A-Frame Style Carport

In this video you can view a A-Frame Style carport. The roofing sheet metal runs hortizonally (not vertically) which means it runs from the front to the back. Notice that in the video. We also have carports that have vertical roofing, which means the sheet metal ridges run from the center peak to the side. Call for details, a quote and free brochure! 888-822-7767 Nationwide.

Green Your Carport, Garage Or Utility Building

Green Your Carport, Garage Or Utility Building

Going green is no longer a tagline for the trendsetters, it’s an accepted and expected way of life and it can easily be incorporated into building and outfitting your new metal carport, metal garage or metal utility building.

Simply by choosing a metal structure, you’ve already made a great green choice. Metal construction requires no harmful chemicals such as resin, adhesive, wood treatments or pesticides commonly used in traditional wood frame construction. Metal is highly resistant to water, mold and mildew which can emit harmful toxin into the air you and your family breathe. Metal and steel building elements also are 100% recyclable at the end of a structure’s usable life. And Carport Empire’s metal carports, metal garages and metal utility buildings are built to last – particularly if they’re certified, meaning that they’re engineered to withstand heavy snow loads and high wind speeds.

Metal carports, enclosed garages and steel utility buildings are easy to insulate, which can help conserve energy, further control moisture and resist pest invasions. Reflective insulation is made with aluminum foil, which is completely nontoxic. Foam board and spray foam insulation contains no HCFCs, VOCs or Formaldehyde and does not settle or give off gasses over time, as do some other sealant products. It completely seals your structure, keeping outdoor pollutants and allergens out, which makes for a healthier hangout space – an important consideration if your enclosed carport, garage or utility building will be used for a children’s playroom, workshop, office or the like.  

Lighting your open carport or the exterior of your enclosed garage or metal building can be achieved with solar light fixtures or compact fluorescent bulbs. Motion sensor lights help save energy and money because they’re only on when someone is in or near the structure. If your carport, garage or utility building has a window, use a blackout curtain to help keep out sunlight and heat. And if you’re structure houses your water heater, wrap the heater in an insulating blanket to help contain heat.

Carport Empire offers you the best price, per-square-foot, on installed carports or steel buildings. We are currently one of the largest distributors of metal carports, enclosed garages, and steel buildings in the United States. Visit us online at carports for sale or call (386) 364-7995.

Beating Winter Temperatures In An Enclosed Rv Carport

Beating Winter Temperatures In An Enclosed Rv Carport

The versatility and affordability of enclosed RV cover / carports has expanded their uses beyond just sheltering vehicles to functioning as home offices, work spaces, and/or play areas. As these uses become more integral in work and family life, having the area in which these activities take place get shut down due to cold temperatures becomes less and less of an option. As carport designs continue to evolve, making them more like room additions than bare bones shelters, a variety of heating options has also developed.

The two primary options for heating these living spaces are electrical or gas generated heat. Getting the right sized heating unit for the space being used is critical to make sure that enough heat gets generated without spending too much on a unit that is bigger than it needs to be. The following are approximations for the heater output required to warm the square footage of a living/working space:

* 250 square feet – 24,000 BTU’s (British Thermal Units)
* 350 square feet – 36,000 BTU’s
* 550 square feet – 48,000 BTU’s

After getting the right sized heating unit, the next decision will be how best to heat the designated area. Depending on whether heating must be spread throughout the area or targeted to a specific area will determine the proper type of heater. For heating wide areas, going with a convection heater is usually the best choice. An example where a convection style heater would be best is an area where people might be dispersed or moving around such as a play area or for a business with work areas which are spread out over the square footage of the structure. A less expensive option, such as a radiant or infra-red heater, would work if the area to be heated can be targeted to a specific area, such as a work desk. Money can also be saved by insulating the structure and adding weather stripping to doors and windows.

As more RV carports are being wired for electrical output, hooking up regulation heaters has become a common practice. For areas that don’t experience freezing temperatures, space heaters can also provide enough heat from a 120 volt outlet but care must always be taken to keep the heaters upright and away from all kinds of flammable materials. A “tip-over” feature automatically turns the heater off or emits a beeping sound should the unit be upended.  

Gas heaters can generate heat from both fixed and portable sources. Natural gas and liquid petroleum supply heaters from fixed piping systems while propane and kerosene are carried in storage tanks. With any gas based heating system it is extremely important to ventilate the heated area as well as placing carbon monoxide sensors around the interior of the structure to alert occupants of any kind of buildup of the noxious gas. Of the four gas sources, kerosene carries a consistently strong odor making it probably the least desirable source of heat, especially in an enclosed or poorly ventilated structure.

What You Need To Know About Carport Kits

What You Need To Know About Carport Kits

What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) is an often used computing acronym which means that the final output is very similar to the editing content you used in developing this outcome. In a very similar way, carport kits have a direct relevance to the carports that they produce. .

That is why it is necessary for you to consider the particular type of carport that you need before getting one. It is necessary for you to think about the size of the place in which you intend to locate this particular kind of carport, the total number of cars you intend to accommodate; as this will help you in knowing the type to get, intended design of wooden or metal carport, et al. .

Another consideration you have to make, before getting carport kits is ensuring you check with the local authorities if you require a permit before installing carport. This is because you might need one or there may be certain restrictions as to how one is installed. .Wooden and metal carports are two often used carport types. Others may be in existence, but these two are the more familiar carport types. If you are seriously thinking about visual appeal with regard to your carport and your home then it will be necessary for you to ask questions about this in order to confirm visual agreement with your home. .A home built mostly with wood may do better aesthetically with a wooden carport rather than metal carports. Although alumawood; a metal that looks like wood can be used in place of wood to make wood looking metal carports, the major disadvantage with this type of metal is that it is heavy which can increase your cost of transportation. .

If you are considering getting a metal type carport, you should be aware that steel made metal carports are definitely more powerful than aluminum carports. Even though they cost more, having them will prove to be wiser as they often outlast carports made with aluminum. .When using carport kits to install carports please ensure you follow instructions contained in the manufacturer’s manual as this will only ensure you get the best from this product. One advantage of doing this is that you have warranty for any defective carport kit bought where applicable. .

Installing a carport is easy to do with the use of carport kits. This is true if only you adhere to all that has been stated here..

Carport Versatility

Carports
by SteelMaster Buildings

Carport Versatility

Carports have many uses beyond providing shelter for vehicles, RV’s, and boats. While most are used exactly for these purposes, a little out of the box thinking can yield a range of different uses. One feature of carports is that they can be located anywhere as long as they sit on level ground and are accessible. Whether attached to a home or business or built as a separate structure, metal carports provide for a variety of uses.

Fully enclosed carport options:

* Home offices – Working at home typically requires a area separate from barking dogs, crying babies, and general household hubbub. The addition of an insulated metal carport can create a space with all the amenities of a regular office.
* Game rooms – Carports can be set up for pool tables, televisions, and a host of other activities.
* Additional space for a business – Metal carports are a cost effective way for businesses and warehouses to add square footage for either temporary or permanent use.
* A music or art studio – Metal carports can serve as a great space to paint, sculpt, or, with a little sound proofing, create and record music.
* Additional storage – Whether climate controlled or not, metal carports come in a variety of sizes to meet any kind of storage needs.
* Create a play area – Whether it’s hot or cold outside, it’s great for kids to have their own place to play. Size and roof options allow for a range of options from small play rooms to structures which can house playground equipment like swing-sets and slides.
* Build an indoor work space – Restore a classic car, work on machinery, or dive in to other hobbies which require a lot of work space.         

Open sided or portable carports:

* Portable carports are great for outdoor activities such as picnics, family reunions, yard sales, birthdays, and graduation parties.
* Portables can provide shade on camping and RV trips.
* Carports work as walkway covers to provide protection from the elements.
* A stationary or portable carport can act as a pool cover to keep out leaves, dust, and dirt, saving money and hours of pool cleaning time.
* For farm use, metal carports can provide shelter for tractors and other heavy equipment. They can also be used to provide shade while animals are feeding.

There are a host of other uses for enclosed, open sided and portable carports which aren’t mentioned here. Regardless of the intended use, Carport Empire’s complete line of carports can provide the right solution including upgrades and additional accessories.

Carport Cabinets – Day 248
Carports

Image by Velo Steve
It has been a while since I’ve posted a "here’s the latest on the house picture".

Today we assembled and installed some cabinets we got at Lowes. They are over 6 feet tall and total about 12 feet wide. The idea is to get most of the garden tools, paint, water toys and such out of the garage. Then I’ll have no excuse not to organize and clean what’s left inside.

For the engineers out there (the only ones still reading?) I’ll explain the uneven levels of the cabinets. The leftmost is lower than the rightmost because the carport is designed to drain that way. A lot of rain water flows through in the Winter. The center cabinet is higher than the others because the wall is a retaining wall and it has a drainage hole there. The galvanized pipe gets the cabinet above the flow without trapping the water.

Obviously I could have set all three at the same level, but why reach higher than necessary?
