Base Rails: The rectangular tubing that the legs of the carport sit on.
Bow / Truss: A bow is a single piece of rectangular tubing bent to make the roof of the carport.
Concrete Anchors: Also called redheads, these are used when a carport or steel building is installed on a new or existing concrete slab.
Corner Braces: Corner braces help reinforce the shear movement from side to side. The quantity and size of corner braces included on your unit free of charge will depend on the height and width.
Gable Ends: A horizontal panel that extends from the top of the legs up to the peak, to cover the triangular opening on the end of the structure and give you a squared-off entry.
Garage Door / Roll-Up: Our doors roll up into a cylinder above the opening rather than pulled back along a track like traditional home garage doors. Additional leg height may be needed to fit the door of your choice.
Header: Headers are used to support the weight of the trusses when the openings or cut-outs are on the side of the building instead of the gable and will carry an additional cost.
Legs: Legs are the wall framing tubes that elevate the top portion of the carport. They connect with the bows/truss to support the roof.
Paneling: Panels are 26 or 29 gauge steel and are 3′ wide by our standard lengths of 21’, 26’, and 31’. Panels are available in all colors above, at no additional cost, except Copper Penny which is additional.
Ridge Cap: Ridge caps are used on vertical roof carports to cover the cap at the peak of the roof where each side of the roofing panels meets.
Tubing: Our carports are made with 12 or 14 gauge rectangular tubing and hold a 20-year limited rust-through warranty.
Walk-in Doors: Our walk in door size is a 36” x 80” standard exterior home door. They are primed white and only available as an out-swing.
Windows: When installing optional windows, the standard window size is 30” x 30”.
