Frequently Asked Questions

• • How long does it take to erect a 30×50 metal building?

One advantage to choosing one of our precision-engineered steel buildings is that they go up much faster than any stick-build. All of the components are custom fabricated to your specifications, and then are delivered to your site, ready to install. Our professional installer crews can often get a building like this assembled and finished in just a single day – you’ll just need to make sure that the site is level before we arrive!

• • What is the widest metal building I can get?

Thanks to the design advantages of working with light-gauge steel, we can provide you with a reliable steel structure based on nearly any dimensions you might need. 70’ is typically the width limit for a single steel structure, but we can also engineer combination step-down roof structures that exceed 200’ in width.

• • What types of anchors do you use for installing a 30×50 metal building?

We make sure that your building is properly engineered and anchored to stand the tests of time and usage. The type of anchors we’ll use to secure your building will depend in large part on what type of installation base you choose for your building – you can choose to install on concrete, asphalt, gravel, or level ground. We’ll match the needed anchors to your building foundation type.

• • What are my color options with Carport Central?

You can currently choose from a palette of 17 options (varies by location) for the color of your roof, walls, and trim. There’s no extra charge for single standard colors, but there is an upcharge for premium crimson, copper, or wainscoting options. With so many color options available, you’re sure to find a color scheme that will help your building not only look great, but also blend in well with other surrounding structures.

• • Will I need a permit for my 30×50 metal building?

Many areas do require building permits for the construction of a metal garage or building. It’s best to start by checking with your local city and/or county to learn about the regulations and building codes that apply for your projected installation site. Our specialists at Carport Central are very familiar with building requirements in most areas across the country, so we can help walk you through the permitting process.
