Commercial Carports – Strong with So Many Application Possibilities

Commercial carports can suit a variety of business needs for storage and weather-protection. They are strong structures with the ones made out of metal being a more affordable and low-maintenance option compared to those made of wood. Depending on the specific requirement, they can be installed on gravel, ground or concrete surfaces.

Multiple Applications

Some of the possible applications of these carports are:

  • Car rental agencies can use them to protect their fleet of vehicles
  • They provide adequate cover for outdoor events
  • Large ones can be used to provide shade to livestock or horses or to store big tractors
  • They can be used to protect farm equipment and machinery
  • Small ones can provide cover for vegetable/fruit stands
  • Ideal shelter for outdoor retail displays
  • Parking for staff, tenants or customers
  • Completely enclosed models can be outfitted as offices, workshops or distribution centers

Other Advantages

There are other reasons why commercial carports are a great investment. They have several customization options including a wide range of color choices. Certified models provide the guarantee of having satisfied all building code and permission rules imposed by your state, county or city. Financing options are available for the carports and you can have them professionally installed by your dealer.

Solar Panels on Commercial Carports Save Companies Money

Companies nationwide are saving on energy costs and helping to improve the local environment by installing solar panels atop their commercial carports and buildings. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 is spurring such efforts by granting funds for projects that result in a significant energy conservation and money savings benefit.

San Bernadino, CA’s Economic Development Agency this month reported that the recent installation of 1,400 solar panels atop its downtown building cut $7,000 from its $12,000 monthly electric bill. Las Vegas officials expect to cut city electrical costs by $300,000 a year via a plan to install solar panels atop carports serving city buildings. And on a much smaller, but equally impressive scale, officials in Bexley, Ohio are considering installing four commercial carports topped with solar panels in the parking lot of its police station, a move estimated to save the city $338,560 over 25 years. Companies of any size can benefit. And at Keen’s Portable Buildings, we think utilizing carports in ways that help save energy, cut costs and otherwise positively contribute to a community is a great idea.

Commercial carports by Keen’s Portable Buildings are made of sturdy 14-gauge standard steel tubular framing and 29-gauge standard steel roof and side panels. So they’re able to support solar panels used to capture and harvest energy for lighting in your carport and for your nearby building. Our metal commercial carports also can be certified to withstand heavy snow loads and wind speeds of 110mph, 130mph and 150mph, assuring that your full investment is protected.
