Metal carports are ideal for protecting vehicles, RVs, and boats from sun, snow, rain, hail, and heat. Metal carports are an affordable option compared to other construction types.
Metal Carports An Investment and a Protective Shelter
Carports can be used for a variety of purposes. Metal carports are perfect for residential and commercial applications and can be customized to meet your requirements. Carports are most commonly used as a protective shelter for vehicles, and they add curb appeal and increase the value of your property. There are questions to ask before purchasing a metal carport.
Where Can the Carport be Located?
A carport functions better when installed on a flat surface. It is essential to ensure the carport site is prepared before installation to determine whether there is adequate clearance to accommodate the carport size. The carport should be located at a safe distance from power lines and in accordance with local building codes.
What is the Primary Purpose of a Carport?
It is essential to determine the primary purpose of the carport. If you require a carport for one car, then a single-car carport will be sufficient. A double or triple-car carport may be necessary if you have multiple vehicles. A taller and broader structure is needed if the carport is used for an RV. Metal carport kits are fabricated for specific space needs. Before purchasing carports for sale, it is crucial to determine the amount of space, size, and specifications.
Do Metal Structures Require Additional Support?
Metal carports feature no trusses or beams and have minimal support requirements. Depending on your needs and local building codes, the carport can be installed directly on the ground or on concrete. If the carport is installed on the ground, ensure the area is level and has good drainage. If you have questions about the installation process, our experts will help.
Does Local Building Code Require Structure Design Certification?
Every community has building code requirements. When purchasing a carport, the local building department may require approval of your design plan.
At Choice Metal Buildings, we offer a wide variety of carports. We can customize a steel garage or a carport to meet your specific needs and requirements and local building code requirements.
