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.

Nebraska has a combination of humid continental climate and semi-arid climate. It gets hot and humid during summer and the winters get cold and rough. There are pockets of microclimates all across the state, so the perfect carport for one resident may not be the ideal carport for another.
Additionally, Nebraska is subject to numerous tornadoes and thunderstorms throughout the year. It lies in the Tornado Alley, so buildings in Nebraska have to be able to withstand immense weather loads. Because of the brutal weather conditions in Nebraska faces, experts highly recommend the 12-gauge metal frame option. Additionally, you can also upgrade to 26-gauge metal panel coverage.
There are other options to increase the resistance of your metal carports in Nebraska against storms. Choosing a metal carport with A-framed roof certainly helps. You will need to build a strong concrete base as well. Increasing the number of anchors will also ensure the stability of your carport.
Roof Styles Recommended for Nebraska Residents.
Carport1 offers three styles of strong and attractive roof design, all of which are permitted in Nebraska. 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 Nebraska 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.

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 Nebraska 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 Nebraska 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 Nebraska who experience heavy snowfall or heavy rain.

Are insulation or additional accessories necessary to maintain the inside temperature of metal buildings in NE?
Insulation is an important component of any metal building. Not only does it help to maintain the optimum temperature inside metal garages and metal barns but it also helps avoid the problem of condensation. Lack of thermal comfort inside a building can decrease the efficiency of occupants of the building, pose health risks, and also consume more energy.

Insulating your metal building is an inexpensive way of achieving thermal comfort without requiring much effort from your part. There are various different types of insulation that are out there. You can choose any that fit your budget. Make sure that the insulation layer can cope with the local weather and is installed properly. Some of the more popular types of insulation materials are:
- Rigid Board
- Spray Foam
- Fiberglass
- Cellulose
- Rockwool
