Structural Integrity of Metal Carports
April 11, 2023Metal carports are renowned for their exceptional structural strength and durability. They provide a reliable space for parking vehicles of different types. But have you wondered what’s the reason behind this unmatched strength of a metal carport?
The first is the use of structural steel that is 100% galvanized to resist rust and corrosion. It provides exceptional durability in all weather conditions. The second is its dense, uniform material strength [25 times that of wood], which helps the carport stand firm during extreme weather events like rain, snow, and strong wind.
Corrugated steel panels can bear hail without causing punctures in the panels. Overall, steel carports have less wear & tear than conventional materials. Metal is also anti-fungal, i.e., it resists molds & mildew and is resistant to pests and fires. Moreover, most parts are made off-site in a factory, making the assembling process easy & quick. It also demands less labor.
You can add insulation to the roof of a metal carport to create a multi-functional space. Numerous customization options include metal car sheds that can be used for storage, a horse arena, an open garage, a greenhouse, a patio, and a refreshment area. Upkeep of a steel carport is easy. You can clean the carport once/ twice a year, apply weather roof coat/ paint, and regularly remove dirt & debris build-up on its roof to prolong its life.
