Gabled Roof or A- Frame Carports when viewed from the front have a shape similar to an " A " and are a style choice that matches with the pitch of most homes and businesses. Shade Structures of this type allow rain water to runoff from both side of the gabled roof and have an elegant look that matches most homes and businesses. The interior pitch of the structure will be taller than the side wall height and can be adjusted to the specifications of your choice. These Carports or Patio Covers can be detached or attached to the residence or business. Structural components will be dependent on the width length and height of the final design that is chosen. These types of structures typically have 4 or more posts to support the overall weight of the structure.
Flat Top Roof Carports and Patio Covers are more commonly used because they're are more economical than other versions of shade structures. Less cuts have to be made to the steel and overall construction of the structure is less complicated and uses less materials. These types of Carports or Patio Covers do not have a completely flat roof; we still add a 6" - 1' decline or incline to the structure, to allow proper runoff of rain water. These structures have a minimalistic and modern look to them and can be attached or detached to your residence or business. Structural components will be dependent on the width length and height of the final design that is chosen. These types of structures typically have 2 or more posts to support the overall weight of the structure.
Slanted Roof Carports and Patio Covers are similar to the Flat Top Roof Structures in a sense that they only come with one pitch. The difference in the two will be the grade of pitch that the structure will come with. Slanted Roof Carports and Patio Covers can have 2' inclinations and even up 3' inclinations depending on the design preference of the customer. Either way the structure will have enough grade to allow proper runoff of rain water. These structures have a unique and modern look to them and can be attached or detached to your residence or business. Structural components will be dependent on the width length and height of the final design that is chosen. These types of structures typically have 4 or more posts to support the overall weight of the structure.
Cantilevered Carports and Patio Covers are a unique and adaptive way to bring shade to an area with limited space for structural posts. Typically cantilevered structures have a single row of posts, with the roof of the structure usually hanging over both or one side of the posts. Post placement can vary depending on your specific need. Posts on a cantilevered structure can be placed towards the rear, front, or middle of the structure. These structures allow more maneuverability around the structure due to the reduced amount of posts or poles that are typically in the way with a 4 post structure like our gabled roof structures for example. These structures have a minimalistic and modern look to them and can be attached or detached to your residence or business. Structural components will be dependent on the width length and height of the final design that is chosen. These types of structures typically have 2 or more posts to support the overall weight of the structure.
T-Bar Carports and Patio Covers are a structure typically used in areas with minimal room for support posts. These modern structures can be placed in a variety of places and are well known for their "T" shaped structural design. T-Bar structures can be used in parking areas to minimize the amount of posts used for structural support and maximize the amount of space a vehicle has to park under the shaded area. T-Bar shade structures typically use a higher gauge of steel to support the overall weight of the top portion of the structure. Structural components will be dependent on the width length and height of the final design that is chosen. These types of structures typically have 2 or more posts to support the overall weight of the structure.
T-Bar steel structures are a type of steel shade structure that is characterized by the use of T-shaped bars as the main structural components. The T-shaped bars are typically made from steel and are used to create the framework for the shade structure. The bars are connected to each other with bolts, welding, or other fastening methods to create a stable and sturdy structure.
Advantages of T-Bar steel structures include:
Overall, T-Bar steel structures are a good option for those looking for a durable, low-maintenance, and customizable solution for their outdoor living space. With proper care and maintenance, T-Bar steel structures can last for many years and add value and functionality to any outdoor living space.
