Carports in Georgia

How Georgia affects the Metal Shelters you choose?

Building Metal buildings in Georgia is determined by the local climate condition, weather pattern, and the city’s guideline for building a metal structure. The weather and temperature may vary from its closeness to the ocean. It’s important for you to be sure your metal shelter can withstand even in the harshest weather.

Most parts of Georgia enjoy a subtropical climate. Subtropical climate is known for hot and humid summers and mild winters. Precipitation is more common in the cities lying closer to the ocean. This weather condition basically desires a metal structure with galvanized steel to withstand the frequent rainfall along with thicker roof panels to protect from the sunlight, rain, and snow.

The parts of the state in Tornado alley must consider installing stronger metal structures with a strong base on the concrete slab. Same goes for the areas with frequent hurricanes. A fully-enclosed metal structure is recommended to ensure enough protection from the harsh weather condition.

Does Metal Building require a Georgia permit?

Most substantial metal buildings in Georgia 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.

Georgia has a severe climatic condition. The subtropical climate brings in torrential rain throughout the state. The South bordering with the Atlantic Ocean brings in the hurricane and tropical cyclones, while snowfall and tornadoes are common in Central and Northern parts of the state. The areas falling under harsh weather should consider making their metal structure stronger and more durable by installing additional support and protection.

Georgia is a Southeastern state in the United States of America. The state is surrounded by Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Alabama, and Florida. Due to its location near to the ocean, the climate is mostly humid subtropical. Hot and humid summers are typical in Georgia.

GA consists of 159 counties. Its terrain accounts for coastal beaches, farmland, and mountains. Fulton is the largest county of Georgia with over 1 million residents while Macon is the largest city with over 91,000 residents. Despite the large size, the climate and weather conditions are more or less similar throughout the state.

• The entire state including North Georgia Mountains receives moderate to heavy precipitation, ranging from 45 inches (1143mm) in Central Georgia to 75 inches (1905mm) in the Northeastern part of the state.
• The mountain region remains colder than the rest of the state.
• Winter is characterized by mild temperatures and less snowfall, with the potential for snow and ice increasing in the Northern parts of the state.
• The weather of various localities depends on how close they are to the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico.
• Southeast or Southern areas of the state experience less snowfall compared to the Northern areas.
• Heavy snowfall is common in the Northern areas, ranging from 2 inches to 5 inches of snowfall in a 12hr period.

Georgia lies in the tornado alley, hence, it is prone to tornadoes. It is connected to the Atlantic Ocean in the South which brings infrequent hurricanes in the coastal areas.

Roof Styles Recommended for Georgia Residents.

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

Tips for Choosing the Best Metal Carports in Georgia

Georgia is comprised of subtropical climate. However, the weather may depend on its proximity to the ocean.

• The entire state receives moderate to heavy precipitation, ranging from 45 inches to 75 inches. The areas with heavy rainfall should consider installing 26-gauge roof panels with vertical roof styling.
• The mountain region remains colder than the rest of the state and receives heavy snowfall. It is essential to install 26-gauge roof panels with 12-gauge steel framing to support the dead load and the life load of the structure.
• The region close to the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico suffer from torrential rain and hurricanes. They should consider adding a stronger steel frame and roof panels to prevent any damage from the harsh weather.
• Southeast or Southern areas of the state experience less snowfall compared to the Northern areas. However, rain is more frequent.
• The tornado-prone areas should consider installing 26-gauge roof panels with vertical roof styling for maximum protection.

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

Most parts of Georgia receive hot and humid weather. It will be almost impossible to stay inside the metal building without any reflective insulation or heat protection. Although rain is common, the heat from the direct sunlight can increase the temperature of the metal structure.

There are many kinds 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 is a variety of insulation available for metal buildings. You can choose from:

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

All of these insulations come with an R-value of 16 and above. Here, R-value is a measurement used to measure the resistance to heat flow through a given thickness of the material. It helps to prevent humidity and compression. It acts as a Radiant barrier and Vapor barrier and prevents mold and mildew, and air infiltration.

So, if you’re already building a carport in Georgia, you might want to install insulation and take this into account. Adding this would benefit you in many ways.

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 Georgia 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 Georgia 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 Georgia who experience heavy snowfall or heavy rain.
