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.

How Michigan Weather Affects the Metal Building You Choose

A critically important factor to consider when customizing your Carport1 Metal Garages or Carports in Michigan is the local climate. Our steel structures are strong, sturdy and withstand heavy winds, rains and snow. Talk to our professionals to review the construction specifications and ensure that the Carport1 metal building you purchase suits your local weather.

In areas of Michigan with the hottest months, it’s better to install 14-gauge tubing and 29-gauge for the structure. Areas with heavy rain and snow would need to install a thicker 12-gauge tube.

If the base and features of your structure are not strong or good enough, heavy winds and storms might blow the metal carport away. So, experts would suggest building a metal building on a concrete base. Vertical Roof Style or a Boxed Eave can also help strengthen your metal carport. You might not want to go with the regular style if you live in a place with bad climatic conditions.

In areas with heavy snowfall and torrential rain, experts suggest installing stronger metal buildings with a vertical roof style, and A-frame design, and a concrete base.

The vertical roof panel allows snow and water to slide off 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.

If you’re still dubious, you can add more features such as anchors and so forth. Anchors help your building to not get blown away by the wind.

Roof Styles Recommended for Michigan Residents.

Carport1 offers three styles of strong and attractive roof design, all of which are permitted in Michigan. 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 Michigan 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 Michigan 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 Michigan 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 Michigan who experience heavy snowfall or heavy rain.
