A gauge is a standard measuring unit that defines the thickness of a metal sheet or steel tubing. Every steel building manufacturer uses it as a common term to describe the quality of the metal thickness. Tubing thickness options are available in either 12-gauge or 14-gauge galvanized steel.

We have four different types of anchors. They are:

  • Auger Anchors or Mobile Home Anchors
  • Concrete Anchors
  • Rebar Anchors*
  • Asphalt Anchors

Our manufacturers offer various strength components to ensure you have the strongest structure available. Our custom metal buildings can be upgraded to 12GA tubing, extra bracing, additional anchors, and vertical roof option.

Professional engineers design certified metal buildings to withstand certain weather conditions like snow loads, heavy rain, hail, or wind. Local/regional authorities, for safety purposes, define building standards, and all buildings need to pass these measures to get installed. You should be aware of your county's requirements and purchase a structure that meets your area's wind and snow load requirements.

A permit is official permission before installing a prefab metal building in your area, provided by the authorizing legislation of your county. It is essential to check before you install any structure on your property. Please check with your nearest legislation if your county needs to give you a permit. Most areas do not require building permits, but it is beneficial for customers to purchase a certified steel building for long-term performance.

Our product sizes are mentioned by, Width x Length x Height. If you see a product title as 12' x 21' x 9' regular roof carport, the building is 12 feet wide, 21 feet long, and 9 feet side height. Different roof styles and the main product category are added to the title.

No, dealers sell on behalf of manufacturers. Dealers and Manufacturers work hand in hand to complete each order successfully. The buildings we sell are produced by eminent manufacturers and use top-quality materials.

We use high-quality American-made steel, which is galvanized to provide hurricane-resistant buildings. For our steel buildings, we offer two Gauge options – Tubular Steel Frame:

  • 14 Gauge – 2 ½" x 2 ½" steel tubing
  • 12 Gauge – 2 ¼" x 2 ¼" steel tubing – Robust and Durable than the 14 gauge – 20 years limited warranty on rust through of frame assuming normal user care/maintenance

Vertical Style roof carports are considered as best for areas with extreme weather conditions. You can check vertical carports products range at Carports Advisor offered by many manufacturers.

Yes, it is advisable to measure the size of your area before placing the order as you will need enough space to accommodate your metal structure, plus it will help us to understand your requirements. Order without measurement may result in a bigger or a smaller carport/building for your place.

Remove anything out of the way that would delay the progress of the installation.

For proper building installation, your site should be level.

There are only 1% of orders that take more than 100 days to reach the consumers. It rarely happens. But, customers must know that estimated delivery time frames are not guaranteed. There are lots of factors like that affecting the delivery time like demand, supply, design aspects, material availability, customizations, transportation, and others.

Our metal building executives work closely with each customer to communicate which stage of the construction process we’re in, and when they can expect their metal building delivery.

Highly trained and professional installers will install all carports and metal buildings without any installation cost. These installers are associated with the manufacturing company and are well trained to perform the building installation and handling.

Once the building is purchased, it takes approx four weeks to install your building. But in the case of custom buildings, the production time can extend up to six weeks. The manufacturers will communicate with you after purchase to check if your installation site is ready or not. Once you are ready, the building will install in the time shared with you. Overall we assured you the shortest lead time for your building.

There are no delivery charges to any area; it's free. But yes, there are different building prices for a separate area, it's because of various pricing factors. So, check your metal building prices for your area with our metal building consultant before making a purchase.

Most small size buildings can be installed in a few hours. Larger structures may take a half of a day or the better part of a day to be installed. Most of the metal garages take one day to install. The larger sizes of metal garages may take up to 2 days to install.

The time interval of placing an order and product delivery & installation is called lead times. The most common factors affecting the lead times are Building Design, Industry Demands, Fabrication Process, Shipping Operations, and Erection Aspects.

Firstly, installation time depends on the building design and size, and you can’t do anything about it. However, you can save substantial time by completing the site preparation, and permit work before time to ensure seamless erection. Furthermore, choose the light weather months for installation to avoid any halts due to adverse weather.
