Carports in Virginia

How Virginia Weather Affects the Metal Shelters you choose?

Customizing your metal buildings, carports, shelters, RV sheds and other structures in Virginia is best determined by considering local climate condition, weather patterns, and each city’s guideline for building a metal structure.

The weather and temperature may vary across Virginia because of its beaches and mountains.

Most parts of Virginia enjoy delightful year-round weather. But summers can have periods of tropical heat and humidity and the occasional tropical storm, and winters can bring heavy snows.

This weather condition 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 areas in Virginia with high precipitation should consider installing vertical roofs to prevent water accumulation.

The parts of the state prone to hurricanes must consider installing stronger metal structures with a strong base on a concrete slab. A fully-enclosed metal structure is recommended to provide enough protection from the harsh 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.

Virginia is a Southeastern state in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States of America. The state is surrounded by Washington DC, Maryland, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. It’s connected to the Atlantic Ocean in the East, hence, the climate of Virginia can be humid subtropical in the summer. Virginia consists of 95 counties. Its terrain accounts for coastal beaches, farmland, and mountains.

Prince William is the largest county of Virginia with about 460,000 residents while Virginia Beach is the largest city with over 450,000 residents. Despite the large size, the climate and weather conditions are more or less similar throughout the state.

• Most of the state East of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Southern part of the Shenandoah Valley, and the Roanoke Valley, enjoy a humid subtropical climate.
• The state suffers severe weather in the form of tornadoes, tropical cyclones, and winter storms all of which impacts the state on a regular basis.
• Central Virginia is more prone to heavy snowfall.
• The influence of the Atlantic Ocean from the East, powered by the Gulf Stream, creates the potential for hurricanes near the mouth of Chesapeake Bay.
• Hurricanes are more frequent in the coastal area making it a hurricane-prone area.
• Rainfall is frequent throughout the state.

Virginia mostly suffers from tropical cyclones and hurricanes in the form of severe weather condition. So, Carports in Virginia would need a strong base and strong anchors for a more immovable structure.

Roof Styles Recommended for Virginia Residents.

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

Virginia customers should consider adding 26-gauge roof panels to Carport1 metal buildings for maximum protection.

• For areas prone to heavy snowfall, it is essential that you consider installing stronger roof panels for maximum protection from the life load. 26-gauge roof panels with the vertical styling work best. This style of roof also combats any hurricanes.

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

Most parts of Virginia receives warm and humid weather. Reflective insulation or heat protection can be essential for areas with sunlight throughout the year. Although the rain is common, the heat from the direct sunlight can increase the temperature of the metal structure.

There are different forms of insulation available for metal carports in Virginia. You can choose from:

• Rigid Board
