FAQS
Ordering metal carports and steel garages is simple! Just fill out the form on this page, or design a building using our 3D builder and we’ll guide you through selecting the right metal building for your needs.
Our steel carports and metal garages are built from high-quality materials, including 2 1/4″ by 2 1/4″ galvanized steel tubing for 12 gauge buildings, and 2 1/2″ by 2 1/2″ for 14 gauge structures. Siding options include 29-gauge and 26-gauge galvanized steel panels in a variety of color options.
A vertical roof carport features steel panels running from the top of the garage to the sides, displacing water and snow load more efficiently. In contrast, a horizontal roof style might lead to water ponding and is more prone to water leaks. Choosing a vertical roof carport ensures that water and snow drain away from the building without accumulation.
Lead times vary by area and seasonality and could range from as low as one week up to eight weeks, depending on multiple factors. Our multiple manufacturing locations across the United States enable us to provide expedited delivery times, ensuring you receive your custom metal building as promptly as possible.
What is the difference between structural steel and pre-engineered steel buildings?
Structural steel buildings are traditional metal structures constructed from individually designed rolled steel sections. These are fabricated on-site using welding and cutting. Whereas pre-engineered steel buildings are designed and fabricated in a factory based on the requirements and then assembled at the site, offering a quicker and often more cost-effective solution.
To prepare for the installation of your metal carport or garage, you’ll need to:
Contact your municipality to see if you need a permit.
Contact your utility company to mark any utility lines
Contact a local concrete or grading company to grade or pour the cement slab, considering two vital factors: local code requirements for frost depth, and minimum manufacturer cement pad dimensions. 6" over your frame dimensions in usually recommended for cement anchors.
Ensure your site is level, with appropriate leg height considerations. (power lines?)
Clear the area of debris, cars, etc.
Following these detailed steps, you ensure a seamless installation process for your steel garages and metal carports, perfectly suited to your local environment and structural requirements.
