Steel GARAGES
Roofing Styles
When ordering custom metal carports and garages , one major thing to consider is the roof style. We offer three roofing styles to best meet your needs:
- Standard Roof. Our standard roof style is the most economical option. This style will give you the traditional carport style roof with curved sides.
- A-Frame (Horizontal). If you are looking for a residential-style, our A-frame roof style is a great choice for you. Our A-frame horizontal roof features a panel running from end to end.
- A-Frame (Vertical). We highly recommend that you upgrade to an A-frame vertical roof for units larger than 30 feet in length. Our sheet panels are 30 feet in length. With our A-frame vertical roof, however, our panels run from the peak of the structure toward the eaves, plus it is reinforced with channels. This roof style is ideal for places with snow loads. With vertical panels, snow and debris can slide off the roof easily without the constant need for maintenance.
Multi-Vehicle Options
We can create your metal garage in a size to best suit your needs—whether you need a single-car garage, two-car garage, or even a four or more car garage. No matter how many vehicles you own, we can create a reliable structure to keep them covered and protected from the elements.
Side Entries Possible
We can even to place garage doors on the long side.
It is also less expensive to increase the length of the unit than the width.
Metal BARNS
Metal vs. Wooden Barns
Traditional barns are typically constructed from wood. However, if you’re looking to maintain the classic aesthetic of a red barn while benefiting from modern materials, consider upgrading to a metal barn.
Some advantages of opting for a metal barn over a wooden one include:
- Cost-Effective. Metal barns are generally less expensive than traditional wooden barns, resulting in savings on both materials and labor.
- Customizable. One significant benefit of steel barns is their easy customization, allowing you to tailor the building to suit your specific needs.
- Lower Maintenance. With a metal structure, you’ll save both time and money, as they require less regular upkeep.
- Durability. Our metal barns are designed to endure, resisting rot, decay, and insect issues commonly associated with wooden barns.
Add a Lean-To
An additional advantage of steel barns is the opportunity to create extra space with a lean-to or awning. Lean-tos are single-slope metal structures that can be seamlessly attached to the main building, providing that quintessential barn appearance. Some added benefits of incorporating a lean-to include:
- Additional Storage. A lean-to effectively extends your storage capacity.
- Open or Enclosed Options. You have the flexibility to fully or partially enclose each lean-to or keep it open with just the roof.
- Customization Features. You can also include roll-up doors and windows in the lean-tos, enhancing functionality when enclosed.
Steel RV COVERS
Sizing Information
Recreational vehicles (RVs) are available in varying sizes and can feature different exterior accessories that may impact their actual dimensions. Therefore, it is crucial to obtain accurate measurements of your RV to determine the appropriate size required for your RV carport.
- One of the most common sizes customers order for steel RV covers is 12 feet wide by 12 feet tall.
- Custom Sizing. Some RVs are taller than 12 feet in height. We can create a custom RV carport for you, up to 20 feet tall. Leg heights 13' and above require a telescoping forklift on-site to aid in assembly.

14-Gauge vs. 12-Gauge
Durable Steel Carports, Garages, and Barns
All of our steel carports, garages, and barns are delivered and installed using 100% galvanized steel, which is highly resistant to pests and rust.
We offer steel framing in two options: 14-Gauge and 12-Gauge.
What Is Steel Gauge?
Steel gauge refers to the thickness of a metal sheet. As the gauge number increases, the thickness of the steel decreases; in other words, thickness is inversely related to gauge numbers.
Steel gauges are calculated based on a weight of 41.82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness. For metal buildings, manufacturers typically provide 12-gauge and 14-gauge options, where 12-gauge is thicker than 14-gauge. Specifically, 12-gauge steel sheets measure 0.1084 inches thick, while 14-gauge metal sheets measure 0.0785 inches thick.
The 14-gauge tubular frame consists of 2 ½” x 2 ½” steel tubing, whereas the 12-gauge features - 2 ¼” x 2 ¼” steel tubing. Both gauge options (12-Gauge and 14-Gauge) are safe for use in metal carports, RV covers, garages, barns, and custom metal garages.
Difference Between Regular Steel and Galvanized Steel
Galvanized steel is essentially regular steel that has been coated with zinc to prevent rust and corrosion. Our metal buildings are designed for durability, making it crucial to ensure the steel can withstand rust, corrosion, and decay.
Regular steel is prone to rust, which compromises the structure's longevity and necessitates frequent painting to prolong its life.
Which Steel Gauge Framing Is Right For You?
12-gauge steel is superior to 14-gauge steel. However, be aware that choosing 12-gauge steel framing for your garage will incur an additional cost based on your location and building dimensions.
When compared to 14-gauge steel framing, 12-gauge offers several advantages:
- 30% thicker and more robust
- 20-year rust warranty
- Highly recommended for areas with heavy snowfall
Therefore, if you're seeking a more durable and certified steel garage that can endure harsh weather conditions—such as storms, heavy snowfall, rainfall, and high winds opting for tthe upgraded option 12-gauge steel is the right choice.
