What material is used for RV covers?
Cold-formed steel is the material used in every structure.
How frequently should I perform a maintenance check of my RV cover?
After every major weather event, you should assess your structure, to look for scratches and dents. Otherwise, a seasonal check, as you would with beloved tools, should suffice.
How can I choose the right size of lean-to for my RV cover?
Side height is the measurement of the base leg, and not the apex of the unit. It’s best to be sure that your storage items will easily fit beneath the base, so you can customize with gables and other enclosures later.
Does your RV cover come with the same warranty as other metal buildings?
Absolutely, yes!
Is there any major difference between RV covers and carports?
The essential difference is in the legs: their height and reinforcement. RV covers are usually much taller, and, therefore, more top heavy. This means that the legs should be reinforced and anchored differently to withstand wind.
Will I be getting the same RV building I customized in your 3D designer?
Yes! If there are any issues with your design, our friendly experts will gladly assist you in addressing them and engineering solutions.
How can I decide on a roof style? Does it really matter?
Our website offers fantastic advice on roof styles and the weather conditions to which they are suited. If you have questions, our awesome associates will be glad to help! Choosing a proper roof is essential to your RV cover’s long-term sustainability.
What is the longest RV cover available?
Our RV covers can be extended up to 36 feet!
Does an RV cover require any specific foundation?
This depends entirely on your property and its soil composition. You’ll want to have a survey done before the installation of your foundation and have an engineer recommend the best foundation for your metal RV cover.
Are all metal barns the same?
No. We offer a wide variety of sizes and shapes! More importantly, every metal barn can be customized to your unique needs.
Can a metal barn protect against invasive species?
Absolutely, it can. Metal barns are professionally sealed during installation, improving energy efficiency and effectively weather-proofing the interior. Without wood framing available to tempt termites and other pests, you won’t need to worry about spraying pesticides or painting toxic chemicals over your barn. Bugs won’t be interested in munching on your cold-formed steel frame.
Does a metal barn add value to my property?
A certified metal barn from Liberty Metal Structures adds a lot of value to a property. Simply call your local insurance company, and you will discover that metal structures are insured at a lower premium because they are expected to last longer and require less maintenance than timber structures.
I have a metal garage; can I convert it into a barn?
If your building is a model from Liberty Metal Structures, we can help you modify and customize it however you choose!
Which is better? A metal shed or a metal barn?
This is absolutely dependent on the use of the facility; you can customize the structure for whatever activity you require. A shed may be better for storage, while a barn may be better for livestock, but either structure can be customized with doors and windows to accommodate your unique requirements.
I have a barn; may I use it for parking as well?
Of course! Our barns are rated for extreme weather, so they will provide excellent protection for your vehicles.
May I install insulation in my metal barn?
Yes! In fact, a minimum of insulation is necessary for excellent energy efficiency because metal barns are so well sealed.
Are there different barn kits for farm barns?
We offer a wide variety of barn kits. You can customize metal barn kits as well, so whatever you’re looking for, we’re sure to have it in our metal barn kits!
How long does it take to get a building?
Approximately six weeks; with current market conditions, it may take up to eight weeks. Most importantly, our representatives will give you an accurate lead time, so that you can make adjustments to your property and your calendar.
Are metal buildings insulated?
Our standard metal buildings are not insulated, but we offer insulation and installation as part of our custom options! Because metal buildings are so energy-efficient, a little insulation will go a long way.
What metal building storage size I should choose for my farm?
Look at our 48’x36’ drop down barn! It’s a beautiful beginning for any farmyard! If you need more space for livestock, consider a wider frame. If you need more space for parking equipment, check out the lean-to options.
Can I have storage space with any metal building?
Absolutely! We recommend you spend creative time with our 3D visualizer! You can add lean-to storage or enclosed space to our designs.
Will reducing a door or window save money?
Your cost estimate will depend entirely on the original building and its custom options. Of course, if you live in a warm climate and the extra windows are for ventilation, you may recoup any custom pricing with energy savings in the long run. If you have concerns about custom costs, reach out to one of our fantastic experts, who are happy to find a building that suits your budget.
How do I choose the ideal size for my metal building?
If you’ve spent hours comparing dimensions and roofs, call us! We are happy to provide expert advice and encouragement! Your ideal building will depend on your unique needs, and you know that Liberty Metal Structures will not rest until we find the building that satisfies you!
Is it necessary to have ventilation in an agricultural storage building?
Yes. Ventilation is necessary in all metal buildings. Because metal is highly conductive, and the energy-efficient seal traps heat, the interior is prone to collect moisture if not properly ventilated.
What does your warranty cover?
We cover everything! Liberty Metal Structures guarantees our workmanship with a one-year warranty, every steel panel with a ten-year warranty, and the whole structure with a twenty-year rust-through warranty. We want every customer to be completely satisfied. At Liberty Metal Structures, we aren’t just building a building, we are building a relationship!
How can I learn more about the dimensions of metal garages?
There are standard garage dimensions that you can use to estimate what you require, depending on what you are looking to store. For example, a 12’ garage will accommodate a single car or truck, while a 26’ will easily fit three midsized vehicles; these garages are usually 6’ tall. Past 31’ wide, most custom garages will be designed in 5’ increments, but these larger widths will require heights of 8’.
Is it legal to convert a garage into a living room?
Absolutely! As with all building projects, you’ll want to check local zoning ordinances and building codes, but converting your metal building into a living room or guest space is a fantastic investment! You’ll find that the energy efficiency of metal buildings will make insulating costs minimal. Do a quick survey for proper ventilation and utilities before you move on to comforts like flooring and interior design. The clear span design of metal buildings makes conversion easy!
May I see different colors on one of your existing buildings?
Of course! We have an incredible 3D visualizer available on our website! Feel free to customize with colors, windows, doors, and roofing options.
Can I see the real-time pricing of customization, or will it reflect later on my bill?
At Liberty Metal Structures, we care about accuracy and reliability. There are no hidden surprises here! Our delivery and installation are free! When you use our 3D estimator, you can see structure and customization costs in real-time, right here on our website! If you have more questions, call one of our helpful experts at 875-516-5544, and they will be happy to reassure you. What you see is what you get!
Do metal garages need special spray, like wooden ones, to maintain them?
No. Galvanized metal doesn’t require any extra sealant to maintain its beauty.
Can I have the insulation option for metal garages?
We can offer up to three feet of interior insulation! But, our energy-efficient buildings rarely require that much because they are professionally sealed at installation.
What roof style should I choose if I have mild weather in my area?
If your weather is mild, a regular or A-frame(“boxed-eave”) style may provide all the structural integrity you need. Feel free to discuss wind and snow ratings with one of our helpful experts at Liberty Metal Structures!
Can I store my livestock in the storage space of a garage?
Our metal buildings can be customized with enclosed or open sides, depending on you and your animals’ ventilation needs. Remember that you’ll want to consider foundation and utility requirements before your building arrives, but our customization options are available to tailor every part of the building to you! Whether your horses need extra windows, or your sheep want a cozy corner, we can accommodate!
What would be the ideal size for a two car garage, since are so many options on your website?
We recommend an 18’ garage for two compact cars, and 22’ for two full-sized vehicles.
What do you cover under the warranty for your metal garage?
We cover everything! Liberty Metal Structures guarantees our workmanship with a one-year warranty, every steel panel with a ten-year warranty, and the whole structure with a twenty-year rust-through warranty. We want every customer to be completely satisfied. At Liberty Metal Structures, we aren’t just building a building, we are building a relationship!
How can I choose the right height for my carport?
The height of your carport will be measured at the side panel, or wall leg. So, if you order a structure that is 12’ wide with a 5’ leg height, it’s center clearance will be 7’3”, with a height in the very center peak of 7’9”. But the clearance for your vehicle is typically measured as the side height (5’). If you need a higher leg, it’s easy to customize with Liberty!
How can I measure the size I need before placing an order for carport?
There are basic measurements we recommend. For example, 12’ wide is good for a single compact car. 20’ wide is usually enough room for two midsized vehicles, and we recommend 30’ for three.
How can I use the 3D designer of your website?
We recommend beginning with size, then adding a roof. Clicking on the different tabs should change the building in your visualizer and allow you to see the custom changes in real-time. You can adjust adding or removing walls, according to your design tastes. You can also add or remove doors and windows, etc.
How long will a metal carport last?
Our high-quality carports are built to last a lifetime! Most metal buildings are estimated at fifty years (or more!).
I have one car carport. How can I utilize it further?
Your carport is a versatile space; it can be your workshop, your new art studio, your outdoor gym, or your picnic shelter!
I love one of the carports on your website; can I change the color and size?
Absolutely! We offer many custom options! Please, call one of our helpful representatives today at 875-516-5544!
How many entries can I have in one carport?
It depends on the size and enclosed walls you customize into your carport project; use our 3D visualizer to create a simulation of your perfect carport or talk to one of our experts at 875-516-5544 for more details.
How much time does the installation process take?
Once you’ve placed an order, we’ll have your carport delivered and installed within six to eight weeks!
Can I customize a storage area with my carport?
You absolutely can, provided it is a structure designed by Liberty. We offer incredible design options!
Does a metal carport kit provide the same structure as you provide on your site?
Yes, and you can customize a metal carport kit as well.
