why choose metal tubing?
Strength and Durability
Metal tubing is known for its exceptional strength and ability to withstand heavy loads and harsh environmental conditions. Whether used in construction frameworks or machinery, it provides the structural integrity required for long-lasting performance.
Corrosion and Rust Resistance
One of the key advantages of metal tubing is its resistance to rust and corrosion. This makes it an ideal material for outdoor and industrial applications where weather exposure can lead to deterioration over time. Aluminum and galvanized steel are often preferred for their low-maintenance properties, ensuring your structures remain intact even in challenging environments.
Customization and Flexibility
Metal tubing is easy to work with, offering flexibility for cutting, bending, and welding to meet specific design requirements. This customization makes it ideal for a variety of applications, from creating custom frameworks to designing specialized equipment.
Long-Term Investment
Thanks to its strength, durability, and low maintenance, metal tubing provides a cost-effective long-term solution. It requires little upkeep, which makes it a more affordable option compared to other building materials over time.
14 Gauge
Corrosion & Rust Resistance
Galvanized steel is coated with a protective layer of zinc, which acts as a barrier against rust and corrosion. This makes it an ideal material for outdoor applications, especially for carports exposed to the elements year-round.
Durable & Strong
The 14-gauge thickness of the tubing adds an extra level of strength and durability. Whether you’re protecting your car, truck, or RV, the steel frame can withstand heavy loads, strong winds, and even extreme weather conditions like snow and rain.
Low Maintenance
One of the key advantages of galvanized steel tubing is its low-maintenance nature. Unlike wood or other materials, galvanized steel does not require constant painting or sealing, saving both time and money over the years.
Cost-Effective Solution
14-gauge galvanized steel provides an affordable yet reliable building material. It offers a cost-effective option compared to alternatives, making it a popular choice for both homeowners and businesses looking to protect their assets without breaking the bank.
Versatility
When used in carport structures, 14-gauge galvanized steel tubing provides a reliable, sturdy framework that can be customized to meet your specific size and design needs. Whether you need a small carport for one vehicle or a large structure for multiple cars and RVs, galvanized steel can be adapted for a variety of applications.
12 Gauge Upgrade
Corrosion and Rust Resistance
Thanks to its galvanized zinc coating, 12-gauge steel tubing is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. This protective layer ensures that your carport will maintain its structural integrity and appearance for decades, even with minimal upkeep.
Superior Strength and Durability
The 12-gauge thickness provides greater wall strength than lighter-gauge options, making it capable of supporting heavier loads, withstanding high winds, and enduring severe weather conditions like snow, hail, and storms.
Customizable and Easy to Fabricate
Despite its strength, 12-gauge steel is still easy to cut, weld, and customize. This makes it a great option for carports that need to be tailored to specific sizes, layouts, or additional features such as enclosed walls, doors, or windows.
Low Maintenance
With its corrosion-resistant properties and durable finish, 12-gauge galvanized steel requires very little maintenance over time. A simple rinse with a hose or pressure washer keeps the structure looking clean and professional.
Long-Term Value
While 12-gauge steel may cost slightly more than lighter gauges, its long lifespan, stronger frame, and enhanced protection offer a superior return on investment. It’s an ideal choice for those seeking a certified, heavy-duty carport that will stand the test of time.
