What kind of materials are used?

The tubing is Square—14 Gauge Galvanized tube and 29 Gauge Metal Cladding.

Can I get a custom sized carport or structure?

Yes, we do custom builds as well. Call us and we can discuss the details of your requirements.

What kind of snow load are these rated for?

Our carports are not engineered, so their is no actual snow load rating we can give you. In saying that, these handle snow very well. During installation you can stand right on the roof. If you are concerned about this please contact us and we can explain in more detail. Our buildings may require snow removal or maintenance during snow falls to prevent damage.

Do I have to have a tradesman install this or can I do the installation myself?

These carports go together with ease, kinda like ‘adult lego’ All you need is ladders and drills—Basic construction knowledge will help.

Where do I start sheeting my carport?

If you have an even amount of sheets, you join your first two sheets and the centre of the rafter. If you have an odd amount of sheets, you saddle your first sheet dead centre of the rafter.

Note: This is for a carport ordered with no extra sheeting.
