While You Wait

Waiting for your carport to be installed might feel like the toughest part of the buying journey. However, your patience will pay off with years of benefits once your new carport is up.

In order to provide the best quality metal structures at the lowest possible price, our deliveries must be grouped into batches.

This is how the scheduling process works:

1

You get a permit and prepare the site.

2

You let us know you are ready for installation.

3

Your job is put into a queue of orders.

4

When there are enough orders to schedule a job route in your area, you will receive a call informing you of the day your carport will be installed.

Unfortunately, this means that you won’t know your installation day until a few days in advance.

Also, since your installation will be part of a multiple-day route, if the crew runs into problems with a building they are installing before yours, they’ll need to call you to push the installation time back.

They may even need to reschedule your installation for the next route. Hopefully this inconvenient situation won’t happen to you, but I trust you understand the challenges that the installers sometimes face.

Depending on the size and location of your order, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months for your carport to arrive. On my website’s estimated delivery time page you can find estimated delivery times for your area by entering your zip code.

In a few cases, the wait time is much longer than expected, but most orders are delivered within the estimated time frames.

I know it can be frustrating to wait for your carport when you don’t know exactly when it will be delivered. If the wait time for your installation doesn’t work out for you, you can always get a full refund of your deposit. But a little patience will pay off—and soon you’ll have a beautiful, high-quality steel carport and the many benefits that come with it.

Once your carport has been installed, please send me some photos or a video! Every month I give a $250 Amazon gift card to one person who has shared a photo that month, and a $500 gift card for someone who has sent in a video. I’d love to see how your carport looks once it’s installed and put to good use.

Speaking of which, have you ordered your carport yet? The faster you order it at alansfactoryoutlet.com, the faster it will be delivered, so be sure to place your order as soon as possible.

Final Thoughts

I hope this guide has been helpful as you research and plan your carport. If you happen to have any questions that I didn’t answer in this guide, give me a call or contact me through my website, and I’ll be glad to help.

I wish you all the best in your carport buying journey!

Thank you,
