Metal Buildings

• Regular: rounded edges with panels running front to back. The simplest and most budget-friendly look, best for smaller carports.
• A-frame (horizontal): a peaked, house-style roof with boxed edges, but the panels still run front to back.
• Vertical: a peaked roof with panels running from the peak down to the edge, so rain, leaves and pine straw slide straight off. It usually costs a little more.

Our recommendation: vertical. Because water and debris run straight off, a vertical roof is the one we suggest for most buildings. Tell us what you are covering and we will help you choose.

A metal building is not delivered in one piece. The install crew brings the parts and builds it right where it will stand. It does not come with a floor, so the frame sits on the surface you choose:

• Grass or level ground: fine for many carports and covers.
• Gravel: a clean, well-drained base.
• Asphalt: works if you already have a paved spot.
• Concrete: the most finished choice for a garage or workshop.

Every building comes anchored to its surface. The spot needs to be level and clear before install day. If you want a concrete slab, you arrange the concrete, and we can recommend contractors.

Metal buildings are listed as width x length x height. Height is the side wall (leg) height, not the peak. Measure what you will park or store, then leave room to walk around it and open doors. Taller roll-up doors and RVs need taller side walls.

Leave a carport open, close in one or more sides, add gable ends at the top, or enclose the whole building. Wall panels can run up and down (vertical) or side to side (horizontal). You can also close off a storage room at the end or side of a carport.

Add roll-up garage doors, walk-in doors and windows wherever you need them. A frame-out is a framed opening ready for a door or window you supply. Custom-size garage doors are special-order items, so they can cost more and take longer. If you want the crew to install doors or windows you supply yourself, that is an extra charge, priced by the metal building company.

Pick separate colors for the roof, walls and trim, and add a wainscot (a contrasting band along the bottom of the walls) for a two-tone look. Our 3D designer shows Black, Blue, Bright White, Brown, Burgundy, Burnished Slate, Charcoal, Clay, Galvalume, Gray, Green, Light Stone, Pewter Gray, Red and Tan, plus premium Bright Red, Copper Penny and Gallery Blue. Screen colors can look a little different in person.

Our metal buildings have a frame of 14-gauge metal tubing (the legs, trusses and other framing) covered with 26-gauge metal sheeting. Gauge measures thickness, and a lower number means thicker metal.

Some counties and HOAs require a certified building, engineered for set wind and snow loads. Certified and engineered options can be quoted, so ask us what your location needs.

Insulation (roof only or the full building) helps with heat and condensation, especially in a garage or workshop. Other add-ons in our designer include lean-tos, 1-foot roof overhangs, extra trusses, colored screws and a cupola.

Carports, garages and workshops, metal barns, RV and boat covers, lean-tos and larger commercial-size buildings. Our metal buildings are fully customizable, so you choose the size, roof style, sides, doors, windows and colors.

Every metal building is priced for its exact size and options, so we quote each one instead of listing prices. Send us your idea or your 3D design, or give us a call, and we will send your price the same business day.

Yes. Our free 3D designer lets you try sizes, roof styles, doors, windows and colors and save your design. Custom designs are priced by our team, so send your design or call us for a quote.

No, but you are welcome to. All three of our lots (Leland, Winnabow and Ocean Isle Beach) sell metal buildings. If you can’t make it in, we can handle your order over the phone and send you the documents to sign. Call (910) 240-2276.

No. Metal buildings are built on your site and sit on the surface you choose: grass, gravel, asphalt or concrete. Every building comes anchored. If you want a concrete slab, you arrange the concrete, and we can recommend concrete contractors. Need a building with a floor that is delivered in one piece? See our Old Hickory sheds.

Getting any permits is the customer’s responsibility, and the rules depend on your county, city and HOA, so check with them before you order. Under the North Carolina Residential Building Code, accessory buildings with any side longer than 12’ need a permit. The metal building company offers a service to help with the permit process, so just ask.

For most buildings, yes. We are an authorized dealer, and the metal building company’s crew delivers your building and installs it on your site. If you want the crew to install doors or windows you supply yourself, that costs extra, and the metal building company prices that work.

Once you send us a photo of your ready site, install normally takes about 4 to 8 weeks. Timing depends on the metal building company’s lead times, weather and holidays, and their crew puts your building up on your site.

Yes, rent-to-own is available on metal buildings. Ask us for the terms on your building. Our 90 days same as cash option is for wood buildings only and does not apply to metal buildings.

The warranty is set and honored by the metal building company. It typically runs from 90 days to 1 year, and we will share the details for your building with your quote.

We sell and deliver metal buildings in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and Tennessee. Our three sales lots are in Brunswick County, NC.
