Florida residents love the year-round warmth and sunshine that living in the state allows them to experience. While the sun is great, the rays can cause damage to both people and cars. If you do not have enough space to park your car inside of your garage or simply do not have a garage, parking your car outside can lead to faded and cracked paint and interior damage. A better alternative to parking your vehicles outside is to purchase a new metal carport or an enclosed metal building from Nelson’s Buildings. By purchasing a galvanized steel carport or a building, you can protect your vehicles from the sun, high winds, rain, hail, and other elements that occur in Florida.

Carports in FL Provide Protection

The metal carports from Nelson’s Buildings protect cars, SUVs, trucks, motorcycles, boats, and other vehicles from the different types of weather that Floridians experience. They can be anchored to the ground, to asphalt, or to concrete slabs to help to keep them in place during hurricanes and high winds. The roofs and posts of our carports are made from strong galvanized steel, helping to protect your vehicles from hail and other problems. You can partially or fully enclose your carport to provide even more protection.

The protection that our carports offer to Florida residents is the primary reason why our customers purchase the galvanized steel carports from Nelson’s Buildings. In addition to protecting your vehicles from the elements, your new carport can also offer many other benefits to you. You can also use your carport to store other outdoor items such as lawn and gardening equipment. Some people like to use their carports as shady structures in which they can entertain their family members and friends during backyard barbecues. Our carports provide shelter from the sun for children while they are playing outdoors and are a convenient place for parents to sit while watching their children playing. Some residents use their carports to complete different projects such as woodworking that produce too much dust to be performed indoors. How you might use your carport is only limited by your imagination.

Types, styles, sizes of metal buildings we offer in Florida.

With Nelson’s Buildings, you can find a carport that will fit your available space and your needs. Our carports can be built in a broad range of sizes and styles, ranging from 12 x 21 feet up to 24 x 41 feet or larger. If you want a wider carport, we have triple-wide carports that range in width from 26 feet to 30 feet. You can add length to your carport beyond 41 feet in five-feet sections.

We also offer metal barn lean-to carports that can be as wide as 60 feet. You can add length to your carport in five-feet sections until you get the length that you want. All of our Florida carports are certified and rated for winds of up to 150 miles per hour. This helps the carports from Nelson’s Buildings to withstand medium-strength hurricane winds up to Category 3. You can also upgrade to a carport that is rated for 180 miles per hour, which means it will withstand nearly every hurricane that makes landfall in the state.

For our Florida steel carports, we use 14-gauge steel with 2 1/2 inch x 2 1/2 inch square tubing. As an upgrade, you can choose 12-gauge steel with 2 1/2 inch x 2 1/2 inch tubing. The 12-gauge steel tubing is highly rust-resistant, which is important if you live in a coastal area in which your carport will be exposed to salt spray from the ocean. It has a tensile strength of 54 pounds per square inch, which is much stronger than what you can find in aluminum carports. Our cement anchors come standard with every carport that we sell.

When you are planning to install a new metal carport from Nelson’s Buildings for your Florida home or business, you need to check with your local county or city for the building codes. You should plan your concrete pad to be a size that fits your carport while remembering to factor in the overhang. Some of the other options that we offer for our steel carports in Florida include the following:

  • Bracing with two- or four-foot braces
  • Longer or wider carports
  • Carports that are taller to accommodate vehicles such as semi-trailers and RVs
  • Partial or full enclosures
  • Fully enclosed metal garages with doors and windows

You can make your selection of the options that you want from the convenience of your home or business at our online shop. After you choose the length, width, style, height, color, and other options, you can place your order and pay a minimum deposit. We will then build your carport to meet your specifications and deliver it to your home or business for free anywhere in the state. Our carports are entirely made in the U.S.A., and we install them for free.

Daniel arrived promptly on a Friday evening after my garage became inoperable. After replacing two springs and some final tuning I was out the door in 30 minutes.
