The installation time of a metal building can vary greatly depending on its size, complexity, and the weather conditions in your area. However, on average, it can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days to complete a structure. For smaller, standard buildings like carports, it can take just a few hours for installation. On the other hand, larger structures, like warehouses, may take a few days or a week to be fully installed.
Yes, you can install a building by yourself if you have the necessary skills and tools. However, if you are planning on a larger structure, it's often safer and more efficient to hire professionals. This will also ensure that your manufacturer warranty remains intact.
The choice depends on your building size, the soil type, and the local climate. However, we recommend concrete slabs for metal buildings as they provide better stability.
A good thickness for a foundation is usually between 4 to 8 inches. However, for larger buildings or buildings that will hold heavy equipment, the foundation may need to be thicker.

It’s a known fact that the lower the gauge, the thicker and stronger the material. Our 12-gauge framing, with a diameter of 2 ¼” x 2 ¼”, boasts of higher tensile strength, providing higher snow and wind load ratings. Therefore, we highly recommend the 12-gauge steel option for areas with heavy snow and high winds, as well as carports that are 10 feet or taller.
On the other hand, 14-gauge steel framing with a diameter of 2 ½” x 2 ½”, is the industry standard of frame thickness and the most widely accepted gauge for carports and metal structures. Both gauge options are structurally sound and will ensure the safe use of the metal structure. Although all our gauge options can be certified, we can only offer our extended warranty when you choose the 12-gauge steel option.
The cost of metal buildings can vary greatly depending on the size, design, and features of the building. On average, they can range from $10 to $25 per square foot for basic structures, and up to $45 per square foot for more complex designs. It’s best to get a quote from a reliable supplier for the most accurate pricing.
