Metal Buildings and Metal Carports in Kentucky, KY
We have been offering our metal buildings in the Bluegrass state for a great number of years now. We understand that not all of our customers, even from the same state, will have similar storage requirements. Some people just need a basic, single-car metal carport to shade their car from the harsh sun exposure. While others will need an enclosed agricultural barn for their farm.
We do have a large collection of metal buildings that have been manufactured to cater to the needs of every customer. We have standard, open carports, enclosed metal garages and metal barns for farm storage. These metal structures are not only ideal for protecting your storage, but they are also incredibly versatile. Large garages and barns can be used as workshops, offices, and so much more.
While we have the finest collection of metal buildings, we recognize that everyone likes different things. So, we allow our customers more freedom on the design of their metal building. Our Kentucky carports are entirely customizable. The owners can choose the features they want to add and/or modify to their buildings.
Are insulation or additional accessories necessary to maintain the inside temperature of metal buildings in KY?
Insulation, in any metal building, is very important to make inside of the building more suitable for occupancy. Using insulation materials is just a more cost-effective way of maintaining thermal comfort inside the building. Thermal comfort inside a building is crucial for the efficiency as well as the health of the people living inside. Without this level of comfort, people cannot give their optimum output.
While mechanical equipment, like ACs, fans, and heaters can also do the same job, they add to your energy consumption and also increase the operation cost of the building. Plus, these pieces of equipment do not really address another real issue, that of condensation. A properly insulated Kentucky metal carport can easily handle the humidity of the place. Among the more popular materials for insulation, some of them are listed below:
- Rigid Board
- Spray Foam
- Fiberglass
- Cellulose
- Rockwool
Does Metal Building require a Kentucky permit?
Most substantial metal buildings in Kentucky requires a building permit. Most counties have its own permit regulations. City-specific permitting regulations may vary. Check with your local building and construction authority to learn more about specific regulations.

Metal Frame Gauge
Metal buildings, barns, carports, garages and other structures from Carport1 are built with a metal frame using either 12-gauge or 14-gauge steel. Both of these options are premium metals which can withstand severe weather and wear or tear.
Gauge is the the thickness, size, or capacity of something, especially as a standard measure. In the case of our all-metal buildings, steel gauge means the thickness and strength of the steel components of that structure. Hence, the thicker the framing, the greater strength and the value.

14-gauge Framing
The 14-gauge steel frame from Carport1 measures 2 ½” x 2 ½” inches diameter. The 14 gauge frame tends to be more economical than the 12-gauge frame and has a lower tensile strength. So, metal carport or metal building kits with 14-gauge framing are cost-effective and are recommended in areas with a mild climate.
12 Gauge Framing
The 12-gauge steel frame measures 2 ¼” x 2 ¼” in diameter. It is thicker than the 14-gauge frame and is the strongest Carport1 option available for metal buildings. The 12-gauge framing features higher tensile strength and is more useful for the carports in the areas with heavy snows and winds.
Carport1 recommends that strong concrete foundations are used when constructing metal carports, buildings, barns and other structures in areas prone to tornadoes, hurricanes or hailstorms.
For the areas which receive heavy rainfall and snowfall, Carport1 recommends installing a 12-gauge metal frame and 26-gauge roof panels. For the areas with hot and humid temperature, installing a 14-gauge premium metal frames and 29-gauge roof panels should suffice.

Kentucky, in general, is known to have a humid subtropical climate. However, on a macro level, the topography of the place dictates the local weather pattern.
Mostly, Kentucky enjoys mild weather conditions all through the four seasons. The summers are not extremely hot and the winters are not freezingly cold. These mild conditions mean that you can comfortably shelter your belongings under a metal building with 14-gauge tubular framing and the 29-gauge steel sheet enclosure. The state does experience a lot of precipitation throughout the year, meaning outside items need to be protected.
So, getting vertical roof can actually save you a lot of cleaning and maintenance hassle. Then, there are occasional the occurrences of thunderstorms, and even tornadoes. In areas that experience those extremes of nature, we do recommend upgrading to carports with 12-gauge tubular framing.
Roof Styles Recommended for Kentucky Residents.
Carport1 offers three styles of strong and attractive roof design, all of which are permitted in Kentucky. When customizing your Carport1 steel building, carport, barn and other structure, consider which roof best fits your requirements for weather, use, property and protection. The style of the roof also determines the dead load and live load of the structure. Anyone in Kentucky can consider installing a metal building with either of these 3 roof styles.

VERTICAL ROOF STYLE – BEST
Vertical roof style is an A-frame design that works best for harsh climate conditions, such as, heavy snowfall and torrential rain. The vertical roof panel allows snow and water to slide easily off the roof with zero residues. In vertical roof style, the panels on the roof are oriented in a vertical orientation along the width of the structure.
BOXED EAVE STYLE – BETTER
Boxed Eave style, also an A-frame design, is the roof style which has roof panels that are laid horizontally along the length of the carport. This is a more affordable than vertical roof styling. The roof style works best in the moderate climate with the occasional heavy winds or gust.
REGULAR – GOOD
Regular style roof is the most common and economical choice for carports and metal buildings. These metal roofs tend to be lighter than other roof styles. The corrugated ridges run from end to end and they work great in an area with mild weather. This roof style is perfect for protecting your vehicle from direct sunlight or mellow rain/snow.

Additional support
Gable ends
Gable ends are a design feature that increase coverage to your metal carport and building. Triangular in shape, Carport1's attractive all-metal sheet is tightly attached to the roof and provides additional structural support.
Metal carports and metal buildings with gable ends are recommended for many parts of Kentucky where harsh weather occurs. Ask about the Carport1 difference.
Panels
Carport1 offers optional all-steel panels on the sides of steel frames for added structural support and strength in our metal and steel carports, garages, barns, RV Covers and other structures. If you live in a section of Kentucky that encounters heavy wind and rain typical of tornadoes and hurricanes, we recommend adding panels to outdoor metal structures.
Bows and trusses
Carport1 uses architectural bows and trusses to strengthen and stabilize the roofs of its quality metal buildings. Generally, metal structure with a width size of 24 ft. will include a bow, and those wider than 24 ft. will feature a truss. These features are important for residents of Kentucky who experience heavy snowfall or heavy rain.
