Why Metal Buildings Are a Must-Have in NC

Metal buildings provide reliable protection for a wide variety of outdoor structure applications across the Old North State. Consider the following:

Weather threats common to NC

North Carolina include both humid subtropical and subtropical highland climate areas, and averages nearly 4 feet (48”) of annual precipitation statewide. Summers in NC are noted to be hot and humid, bringing the highest amounts of precipitation. But NC winters can generate a fair amount of precipitation too, including several inches of snow, sleet, and freezing rain across much of the state. Hurricanes and tornadoes are perennial threats as well; in fact, the state ranks fifth in the nation for the number of homes that are at high risk of natural disaster impacts.

Strong metal structures benefit NC businesses

North Carolina hosts many key industries, including aerospace & defense, automotive & heavy machinery production, biotech & pharmaceuticals, business & financial services, textiles, furniture, plastics & chemicals, agriculture, food processing, IT, energy, tourism, and more. You probably know that metal buildings are great for residential applications, but they’re also well-suited for all sorts of farm, agricultural, commercial, and even industrial applications. If you have a need for a rugged and dependable outdoor structure, then Liberty has a metal building to meet your specific needs!

Metal Garages

Maybe you want to do more than just cover your vehicles and equipment; perhaps you’d rather protect them even more safely and securely. In that case, choose a fully-enclosed metal garage from Liberty Metal Structures!

RV Covers

A regular-sized carport isn’t big enough to handle an RV, but our metal RV covers are perfectly sized for accommodating motorhomes, campers, buses, boats, ATVs, and more. Great for sheltering tractors, farm equipment, and commercial equipment too!

Benefits of Owning an NC Metal Building

Another thing that’s great about our rugged metal buildings is that they’re perfect for your North Carolina lifestyle, as well as your business. Our structures are made with quality galvanized steel, and are stronger&more reliable than anything built with wood.

Gauge of Steel Framing

14-gauge is a common standard for steel building framing, but you can also upgrade to a thicker 12-gauge if you prefer. 12-gauge framing is better suited for enduring severe weather, including the occasional hurricane which may reach the NC borders. It’s easier to certify a 12-gauge building, too.

Gauge of Steel Paneling

The usual standard for steel building roofing &paneling is 29-gauge steel. This generally performs pretty well for most building needs, but you can also upgrade to a thicker 26-gauge paneling, should you prefer. As is the case with our other building customization options, the gauge of steel we use for your roofing & side paneling is up to you.

Roof Style Options

Whether you prefer the familiar rounded look of a regular roof, the house-like appearance of an A-frame roof, or the premium performance of a vertical roof, we can serve your needs at Liberty Metal Structures. We provide metal buildings in all three popular roof styles, and are happy to work with you to ensure you get exactly what you need.

Certification

A certified building is really a better choice for meeting the challenges of unpredictable NC weather. In addition, building certification is actually required in many North Carolina locations. And no matter what certification regulations may apply in your locality, Liberty can certify your building to meet any required minimum wind or snow load ratings.

Paneling, Door, and Window Options

Just looking to get an open-air cover? Maybe you want to add some partial side panels to provide additional shade and wind protection. Or perhaps what you need is a fully-enclosed building. You can have whatever you want in a metal building! You can place doors and windows essentially wherever you like, as well.

Gables, Trim, and Foundation Options

You can add decorative gables to the front or back of your building – or both! You can also choose to add decorative J-trim to any exposed paneling edges. What type of foundation do you want to use for your metal building? We have anchor options that will secure your building to any popular foundation surface, including plain level ground.

Colors

Who says a NC metal building has to be boring? We certainly don’t, and that’s why Liberty provides you with many attractive color options to choose from for your roof paneling, side paneling, and trim. Whether you want your metal building to blend in or stand out, we can help!

Preparing Your Site for NC Metal Building Installation

Liberty is happy to provide metal building installation services, but there are a few things you must do in preparation.

Choose your installation site

First, decide exactly where you want your custom metal building to sit on your property. Backyard? Sideyard? Front and center? Whatever your vision for building placement, our team will work with you to make it happen.

Obtain any necessary building permits

Many localities do require building permits for the legal installation of a metal structure. Just check with your local building authority to see what permits are needed. You’ll need to have any required permits in hand before we can install.

Decide your choice of foundation

The foundation for your metal building is completely up to you. Liberty can install on concrete, asphalt, gravel, even plain level ground. We don’t provide groundwork or paving services though, so you’ll need to take care of that beforehand.

Make sure your site is level

One essential task you’ll also need to complete before our installation crews arrive is to make sure your site is level. The only sure foundation for any building (metal or otherwise) is a level foundation.

Clear a perimeter around your site

It’s also important that our crews have enough space to work in performing your building installation. Clear away any trash, debris, or overhanging branches. Ensure there’s a buffer of at least a few feet on all sides of your site.

Things to Know About Metal Building Certification

In case you’re not familiar with the concept of metal building certification, here’s a simple explanation. A certified metal building is one that’s been professionally designed by a certified engineer, and is rated to withstand certain minimum thresholds for wind speeds and/or snow loads. In locations where building permits are required, certification is also a necessity for meeting the stated requirements. But whether building certification is required in your location or not, we still recommend certification to all of our customers. The added anchoring and reinforcements provide greater peace of mind for the building owner, plain and simple.
