The Benefits of Carports vs. Standard Garages

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Carports are universally useful and very well-known structures that can be used for numerous different storage purposes. People use such structures for work, hobby shops, safe vehicle storage, motorcycles, and so much more.

This is one of the best things about carports, you can easily, quickly, and efficiently store anything of value. On top of all that, carports are very affordable so many people find them to be the most cost-efficient solution for storage.

Just like carports, garages are customizable and better for safekeeping of property or anything of value. Garages are a bit different, and although they may seem more useful depending on the situation, the cost is much greater than carports.

The biggest difference is that a garage is a bit stronger and safer, especially when it comes to aggressive winds, flying debris, and theft. Other than that, carports are still your number one option.

The Benefits of Carports

Benefits-of-Carports

Carports are mostly associated with apartment complexes or condominiums and they mostly provide a covered parking spot for residents.

The reason why so many people go with carports is simply that they’re cheaper, easy to build, come with most homes and provide more opportunities than a garage.

The main benefits of carports are:

  • They’re inexpensive
  • Carports are almost always a preferable option over garages
  • There are more options with a carport than with a garage
  • Many homes already have carports
  • Easy to build and customize
  • Easy maintenance
  • Multiple purposes
  • People who have crowded garages could use a carport to keep their vehicles safe

Carports vs. Garages

So, the question remains: which one is better? Well, carports do have one more purpose, which gives them a significant advantage over garages.

You can use carports to keep yourself comfortable, especially during the summer. With proper roofing, carports are perfect for all sorts of events, gatherings, meetings, and even music rehearsals.

Garages are much better at protecting your vehicles, as they can be locked, but carports are customizable and can be turned into closed space structures in no time. So, it’s all about personal taste and your main goal.

In the end, carports offer much more comfort while being a cost-efficient solution to adding some extra storage place in your backyard.

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

Need a metal barn? Want some extra protection for your livestock or farm equipment? Let Carport Kingdom help you get started with a metal structure that will meet your needs and, more importantly, stand strong against the unpredictable weather.

Ag barns are definitely one of a kind—they look pretty nice as well as offering protection. Keep in mind that this unit doesn’t necessarily have to be used as a barn: we have customers who really love this kind of structure and will transform it into a garage for their vehicles or even a storage room.

Whether it’s used as a barn or a garage, we will certify the unit for you to withstand inclement weather. Please note that it’s important to verify with your local building department that your metal barn complies with your area’s regulations.

Take a look at this 36’W x 21’L x 12’H ag barn installed in Edgewood, New Mexico:

  • 12’W x 21’L x 12’H (center unit)
  • A-Frame Vertical Roof

Get Yourself a Metal Barn

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

Are all of your belongings stored and protected?

It’s simple to say that fall and winter is still a long way from now, which is true – but by the time winter hits us, we’ve got to be ready for it. Especially knowing how unstable the weather can be; we’ll never until we start to feel the cold.

We recommend that our customers check with their local building departments if their metal buildings meet the local codes before purchasing any of our units. Local codes from Texas may differ from those in any other state, especially if the building is going to be put up in an urban area.

One of the most popular buildings this year has been the ag barn. This barn can be used for many purposes. The most common one, of course, is as a barn, keeping livestock safe from the rain and intense heat. Some customers opt to enclose part of the lean-tos to store animal feed or farm equipment. On the other hand, there are customers who just love the design and prefer to use it as a garage for their vehicles. If you have land and space available, that would be a very interesting project.

Take a look at this metal barn installed near Chiloquin, OR:

  • 20’W x 41’L x 12’H (main unit)
  • A-Frame Vertical Roof
  • Horizontal Siding
  • 10×10 Roll-Up Door (front end)
  • 36″x80″ Walk-In Door (front end)
  • 2 – 30″x30″ Windows
  • 2 – 10’W x 41’L x 10’/8’H Lean-Tos
  • A-Frame Vertical Roof
  • Horizontal Sides
  • 2 – 9×7 Roll-Up Doors (one on each lean-to)
  • Mobile Home Anchors

[layerslider id=”58″]

One of the main advantages of this barn is its vertical roof; since Oregon is a state with constant snow, the panels running from the peak toward the eaves allow snow to slide off without the need for constant maintenance, like other types of roofs.

Should you always go for a vertical roof?

Not necessarily. Although vertical roofs are the best choice when it comes to maintenance, if you live in an area that rarely gets snow, it’s not necessary. However, it’s highly recommended to get a vertical roof if your carport exceeds 30’ in length in order to avoid leaks in the future.

You can customize your metal building! Give us a call, and we will help you build the metal barn of your dreams. Remember that we also offer financing options if you need a little help purchasing your metal barn. Ask your representative about it.

Fully Vertical, Fully Insulated

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

Our metal buildings offer great protection when it comes to inclement weather. The versatility of steel allows us to transform and shape your building according to your desired specifications and needs.

Despite the versatility of our buildings, however, one other option that we offer is insulation. Insulation can be a little pricey—but, in the end, it’s your belongings that are getting protected from the harsh weather conditions. Please be aware that insulation can only be installed on vertical metal buildings. That means that if you need your building to be fully insulated, the whole building must be vertical (siding).

Take a look at this 24’W x 36’L x 9’H metal building that’s fully insulated:

  • Fully Vertical
  • Fully Insulated
  • Three 9’x7′ Roll-Up Doors (two on the front end, and one on the side)
  • 36″ x 84″ Heavy Duty Door (on the side)
  • Concrete Anchors
  • Welded “L” Brackets

[layerslider id=”42″]

*Interior designs may vary by state or region. The above design is effective for only a 30 PSF (ground snow load) and may require additional trusses to meet local codes. Additionally, lateral support might be required based on wind loads.

This beauty was installed in Williams, AZ. Since the slab is the same size as the metal building, we needed to include an “L” bracket to anchor the building without chipping the edge of the slab. Those come with an additional price.

There are endless ways to customize your metal building. If you have a sketch of what you’re picturing, our experts will work around the measurements and features in order to meet your needs. And with 12 different colors to choose from, you can add your own personal touch at no additional charge.

Need Additional Protection for Your RV?

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

There are many different ways for you to protect your RV with a steel metal building. If your RV overpasses the 12’ height advertised in our standard flyers, that’s not a challenge for Carport Kingdom. We know that RVs come in many sizes, designs, and styles; some of them can be very tall or very long. One of our customers’ main concerns is when they don’t see their desired dimensions in our flyers, they assume that we can’t go taller than 12’.

However, there are other ways for our customers to get taller buildings, even when they’re only paying for 12’ ones. Remember that concrete can be shifted and built in any way you want; most of the time, our customers opt for a foundation wall. A foundation wall will provide support for the metal structure and the whole structure that you are building. This method needs to be planned and constructed carefully, as foundation walls are probably the most important part of the structures. Please be aware that Carport Kingdom does not offer any type of concrete work.

Take a look at this 18’W x 41’L x 12’H Vertical RV cover:

 

[layerslider id=”41″]

 

*Concrete foundations must meet certain requirements for the building to covered by the warranty.
