Most parts of Kansas enjoys a humid subtropical climate. Humid subtropical climate includes hot humid summers and mild winters. These weather conditions basically want a metal structure with galvanized steel to withstand the heat along with thicker and insulated roof panels to reflect the sunlight.

The areas with high precipitation should consider installing a thicker frame structure and proper roof to withstand rain. Snowfall is frequent in the fringes of the south with 5 inches (130 mm) up to 35 inches (890 mm) of snow in the far northwest.

The areas under Tornado Alley must install stronger metal structures with a strong base on the concrete slab. A fully-enclosed metal structure is recommended to provide enough protection from the harsh weather conditions.

Does Kansas demand insulation for metal buildings or additional accessories to maintain the temperature inside?

Parts of Kansas receives hot and humid weather. It will be almost impossible to stay inside the metal building without any reflective insulation or heat protection.

There are various sorts of reflective materials available for metal buildings, however, you can choose the right kind of reflective insulation for your metal building according to your local weather.

There are many forms of insulation available for metal buildings. You can choose from

• Rigid Board
• Spray Foam
• Fiberglass
• Cellulose
• Rockwool

All listed insulation come with an R-value of 16 and above. Here, R-value signifies a measure of resistance to heat flow through a given thickness of the material. It helps to prevent humidity, compression, act as a Radiant barrier and Vapor barrier, and prevent Mold and mildew, and air infiltration.

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.

Kansas enjoys a varying weather condition. The humid subtropical climate and tornado alley brings in harsh weather most of the time during the year. The areas falling under harsh weather should consider making their metal structure stronger and durable by installing additional support and protection, like a concrete base and extra anchors.

Kansas is a mid-western state in the United States of America. The state is surrounded by Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, and Oklahoma. Due to its location far away from the ocean, the weather remains unique. Kansas’s climate can be characterized in three types; humid continental, semi-arid steppe, and humid subtropical.

The Johnson Country in Kansas is the largest in terms of the population while Hodgeman Country remains the least populated. The larger size of the state and the merging of multiple climate zones gives it a distinct weather pattern.

The weather differs from one region to another. Kansas can be divided into multiple sections in terms of their respective climatic conditions.

• The Eastern two-thirds of the KS state, including the northeastern portion, has a humid continental climate, with cold winters, and hot and humid summers. Most of the precipitation takes place in summer and spring.
• The Western third of the state mainly has a semiarid steppe climate. Summers are generally hotter and less humid. Winters vary from warm to cold. The western region receives 16 in (410 mm) of precipitation on average annually.
• The far South-Central and Southeastern sections of the state, including Wichita, have a humid subtropical climate with hot and humid summers. The winters are milder, and this section receives a higher amount of precipitation than elsewhere in Kansas.
• U.S. Routes 83 and 81, and south of U.S. 50, enjoy the temperature reaching 100 °F (38 °C) or above on most days of June, July, and August. High humidity added to the high temperature can sometimes make the area hard to live in.

Some of the areas in Kansas are known for their super-cell thunderstorms. These can produce some tornadoes mainly in the Eastern and Western parts of Kansas.

Roof Styles Recommended for Kansas Residents.

Carport1 offers three styles of strong and attractive roof design, all of which are permitted in Kansas. 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 Kansas 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.

Kansas is comprised of various regions according to their climatic condition. The choice of roof style will depend on the weather condition.

• The Eastern two-thirds of Kansas has a humid continental climate. It has cold winters and hot and humid summers. Precipitation is common in the summer and spring. You should consider installing a vertical roof with 26-gauge roof panels. The 26-gauge panel will also offer extra protection from any tornadoes.
• The Western third of the state is known for its semiarid steppe climate. Summers are hot and less humid while winters vary from warm to cold. You should consider installing boxed eave or vertical roof with 28-gauge panels. This also helps to prevent damage from rainfall.
• The far South-Central and Southeastern sections of KS have a humid subtropical climate with hot and humid summers. This region receives the highest amount of precipitation in KS, hence, you should consider installing vertical or boxed eave roof with 26-gauge panels.
• For the areas with hot summer, you should choose to install 28-gauge roof panels and can install from vertical, boxed eave to regular roof styles.
