Metal carports or enclosed garages offer a safe enclosure for your cars, horses, lawn equipment, ATVs, RVs, garden equipment, boats and literally anything that you need to secure from weather elements. However, buying an outdoor storage shed or a carport can be a tricky thing in Kentucky if you are doing it for the first time. In Kentucky, there are a lot of factors to consider when it comes to choosing the right company that offers you the best metal buildings. Here is what we (Viking Steel Structures) recommend you look into, if you are in the market to buy a pre-engineered steel building.

Look for excellent services that extend beyond hollow promises

We have heard many customers call us and tell us they cancelled the order for their enclosed garage or side entry carport in Kentucky. The reason being that even after a long wait period, the carport manufacturers could not get their buildings delivered to them. We recommend you work with a reputed company like ours when you buy a metal building in Kentucky that stands tall on its promise to deliver quality steel structures on time.

Quality of built

A “Made in America” tag will give you satisfaction of getting a quality building that offers you the best bang for your buck. You can safely consider Viking Steel Structures for your carport style buildings including RV covers, motorhome sheds, lean-to sheds, and metal workshops. Our steel buildings are manufactured with galvanized steel in USA, so you can depend on our buildings to withstand the weather in Kentucky without breaking a sweat. We offer 12 ga and 14 ga tubing options in Kentucky to stand rough weather conditions, hail, storms, and tornadoes. For the roof panels, we offer 29 gauge as the default with an optional upgrade of higher end 26 ga panels for any commercial or farm building needs.

Metal Frames and Panels

Gauge is standard measuring unit which defines thickness of a metal sheet or steel sheet. Every carport or metal structure company uses it as a standard term to define the quality of the metal sheets.  We have frames available in either 12-gauge or 14-gauge galvanized steel and for the roofing panels we use 29 gauge or 26 ga premium steel.

Gauge represents the thickness of metal sheet, its values are presented in inverse i.e. The lower the Gauge, the stronger metal sheet. 12 gauge metal sheets have thickness 0.1084 inches whereas a 14 gauge metal sheet is 0.0785 inches thick. If you live in an area that experiences rough windstorms or heavy snow, we recommend the stronger and more robust 12-Gauge metal sheet option. The 14-Gauge metal sheet is the industry standard for frame thickness and accepted everywhere for building metal carports and garages. Both Gauges are safe to use in your building structures including metal carports, steel barns, metal workshops, steel garages, custom metal buildings, RV Covers and other utility carports. The 14 gauge tubular frame has 2 ½” x 2 ½” steel tubing, whereas the 12 gauge – 2 ¼” x 2 ¼” steel tubing which is Heavier and stronger than the 14 ga – 20-year limited warranty on rust through of frame assuming normal user care/maintenance.

Special Considerations for Kentucky Customers

Due to the extreme weather in most parts of Kentucky, it is necessary to take the weather into consideration before selecting your metal building. Our experts can help you determine which building meets your needs and will hold up with the most dependability to the elements. The gauge of the material you choose will help determine the building’s ability to withstand heavy winds, while the roof pitch and roof style can also determine how well heavy rains dissipate – an important factor in KY due to its wet weather.
