Aluminum Carports

Aluminum Carports are delivered and set-up for free in 18 different states in the USA.

Aluminum carports are an easy economical way to cover and protect your items from the powerful sun rays which over time tend to fade the outside of your vehicles paint and even fade the inside of your vehicle.  It is a fact that a vehicle protected from the everyday weather elements will look better longer than a car or truck left out in the open not only from the sun, but also from the rain, snow, ice and hail to hit it.

My wife, Julie about 8 years ago had a new car left out in the open and then a storm came that dropped some hail and her car was left with several dents.  If only I would have listened to my own advice, I would have saved the time and hassle of trying to get it fixed.  The insurance deductible alone would have almost bought a 12x21 aluminum carport which could have provided the needed protection from the hail.

I've heard of other people who have had a tree or large branches which blew off during a severe storm.  In most cases the car or truck was not damaged as the tree or branch hit the aluminum carport instead of a direct hit on the vehicle.     

Alan's Factory Outlet aluminum carports are built in several different styles, sizes and heights to help protect your car, suv, truck, rv, boat or farm equipment.

Good news!  32', 34', 36', 38' & 40' Wide Certified Carports come standard with:

• Vertical Roof

You may be asking yourself what does certified mean?

Certified means that the Carport is engineered to meet 130 mph winds and meet 30 psf snow load.  Certified also means we will provide engineered drawings to your town or county if needed.  These drawings are faxed only after purchase.

14 gauge tubing is standard but can be upgraded to 12 gauge for extra strength.

The roofing system is extremely heavy.  Customer does need a lift on-site for the installers to raise the roof.  The lift should be 1' taller than the leg height you want.

18x21 Carport and 18x21 Metal Garage

Steel Buildings are also built in many other sizes of carports and garages.

Regular Style Metal Carports

Alan's Factory Outlet regular style Metal Carports.  The regular style carports have a barn shaped roof line.  These are the most economical of the carport styles.  All carports come standard with center snow braces and 4 corner wind braces.  Additional braces are optional to make your carport fully braced.

5' leg height is standard on metal carports.  You can make the carport taller in 1' increments up to 12' leg heights.  Here is picture of a 12x21 regular style carport with 1' taller 6' legs.
This carport also has a second option of J-Trim.  J-trim seems confusing like what does that mean?  Well to help it make sense for you the j-trim is the side trim piece that runs along both sides of the carport where the roof sheeting stops.  A couple advantages of getting j-trim is that is does set the carport off from an aesthetic standpoint.  It also makes the carport slightly stronger as it helps lock the sheeting in place.  One of the best benefits you get by having j-trim put on your carport is if lets say you get it with the standard 5' legs or 6' legs that means the sheeting on the side will come down at about 5' or 6' tall and the sheeting is 29 GA sheeting which doesn't feel good if you hit your head on it.  Having the j-trim may not still feel good if you hit your head on it but it may feel a little better as far as you just get a bump with a sore head as opposed to the chance of a cut if your head hits the sheeting just right.  So j-trim may be an option to think about.  Here is a picture to get a better look at the j-trim. 

You can also take a steel building and close both sides for extra protection.  The ends can also be closed with a garage door on one end and you got yourself a fully enclosed metal garage.

Wood Storage Buildings or Metal Carports

Wood Storage Buildings or Metal Carports are two great products which both can be used for a many different needs.

As everyone knows one is made of wood and the other made is made of Metal, but that is just the begining of the differences.

Alan's Factory Outlet Wood Storage Buildings are Prebuilt by the Amish and delivered on a truck and trailer.  The Wood Storage Buildings are custom built to meet your needs with the style, size and colors to match your home.  They come painted with a shingle roof.  They also have double doors with a lock and two keys.  The key point about the Wood Storage Buildings is that they are built like a house with 2x4 side walls and 2x4 roof joists both 16" On Center.  Extra Doors and windows can be added and you get to pick the location of the windows and doors.  Another thing about the Wood Storage Buildings is they are portable which means if you need them moved they can easily be moved.  Not only does Alan's Factory Outlet have Wood Storage Buildings but Vinyl Storage Buildings are available.  

Alan's Factory Outlet Metal Carports make a great cover for your Car, Truck, Boat or Farm Equipment.  Metal Carports are going to be more economical than the Wood Storage Buildings.  Another Advantage that the Metal Carports have is they are built on site so if you don't have enough room for a Prefabricated Wood Storage Building to be delivered the Metal Carport can be built on site.  At the same time that same advantage turns into a disadvantage if you need to move the metal carport.  The carport can still be moved however it is a lot harder and each time you take the carport apart and then put it back together it loses some of its strength.  Another point is the metal carports do not have a floor where the wood storage buildings come with a wooden floor.  Metal Carports can also be enclosed and turned into a metal Garages.

One thing both the Wood Storage Buildings and Metal Carports have in common is they are custom built in the colors you want and come in many different styles and sizes.
