Deciding What Size Metal Shelter or Shed to Get That Fits Your Needs

Purchasing a metal storage garage is a big decision that takes some time to review and discuss. While there are several things to take into account when deciding on purchasing a metal carport or shed there are two items to think over that are the most important. The first is to determine what your metal storage shed will be storing and how big of a metal garage you will need to shelter those items. To help with those decisions, we’ve created a brief list of what items are most commonly stored in metal storage sheds and how to decide which size shed/garage to purchase.

If You Are Storing A Car

If you are purchasing a storage shed to house and store a vehicle, it is very important to get a metal garage that fits your car with space to spare. You will first want to measure the length and the width of the vehicle being stored as well as how tall the vehicle is at its absolutely tallest point. That will ensure you have a carport that is the perfect fit for your car. But what many people forget is that once the car is snuggly nestled in its new home, you still need to get out of the car without dinging the doors. If you are using your metal storage shed for a car, always give yourself enough width (usually a few extra feet) to get out of the car, as well as enough height to stand up without bumping your head.

If You Are Providing a Shelter for Animals

If you intend to use your metal garage to provide a shelter for animals it is important to take into account the type of animals you intend to house. For larger animals such as horse and livestock, you will want a much larger metal garage with openings for stalls and entrances. For caged animals like guinea pigs or rabbits, measure out the width and stacking height of the cages as well as the depth. Be sure to compensate for a pathway between each side of the cages and take into account whether or not you may need more space in the future and plan accordingly.

If You Are Storing a RV or Boat

RVs and boats can be stored under metal carports or in metal storage garages and each has its benefits. To further protect your RV and Boat form the elements, it is suggested to purchase a fully enclosed garage with a garage door. You would measure this the same way as you would if you were storing a car. Measure the width, length and height of the car and then add a few extra feet to the width to account for opening doors and getting out of the garage. Also, remember that if online prices only go to a certain height, contact us and we can discuss custom carport and metal storage garage options.

If You Are Storing Every Day Outdoor and Household Items

If you are using your metal storage shed to store household items, then you will want to make sure there is plenty of space for your items, with extra space to spare for organizing and walkways. If you have items that are temperature or light sensitive, you can look into custom options that allow temperature control as well as windows, skylights and lighting systems. Other custom features available are security systems for those precious and valuable items being stored.

The Metal Shelter or Shed That Fits Your Needs

Always remember to measure what you are storing and prepare for having walkways, organizing and extra space if needed. One important thing to remember is that we have staff on hand to answer any questions you may have, so if in doubt call us, and we will gladly provide you with the information you need.

Where to Buy Carports For Sale

Over the years, it has been known that buying a car can be more affordable when you purchase it used and not from a dealer. This can be true, however carports are completely different.  Cars are not like carports. If a person buys a used carport, they will notice that a carport  can easily be bent, if it’s taken out of one area and transported to another area.  Used carports aren’t worth the time and the energy. They can gain rust real quick. The only carports that are designed to move around are portable carports. However, it’s best that a portable carport is just moved around your home.

When going to a business to buy a carport, there are specific things you want to make sure of. First, do they have a specialization in carports? If carports are just a side product, chances are the carport will be cheap and not worth your invest. The best carports for sale are usually at places that specialize in carports only. For example, there are motor home dealerships that sell rv motor home covers, they usually aren’t the best and they don’t have much for variety. The best rv motor home covers are sold buy places like Keensbuildings, who specialize in motor home covers. You can tell we specialize in rv motor home covers, because we know our products very well and we offer a strong variety.

If a place that sells carports doesn’t have a strong variety of carports, there’s a chance you’re not going to make the best decision. It’s vital to have enough options placed in front of you for carports, so you pick the one that fits your needs.

Another great idea is to really look at the businesses reputation. Many carport places have bad reputations. With the internet and social media these days, you can have a very clear idea on who’s the best and who’s not. That’s Keens Buildings is so big on treating every customer with respect and being honest with each and every deal. We don’t like to make our customers mad. It helps with our reputation big time and we want to keep it that way.

Single Carports – Choose between Lean-to and Standalone Covers

When you’re looking for an affordable car cover, the most obvious choice is between a metal lean-to and stand alone single carports. If you have no space constraints, you could have a free-standing carport built to your specifications. On the other hand, if space is a limitation, a lean-to structure is the solution.

Lean-to’s are attached to the house and are constructed to blend with its architecture. You could have a flat or sloping roof, depending upon the pitch of the roof of your house. A sloping roof is ideal in a place with heavy snowfall as the snow slides off, saving you tedious clearing hassles. With the wall of your house on one side and strong metal roofing, a lean-to carport can provide your vehicle with the protection it needs.

Free-standing structures offer you a lot of flexibility. You can build your single carport as small or as large as you want to and locate it on a site of your choice – subject, of course, to your area’s building rules. There are several roofing options available for these carports. The standard single carport measures 12’X21′. Available in a pre-fabricated package, a stand alone steel car port can provide excellent cover for a car, RV, trailer, or boat.

Whether attached or free-standing, single carports have to be installed the right way. If you have simple technical skills, you could purchase a do-it-yourself package and set up your stand alone car port on your own. However, a car cover that is attached to your home has to be planned and installed carefully, and it’s best to rely on professional support. Purchase your single carport from a reliable dealer and benefit from a comprehensive coverage solution.

Buying a Storage Building for Your Home

Once you’ve made the decision to purchase a portable storage building, make sure you go about it the right way. This will save you time and money.

First, consider your purpose. There are many different types of storage buildings – outdoor storage sheds, portable aluminum buildings, steel garages, and carports. Do you want a cover for your car or are you looking for a storage solution for your tools, garden equipment or other stuff? Do you want a barn-type carport? Having a good idea about its purpose can help you make a decision on the kind of portable building you need and its size.

The site of your storage unit is important. It could be set up on crushed stone or rock, a cement pad or level ground. Know your area’s zoning laws and site specifications before you choose the location of your building. Ensure it has proper drainage and all the trees and foliage can be cleared. See that there are no underlying utilities or cables that could interfere with the installation.

Make sure you choose a storage solution that is built to withstand the weather conditions in your area. Certified storage buildings are engineered to meet state and local wind speed and snow load. Your storage requirements would also determine the model you choose.

Access is crucial. It’s important that entry and exit is easy. How else can you put in and take out stuff easily?

Consider your budget. One of the most remarkable things about buying a storage building is that you can customize it to meet your needs. This means that a reliable portable storage building company can help you configure a model to suit your specifications and stay within your budget. Don’t worry too much about finance, though. With the right company, you can get convenient financing with a no credit check option.

Keen’s has all the resources, manpower and technology to provide professional guidance on the selection and installation of a suitable and affordable storage building for your home.

Carports with Additional Storage Areas

There are carports that have been designed with additional storage areas built on to them so that the owner can enjoy having all of the great qualities that a custom built garage has to offer without having to pay an installation crew to build one. A carport is a structure that covers your vehicle or other large piece of equipment that must be kept outdoors such as a tractor or riding lawn mower.

Many people who own these items may not have a garage connected to their home and therefore they need to purchase a building or structure like a carport to keep their expensive lawn equipment or vehicle protected from harmful weather or other outdoor elements.

While a standard carport is able to serve the purpose well, a carport that has additional storage space added on to it offers even more benefits because it can provide you with extra space to store away smaller lawn equipment, garden tools, or large storage containers that are full of seasonal decorations.

There are also some carports that can be used as barns, and have compartments where livestock can rest and tractors or other farm equipment can be stored away. This is a very convenient option for people who have small farms with one or two horses or cows on their land. They do not have to invest in having a large barn built when they only need an area for a handful of animals to stay. These barn ‘carports’ are made out of high quality metals that are built to last and withstand everything that nature has to throw at them.

Many carport companies will also have metal buildings in stock as well that can provide you with adequate storage space for all of your lawn equipment or seasonal holiday decorations. These steel buildings can also add value to the price of your property and a metal building will hold up much longer and provide more protection than a standard wooden storage shed could.

The Many Purposes of Storage Buildings

Storage buildings can serve many purposes for homeowners, especially those who do not have much space inside their homes to store away items that are only in use during certain times of the year.

Storage buildings can also be very useful when it comes to providing a protective and clean place to store your expensive lawn care equipment such as riding lawnmowers or trimmers. You can also find large storage buildings that have enough space to store a fishing boat or other types of water sports equipment so that it will not become damaged from harmful winds and rains or other disastrous weather conditions.

You may also want to use a storage building to store away seasonal items such as Christmas decorations or equipment for summer sports and other activities like volleyball nets or swimming pool essentials which would not be in use during colder weather.

Some storage building structures like carports can be used to protect and store your vehicles, much like a garage but less expensive to set up and maintain. Carports are available in various sizes so that you can store one single car or several automobiles at once all under the same roof.

Storage buildings can be very valuable investments because they provide you with a safe place to store your possessions so that they do not have to be left in an area where they may be damaged by moisture, wind, rain, hail or snow. They can also provide you with more space inside your home if you have been using an extra bedroom as a place to store many of your belongings. Also, a storage building can help to add more value to your property which can be very helpful if you ever need to sell your home, or take out a mortgage on the overall value of your home.
