How long will it take to get my carport delivered after I place an order?
Delivery usually takes 2-4 weeks upon the date the order is received from the dealer.

How long will it take for my steel structure to be assembled?
Standard buildings are assembled in about an hour but it may take up to two days depending upon the size and type of structure.

What size do I need to make my cement slab for the floor?
You should pour your concrete slab 3/4" wider and 1' shorter in length.

What are the dimensions of the carport outside to outside?
Width x Length x Height (ex. 18 x 21 x 5)
Length dimension is measured by the roof metal with a 6" overhang on each end. Therefore, the bottom base rail is one foot shorter than the roof. Width is measured from outside base rail to the other outside base rail.

What is the highest leg height I can order?
Twelve foot. Please call if you require larger than 12 ft legs.

How much adjustment do you have to level your carport?
About 3 to 4 inch.

When should I use the extra 4 foot braces?
When the leg height is 8 foot or taller and on all 22 and 24 foot wide carports.

Why should I consider a vertical roof versus a horizontal roof?
The vertical roof lets water, snow, etc. run off quickly and does not let it pond up on the roof.

Can you add to a carport after it is already installed?
Yes. There will be an extra service charge. The original carport must be an American Steel Carport. In order to add walk-in or overhead or roll-up doors, the original carport must be 6 foot or taller.

What is the pitch in the center of the carport?
Pitch will vary depending upon the width of your carport. It can be from 2-1/2' to 4'.

What types of anchors do you have?
3 foot temporary pin anchors for ground and clay or asphalt installation (not responsible if you choose pin anchors only)
Double helix mobile home anchors for ground and clay installation only (extra cost)
Concrete anchors for concrete installation only (extra cost)

Do I need a permit?
It depends on your state, county and city codes.

Does color affect my price?
