Imagine you’re a snowbird, migrating to a warmer climate during the winter months, looking forward to enjoying your home away from home. You want your winter residence to feel secure, adaptable, and comfortable, allowing you to make the most of your seasonal stay.
We’ve talked to many of our snowbird customers, and one common problem they face is keeping their homes safe while they’re away for weeks, months, or even years. They also struggle with issues when they’re at home, like too much sunlight making it too hot, sandstorms bringing in dust and sand, not enough protection for windows and doors, and a lack of privacy.
At Roll-A-Shield, we understand that these challenges are more than just annoying – they’re real problems that affect how comfortable people feel. That’s why we reached out to Robert G., a snowbird who wanted an easy way to secure his carport while turning it into a nice patio.
Who is Robert?
Robert G. is a snowbird who moves to Arizona for the winter to escape the cold weather. For the past four years, Robert has been a loyal customer of Roll-A-Shield, and this choice has made a big difference.
Robert lives in a park model in a trailer park community in Tempe, Arizona. His home is a place he stays during the winter months. However, Robert had a specific problem with his carport. He wanted an easy way to close off this part of his house for security but also be able to open it up like a patio when he wanted to be outside. For Robert, the carportwas more than just a place to park his car—it was a way to make his living space bigger and enjoy his winter stay to the fullest.
The Challenge
Before Robert discovered Roll-A-Shield’s rolling shutters, he had a specific problem with his carport area at his winter home in Arizona. As a snowbird who only stays there during the winter, Robert needed a way to close off his carport when necessary but still be able to open it up like a patio. He wanted things to be easy and convenient while also keeping his home safe.
Before finding Roll-A-Shield’s rolling shutters, Robert tried different solutions to fix the problem with his carport. He went to home shows and looked at different products and ideas there, hoping to find a way to turn his carport into a patio during the winter.
During his search, Robert saw different carport enclosures and patio covers. But none of them gave him the easy transition and flexibility he wanted. Many were too complicated, didn’t have the security features he needed, or couldn’t open and close smoothly.
The Solution

Exploring Solutions: Robert explored various solutions to find a way to seal off his carport while still maintaining convenience and flexibility. One way he made that happen was by attending home shows, where he hoped to find practical and effective ideas to transform his carport area into a functional patio space during the winter months.
Encountering Different Options: During his visit to the home shows, Robert saw different types of carport enclosures and patio covers.
