When investing in a steel carport, you invest in adaptable and flexible structures.
You will also be saving maintenance costs in the long run, thus, returning your investment amount several times over.
Suppose you have adequate height under the existing structure’s eave. In that case, you can easily attach a steel carport against the side of the building. Also called lean-to, an attached carport can be installed using basic pole-building construction.
Metal carports attached to house will also adapt to your changing needs over the years. Apart from functioning as a parking space, it can be a storage space for your valuable lawn equipment or other heavy machinery.
- To attach a metal building to your existing structure, firstly, you have to anchor the support header to your home.
- After dropping a plumb line from each side, on the free side of the carport, you must determine the positions of the outer support posts.
- Consider laying out the building using string lines and the triangle method when constructing your RV carport with a regular roof style.
