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.

Customization is the key to success when it comes to metal buildings. With many ideas and designs to choose from, we let our customer decide and create their own.

Whether your surface is gravel, regular ground, or concrete, we advise a level site for a firm, steady building. Our installers may not install your building if it can’t be anchored to the ground—they won’t leave you with an insecure installation.

We urge you to consider purchasing our anchors. When you purchase all the anchors needed to secure your building, you get a warranty covering dislocation from wind of up to 90-mph! You don’t have to purchase our anchors and get this warranty, but consider the risks.

Whether you choose a metal garage or a simple carport, you should strongly consider our anchors to avoid disastrous situations. With our anchors, your garage will stand strong against extreme weather.

Speaking of garages, take a look at this 24’W x 41’L x 9’H:

  •  A-Frame Horizontal Roof
  •  2 – 10 x 8 Roll-Up Door
  •  36″ x 80″ Walk-In Door
  • Window

[layerslider id=”51″]

Our A-Frame Horizontal roof gives our metal garages a unique residential style. The roof might look simple, but it’s strong enough to last for many years. Our buildings are designed to exceed your needs and comply with state codes. If you’re not sure what kind of building is ideal for you, don’t hesitate to call us. Our sales reps are happy to assist you with any questions or concerns.

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Additional Extensions to Your Metal Storage Building

Lean-tos are very handy when it comes to additions. They don’t just offer protection—they can also serve as extra space or a small carport for your vehicle! Most of our customers prefer a 3-foot or larger drop on their lean-tos, but remember that it’s your choice how to enhance your metal building!

Types of Lean-Tos:

We offer two different styles when it comes to lean-tos. The first one is the regular drop lean-to. As explained earlier, this lean-to has a gap from the original height, coming down to whichever height you prefer. The second style is a continuous lean-to, which means that there’s no gap in between the first height from the second one.

What Makes Carport Kingdom Different?

Unlike other companies, we provide the right number of trusses in order to protect our metal buildings from the environment. However, we also recommend that you acquire our concrete, mobile home, or asphalt anchors in order to avoid disastrous situations. Another of our features is that we count with a variety of sizes when it comes to roll-up and overhead doors.

Here is a great example of a metal building with a continuous lean-to.
