Why Shop Alan’s Factory Outlet for Carports in NC?
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, in most parts of NC, a building permit is required before you install a metal carport. There may be places where a smaller, portable unit may not require a permit. However, you’ll need one for all permanent structures like steel carports.
That said, building codes and requirements can differ from one place to another in NC.
Depending on your project, you may also need a zoning permit and even a sub permit for electrical, plumbing, or other works on the site.
It’s always best to check with your local county government or your city’s planning department. They’re the authorities in charge of regulations and other local ordinances for metal structures.
To get a metal carport permit in North Carolina, follow these steps:
- Contact your local county government or municipal planning office. They’ll guide you to the correct Authority Having Jurisdiction and the type of permit you need.
- Acquire construction drawings (we can provide those for you once you make your purchase), a site plan showing the proposed location of the carport, and other documents, like a receipt from public utilities.
While we don’t get the permit for you, our building specialists and exceptional customer service team can offer general guidance to help streamline the process.
Once a client in NC makes a purchase and has the permit and foundation worked out, 90% of the time, it takes us 30–60 days to deliver and install one of our carports.
The exact timeframe for your metal carport delivery can fluctuate based on factors like seasonal demand and your specific location. Our efficient carport installation crews will complete the setup quickly once they arrive.
Small 1-car carports take only a couple of hours. Extra-large carports are installed in no more than five days.
We’ll coordinate with you regarding the crew before installation to ensure your site is ready. Delivery costs are included with our metal carports.
No. Our metal carports are engineered for reliable protection and longevity, even in North Carolina’s coastal or rainy areas known for challenging conditions and the potential for heavy rain and snow. For extra peace of mind, upgrade to 12-gauge tubing, which comes with a 20-year rust-through warranty.
One of the main benefits of installing a metal carport, besides its longevity, is its low maintenance requirements compared to traditional materials like wooden structures.
Consequently, maintaining your metal carport in North Carolina’s climate is generally quite simple, requiring only:
- Periodically washing your metal structure to remove any buildup
- Occasionally, cleaning the gutters (if added) and ensuring they’re clear to prevent water buildup
It’s also a good idea to check that no debris is trapping moisture against the steel building components. With minimal care, these reliable steel buildings will continue to offer great service and resist common issues for years to come.
