North and Central Florida have a humid subtropical climate, while South Florida has tropical weather.

Carport1 steel buildings and carports offer 12-gauge and 14-gauge tubing options to withstand rough weather conditions throughout Florida.

We offer 29-gauge default roof panels for residential metal buildings. The option to upgrade to 26-gauge panels is more applicable to the commercial or farm-based buildings.

July remains the hottest month in Florida with an average temperature of 82°F and the coldest remains in January at 61°F. The areas with drier and hot temperature generally choose to install 29-gauge panels for roof and 14-gauge tubing for the structure.

In Florida areas that experience heavy thunderstorms and tropical cyclones, Carport1 customers should install metal carports and buildings on concrete bases to help combat these weather conditions.

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.

Weather conditions in Florida

Florida is the Southern state located at peninsula between the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Straits of Florida. There are 283 cities, 67 counties, 109 towns, and 20 villages in Florida, a total of 412  municipalities. Florida having close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean influences its climate.

Along with the state of Hawaii, Florida is one of only two states that has a tropical climate. Due to its relative proximity to the Tropic of Cancer (The Northern Tropic), Florida enjoys relatively warm weather throughout the year.

• The weather differs from one area to another. Florida can be divided into Northern Area, Trans Pecos region, Hill Country, Piney Woods, and South.
• The climate of the Northern and Central parts of the US state of Florida is humid subtropical.
• South Florida has a tropical climate.
• Monsoon season lasts from May until October.
• The onset of the dry season takes place around October. Northern Florida sees the onset earlier than Southern Florida.
• Snowfall is quite rare throughout Florida. Northern Florida sees only fleeting snow or sleet a few times each decade.
• The South sees more frequent rainfall throughout the year than the North. Miami is one of the rainiest cities in the continental United States.

Florida sees the greatest number of thunderstorms a year and it receives frequent tropical storms.

Roof Styles Recommended for Florida Residents.

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

Florida comprises 3 different climate zones; the choice of roof style for each zone will depend on the weather and climatic conditions.

Northern & Central Area –The Northern and Central areas are mostly dry and hot and snowfall is rare. A metal building owner should consider adding a 14-gauge metal frame structure with 29-gauge premium vertical metal roof panels.

The South –The South has tropical weather and receives frequent rain fall and tropical storms. A metal building owner should consider installing 14-gauge or 12-gauge metal frames with 29-gauge or 26-gauge vertical panels.

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 Florida 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 Florida 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 Florida who experience heavy snowfall or heavy rain.
