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.

South Carolina has a sticky subtropical atmosphere, with sweltering summers and gentle winters. Overall, between 40-80 inches of precipitation fall every year over SC.

Because of sweltering and moist conditions, tropical twisters, and evening rainstorms, an outside building is vital to keep your belongings protected. In areas with the hottest months, it’s better to install 14-gauge tubing and 29-gauge for the structure.

Tornadoes in South Carolina have occurred in the spring and summer months. Hail and harming twists regularly happen in mid-year rainstorms. In this case, experts recommend installing a thicker tube, possibly 12-gauge, stronger metal buildings with a vertical roof, and a concrete base.

Furthermore, 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 in intense weather.

Is Insulation Necessary to Maintain the Inside Temperature of Metal Buildings in South Carolina?

Thermal control inside a building is important to ensure the effective performance of the structure as well as the well-being of the occupants. This is especially true for metal buildings SC, where it can get pretty hot and humid during summers. Hence, it becomes even more important to maintain the optimum inside temperature.

• Rigid Board
• Spray Foam
• Fiberglass
• Cellulose
• Rock Wool

Roof Styles Recommended for South Carolina Residents.

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