You probably want to hurricane-proof your California carport; it is something you’re already thinking about. But with so many different materials available for your carport, it can be challenging to decide which ones are best suited for an area prone to hurricanes.

You might think that the best building materials for your carport would be concrete or brick. After all, those are pretty sturdy. Well, yes—but they aren’t the best choice for hurricane-prone areas. Concrete and brick are too fragile, and they can break if debris from high winds hits them with enough force.

Instead of concrete or brick, we recommend using steel metals as your primary building material because they’re lightweight and flexible enough to withstand hurricane-force winds without breaking. You might consider coming to us for hurricane proof building  advice and consultations.

 

4 Things You Should Do To Protect Your Carport From Hurricane

  1. Installation

You’ve done the research and decided to go with a metal roof for your carport. You’ve heard that metal roofs are more hurricane resistant than asphalt or wood, and you’re not going to mess around when protecting your car from hurricane-force winds.

Of course, if you want a hurricane-resistant roof, sometimes you have to consider the installation process. You have to choose an experienced company in metal roofing to be assured of the process of installation.

If you’re worried about your carport’s ability to withstand heavy winds during a hurricane, we know how unsettling it can be. We’ll be happy to answer any questions about your metal carport’s resistance to wind damage before or after installation.

  1. Additional Anchorage

Hurricane proofing is one of the many services we offer. We’ve learned that hurricanes are not just a matter of fixing metal strands on the ground with some bolts and nuts. However, to ensure that the structure withstands hurricanes, we reinforce the metal structure with concrete. We believe that there is no use in building a carport if it’s not hurricane-proofed.

  1. Quality Construction Materials

The best way to make sure your carport can stand up to hurricanes is to go with one made out of aluminum or steel. A carport made of metals is better: aluminum framing and steel posts. These materials are strong enough not just to meet local building codes but also so they can resist being ripped apart by the types of winds you find during hurricanes.

So if you’re buying a carport and you want it to weather all kinds of storms, make sure it’s made with the suitable metals
