Why Custom-Built Carports Are Better Than Metal Carport Kits
At Longhorn Storage Solutions, we’re frequently asked, “Why should I pay more for your team to build my metal carport when I can buy a steel carport kit that’s cheaper and supposedly easy to assemble?”
The answer to that depends on a few key factors, particularly how handy you are. While carport kit manufacturers often boast about how easy their products are to assemble, the reality can be different—especially if assembling flat-pack furniture isn’t your strong suit.
Another factor is your project timeline and the help you’ll have. Our custom-built carports have a 2-4 week lead time, but once our crew arrives, we can have your metal carport up and ready in just a few hours.
Let’s take a closer look at how a steel carport kit compares to a custom-built steel carport from Longhorn Storage Solutions.
What Are Metal Carport Kits?
Metal carport kits come in a large package that includes all the materials needed to build a metal carport—but not the expertise. You’ll have to do the assembly yourself, which can be more time-consuming and labor-intensive than you might expect.
How Are Custom-Built Metal Carports Different?
A custom-built metal carport is designed and constructed by our expert crews according to your specific needs and preferences. Every detail is customized to meet your requirements, ensuring that the finished product is exactly what you envisioned.
Custom-built carports provide a higher-quality product because they’re constructed by professionals with extensive knowledge and experience. This customization covers the size, materials, and features of the carport, all tailored to meet your exact needs.
Customization Matters
When it comes to enhancing your property, customization is key. Carport kits can’t offer the unique, personalized touch that comes with a custom-built carport. Just as you wouldn’t settle for a cookie-cutter home, why settle for a cookie-cutter carport?
Custom-built carports are designed to complement your home and property. They come in a variety of styles and sizes, and they can even be installed on uneven ground, potentially saving you the cost of property grading.
A custom steel carport is a step above a kit. It uses high-quality materials and construction methods, similar to those used in homebuilding, but with fewer parts and a more straightforward assembly process. Additionally, a custom carport can be designed to accommodate any size vehicle or boat, with options for extra light or awnings to protect your vehicles.
