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 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: As
displayed on our carport and garage sections of the website, 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'.
