materials are used to
make the structures? |
A:
The majority of
components utilized in
our frames are made of 2
1/4" by 2 1/4"
galvanized steel tubing
for 12 gauge buildings
and 2 1/2" by 2 1/2" x 2
1/2" for 14 gauge
buildings.
The roofing is painted
29 gauge steel panels.

Q:
What methods are used to
anchor the carports and
garages? |
|
A:
There
are three anchoring
types. If the
structure were to be
mounted to a concrete
pad or footing, then
traditional concrete
wedge anchors would be
used.
We
offer a 30 inch rebar
anchor that is intended
for use when a structure
is mounted directly to
dirt or gravel surface.
On our certified
buildings, a helical
mobile home anchor is
used. On non-certified
structures, these can be
purchased as an optional
item. |
| |
|
Q:
How does it take from
the time I place my
order until the time the
building is installed? |
|
A:
The majority of our
installations are
completed in two weeks
or less! |
| |
|
Q:
What are the tallest
legs that can be
ordered? |
|
A:
The tallest legs that
can be ordered are 12
feet. Anything taller
than 12 feet can be
ordered by special
approval only. Our
installation
professionals are
equipped with the tools
to handle installations
of up to 12 feet. |
| |
|
Q:
What preparation should
be completed before my
building is installed? |
|
A:
Insure that the site
designated for product
installation is a flat
and square surface.
In order to provide you
with affordable
products, with quick
installation, site
preparation, as well as
building permits, are
the responsibility of
the customer. The
customer is responsible
for any local permits,
covenant searches,
rights of way, set-back
restrictions, etc. |
| |
|
Q:
Why should I consider a
vertical roof versus a
horizontal roof? |
|
A: The
ridges of the steel
panels in a horizontal
roof run parallel to the
sides and ridge of the
carport or garage.
Water, snow, etc., will
drain to the front and
back of the building,
towards the door
openings. If the
building is perfectly
level, water will ten to
pond on a horizontally
installed roof. On a
vertical roof, the
ridges of the steel
panels run from the top
of the carport or garage
to the sides. This roof
configuration displaces
water, snow, etc., much
more efficiently and
water will not pond on
the roof. Water will
also drain away from the
door openings (unless
the doors are installed
on the sides of the
carports or garages). |

|
Q:
What are the on center
spacing of the frame
legs/bows? |
|
A:
As a general rule, the
spacing of the frame
legs/bows are 4 feet or
5 feet on center. |
| |
|
Q:
What is the height in
the center of the
building if I order a
certain height leg? |
A:
The chart below will
allow you to calculate
this measurement. For
example, if the
carport/garage is a
Standard Style Double
unit, 20 feet wide with
7 feet legs, add 3' 0"
to the 7 feet leg height
for a total height of
10'.
