GARAGES
Roofing Styles
When ordering your custom garage, 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 garage style with curved sides. (shown in picture to right)
- 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 only 30 feet in length, so the panels will be overlapping, which may cause the roof to have leaks in the future. 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.
BARNS
Metal vs Wooden Barns
Traditional barns are made of wood. To keep the same traditional look of a red barn while taking advantage of more modern materials, you can upgrade your wooden barn to a metal barn instead.
Some of the benefits of choosing a metal barn building over a wooden barn:
- Cost. A metal barn is less expensive than a traditional wooden barn. There are savings in material cost and labor to build.
- Customizable. One key advantage of steel barns is the ease of customization of your building to meet your personal needs.
- Less Maintenance. Save money and time with a metal structure, with less need for regular maintenance.
- Built to Last. Our metal barns are built to last. They are not prone to rot, decay and insect problems like some traditional wooden barns.
Add a Lean-To
One advantage when it comes to steel barns is the ability to create additional space with a lean-to or awning. Lean-tos are single slope metal structures that can be easily attached to the main structure, giving it the typical barn look. Some extra benefits of adding a lean-to to your barn are:
- Extra space. One of the advantages of a lean-to is the extension of storage spacing.
- Open or enclosed. You can fully or partially enclose each lean-to or simply keep it open with only the roof.
- You can also add roll-up doors and windows to the lean-tos. If enclosed, you can add as many features as you desire.
RV COVERS
Sizing Information
RVs can have different sizes and different exterior accessories that can alter some of the actual dimensions. It is important to have the exact measurements of your RV to determine the correct size for your RV carport.
- One of the most common sizes customers order for steel RV covers is 12 feet wide by 12 feet tall.

14-Gauge vs. 12-Gauge
All or our steel carport, garages and barns are delivered and installed with 100% galvanized steel resistant to pests and rust.
We offer steel framing in both 14-Gauge and 12-Gauge options.
What Is A Steel Gauge?
Steel Gauge is the thickness of a metal sheet. With an increase in gauge number, steel thickness decreases. In short, the thickness is inversely related to gauge numbers.
Gauges for steel are based on a weight of 41.82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness. For metal buildings, manufacturers provide 12-gauge and 14-gauge options. 12-gauge is thicker than 14-gauge. 12-gauge steel sheets have a thickness of 0.1084 inches, a 14 gauge metal sheet is 0.0785 inches thick. The 14-gauge tubular frame has 2 ½” x 2 ½” steel tubing, whereas 12 gauge – 2 ¼” x 2 ¼” steel tubing. Remember, both gauges (12-Gauge and 14-Gauge) are both safe for metal carports, RV covers, garages barns, and custom metal garages.
Difference Between Regular Steel And Galvanized Steel
Galvanized steel is regular steel that is applied with zinc coating to resist rust and corrosion. Our metal workshops are built to last long, it’s essential to ensure the steel is capable of confronting rust, corrosion, and decay.
Regular steel is susceptible to rust, which degrades building a life as well as requires frequent painting to extend its life.
Which Steel Gauge Framing Is Right For You?
12-gauge steel is better than 14-gauge steel. Remember, ordering a 12-gauge steel framing for your garage building will include an up-charge based on your area and building dimensions.
Compared to 14-gauge steel framing, 12-gauge has multiple traits that include:
- 12-Gauge is 30% thicker and more robust.
- 12-Gauge has a 20-year rust warranty.
- 12-Gauge is highly-recommended if you are in an area that gets heavy snowfall.
So, if you want a sturdier and certified steel garage that can sustain adverse weather conditions like storms, heavy snowfall, rainfall, and high winds, you should undoubtedly choose 12-gauge steel.
