Metal Carports In South Carolina We Sell

The metal buildings in SC we sell span just about every possible use, ranging from simple car covers to large enclosed structures with walk-in and roll-up doors and windows.

The metal carports in SC we sell include the following:

Steel carports are most commonly used as car covers, but they can also be used as outdoor storage shelters. We sell carport kits, as well, which are designed for do-it-yourself assembly. In addition, we sell RV carports and portable carports, which are compact and easy to move.

Our steel garages are fully customizable. No matter what size you need, and no matter what features you require, we can help you design a garage to fit your needs. We also sell garage kits, which are a bit easier to install, and portable garages that can easily be moved.

Not every metal carport vendor sells solar carports. But we do. It’s one of our stand-out products, and it shows we’re a leader in our industry. Solar carports cost more, but they’ll drastically reduce your electric bills and help you recoup your investment over time.

One of the biggest trends in home building, barndominiums — a combination of “barn” and “condominium” — are houses often built on large plots of land in rural areas. Barn homes are more affordable than houses made of other more costly materials, like brick or stone.

In addition to metal carports and steel buildings, we sell all kinds of metal building materials, including cold-formed steel framing. We stock purlins, trusses, studs and track framing. These frames can be used to support roofs, load-bearing walls, interior walls and more.

Portable canopies can be used in more ways than just about any other products we sell. Their lightweight construction makes them extremely easy to install, take down and even move. Not only that, the wide variety of sun shelter options we stock makes it easy to pick the right one.

The biggest selling point of a utility shed is that they’re often designed to include both open and enclosed space — like a carport with storage. We also sell portable sheds, which are mobile, as well as lean-to and loafing sheds, which are partially enclosed utility buildings.

ADUs, also known as mother-in-law suites and granny flats, are gaining traction throughout the country. They help control rental rates while giving homeowners the opportunity to supplement their income. Although they can be costly, metal ADUs are a great affordable solution.

Another home building trend, shouses, or shop houses, are residential structures with a built-in shop. A shouse is also known as a shop with living quarters attached. These home styles are ideal for homeowners who require a place to work, but don’t want to build a detached workshop.

Advantages of Buying Metal Carports in SC From "Steel And Stud"

The geography of the Palmetto State is diverse and beautiful, from the sandy beaches of Myrtle Beach, to bustling cities like Charleston and Columbia to the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains.

This landscape diversity does mean that ordering a metal carport SC from “Steel And Stud” requires some planning in advance.

And, whether you’re planning to use your steel building for residential or business purposes will also impact your installation.

And, with as many as 221 days of sun per year, South Carolinians can help their metal carports pay for themselves by installing renewable energy sources, like solar panels, right on top of metal buildings in SC. Not only will this save you money on your energy bills; you’ll lower your carbon footprint, and in some cases, you may even qualify for tax credits.

South Carolina steel carports are sturdy and aesthetically pleasing. You can increase the functionality and beauty of any carport by investing in carport canopies or carport covers. Traditionally, car ports are covered only on one side or not covered at all. However, since it’s your carport, you could choose to cover it on as many sides as you want and we’ll comply.

However, before you contact us to purchase a metal car port, do get your budget sorted and inquire with the authorities in your area if there are any restrictions regarding the installation of SC metal carports.

Our carports in South Carolina we deliver are based on the specifications you send over. Depending on the number and kind of vehicle you plan to store under the metal carport, you can get in touch with us with the length, width and height of car port you want.

City dwellers living in Columbia, Charleston or Greenville understand that space can be difficult to come by. These are historic cities with older homes, built at a time when families owned simply owned less stuff. If storage at your home is a concern, and you don’t have a significant amount of room to spare, you might want to consider one of our smaller metal carports. We can build them as small as 10-feet wide by 10-feet long and with heights as low as 5 feet.

But, if you’re out in the country in towns like Due West, Peak, and North, available space won’t be as much of a concern. In that case, take a look at some of our larger designs.

If you’re building and ordering via our carport builder tool, we can take orders for metal carports as large as 30-feet wide by 61-feet long and with leg heights of up to 12 feet. If you need something bigger, give us a call; we offer carports over 100 feet wide and unlimited length.

When you’re building your steel carport in the city, give some consideration to security — especially if you’re planning to use it for storing vehicles or anything else of value. With this in mind, you can build and enclosed  metal carport in SC with walk-in and roll-up doors.

When building an enclosed steel building, think carefully about your application before making a decision. If you’re planning to use it for large equipment and machinery that you need easy and regular access to, include at least one frameout, which allows you to install custom doors.

For those in rural areas simply looking for a basic shelter, fully enclosed sides aren’t always necessary. We can provide car ports with a single wall, partial walls, or even no side walls.

This can be especially valuable if you live in a neighborhood with a Home Owner’s Association that has restrictions on how carport style, design and color.

Speaking of HOAs, it’s not uncommon for them to forbid homeowners from keeping trailered boats and RVs on driveways. If you don’t have a garage already, or you don’t want to occupy your garage with vehicles other than the cars and trucks you use day to day, then a metal building could be the perfect solution to keep both you and your neighbors happy.

If you’re short on storage space in your home, a steel carport could be a great option for you. Metal buildings in SC can be set up for both long and short term storage of household items.

With around 25,000 farms covering almost 5 million acres across South Carolina, it’s safe to say agriculture makes up a huge part of the state’s economy. And because farming in SC requires a lot of equipment, it certainly makes sense to have a safe and secure place to store everything.

But it’s not only Segway tour operators that can benefit from buying metal carports in SC. If you run bus tours, a large steel car port gives you a great place to lock up your vehicles.

Factors To Consider When Buying Metal Building In SC

Life on the Atlantic Coast is a big draw, but the annual Atlantic hurricane season poses a variety  of problems for property owners. South Carolina residents are no strangers to heavy weather. Leaving your vehicles out in the fury of this element of nature is not something you’d willingly do. “Steel And Stud” with carports for sale in South Carolina has utility carports that are just perfect to ensure that everything that needs to be protected from the weather is protected.

If you’re considering a metal carport in SC, there are several factors to consider. Due to the nature of SC’s varied terrain, where you live will have an impact on the steps you should take and the things you need to think about before breaking ground for your new metal building.

South Carolina can receive a lot of rain — especially in coastal areas. Many people use carports to keep their vehicles and tools safe from the weather without the hassle and expense of building a wood or stone structure. Although convenient, carports can suffer from some of the same issues as brick and mortar construction if certain steps, like proper drainage, aren’t taken.

For example, rainwater runoff can quickly end up pooling on the concrete or asphalt slab you had installed, or even on grass and dirt. This standing water can cause slip and fall hazards, as well as damage to the floor itself. Once the floor is damaged, this can affect the structural integrity of your steel carport. Even worse, if you’ve attached your metal carport to a wall in your home and you allow standing water inside the carport, it can lead to moisture inside the home.

Combat this by ensuring that you install sufficient means of drainage, such as gutters, and then make sure you have a downward sloping side you can direct runoff to. It’s also advisable if you live in an area with significant rainfall that you install drainage that connects to storm drains.

South Carolina is blessed with mild winters, but summers can be extremely hot. With temperatures regularly in the upper 90s, it’s extremely important you’re able to regulate the temperature inside your steel building if you’re planning to use it for any kind of manufacturing, or as a workshop where employees will spend significant time inside.

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, or HVAC for short, can be easily installed in a metal carport from CPM. But, if you’re going to go down this route, make sure you properly insulate your steel building first, otherwise your electricity bills will be sky high.

Of course, installing a climate control system is something that should only be done on a fully enclosed carport. For metal carports in SC that are completely open, large fans are an option.

If you’re located along South Carolina’s beautiful coastline, the salty sea air can, unfortunately, become a problem for unprotected steel structures. Rust and corrosion can set in, and over time, cause your steel carport to deteriorate beyond repair.

Homes and businesses within half a mile of the sea are at the highest risk of corrosion, so building a carport made out of high-quality, durable materials is extremely important. Fortunately, all our metal carports in SC have frames made with galvanized steel. The galvanization process involves treating the frame with zinc, which protects the steel from corrosion.

Our South Carolina steel frames are available in two sizes: 12-gauge, which is 2 ¼ inches by 2 ¼ inches thick, and 14-gauge, which is 2 ½ by 2 ½ inches thick. The 12-gauge frame is approximately 20 percent stronger than the 14-gauge frame.

If you live near the coast, you can also wash your metal carport with fresh water on a regular basis to protect the paint and reduce the chances of salt-causing rust damage.

Building Permits For Metal Buiding In SC

Despite how easy it is to order a steel structure from “Steel And Stud”, there is work that must be done in advance. Before placing your order, do your due diligence and check to see which permits are required in your area for this type of structure. We recommend you actually apply for the relevant permits and wait to receive them prior to making your purchase.

South Carolina, like every other state, has building and land use regulations. These rules are not optional, and often even include portable car ports. Building codes and regulations vary by city and county, so be sure to check all applicable rules to make sure you’re in compliance.
