On the surface, it may seem like all carports are the same. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when you are selecting the perfect carport to keep your vehicle safe. You’ll want a carport that can withstand unfavorable weather and last for years to come. If you are living in Flordia or Georgia, you’ve come to the right place! Here at Keen’s Buildings, we specialize in steel constructions, such as carports. We have a wide array of customizability options so you can build your carport to suit you!

Gauge for strength

When you have a carport built, it’s probably safe to say that you want something that will last. A sturdy carport that can not only stand against the test of time but the weather is ideal. That’s why gauge is important. The gauge of steel os the thickness of the steel. The lower the gauge, the thicker the steel. We use 14 gauge steel, which is able to withstand the harsh environmental climates of Georgia and Florida.

Roofs

Your roof is an important aspect of our carport, so it will take the brunt of the weather. You need a sturdy roof that is not susceptible to being ripped off in the event of strong winds. In general, roofs can be placed into one of two categories a vertical roof and a horizontal roof. The vertical roof has the panels running vertically along the roof’s slope, with the horizontal roof having the panels run horizontally up the slope. A horizontal roof may make it more difficult for rain and snow to fall off the occur roof, while a vertical roof tends to cost more. In a state like Florida, where heavy rains occur, it may be best to opt for a vertical roof.
