides for mirrors, doors, slide-outs and maintenance. We size from the actual RV and expected future needs.

Can you build a shelter for a boat with a T-top or tower?

Yes. We measure total transport height and include practical overhead clearance rather than relying only on hull length.

Can the shelter later become a garage?

Sometimes, but future enclosure should be planned from the beginning because foundation, bracing, walls, ventilation and code requirements may change.

Can you add electrical hookups?

Electrical service and RV connections can be coordinated when included in the permitted project scope.
