Steel Structure Buyer’s Guide: Gauges, Coatings, and Warranties

When most people shop for a Metal Carport or a Custom Garage, they look at the pictures. They see a shiny red roof, a roll-up door, and a price tag. They imagine their truck parked inside or their woodworking shop set up in the corner. But when I look at a metal building, I don’t just see a structure. I see a Bill of Materials (BOM). I see coils of galvanized steel moving through roll-formers. I see tensile strength ratings, zinc coating thickness, and engineering certifications. As a Supply Chain Director, my job is to procure the highest quality raw materials that offer the best longevity for the lowest logistical […]

Concrete Choices: Slab Specs for Heavy Tools and Vehicle Lifts

In the world of logistics and supply chain management, we talk constantly about the “Critical Path.” The Critical Path is the sequence of stages determining the minimum time needed for an operation. When you order a Metal Garage Kit or a Custom Workshop from us, the manufacturing and delivery of the steel is predictable. We know the lead times. We know the truck routes. We can track the steel from the mill to your driveway. But there is one variable that sits squarely on your Critical Path, often causing delays or—worse—catastrophic failures later down the line: The Concrete Slab. I see it happen too often. A customer orders a robust […]

Boat Carport vs. Boat Garage: Which Protects Better in Your Climate?

In the world of supply chain management, we talk about “depreciating assets.” Few things depreciate faster than a boat left exposed to the elements. Whether you own a bass boat, a pontoon, or a 30-foot center console, the sun, rain, and ice are actively trying to destroy your gel coat and upholstery every single day. As the Supply Chain Director here, I oversee the distribution of thousands of Metal Carport Kits and Custom Garages annually. A significant portion of these orders are specifically for marine storage. When a customer calls us, they are usually torn between two options: the open-air Boat Carport (cost-effective, high airflow) and the fully enclosed Boat […]

Moisture Control in Garages: Dehumidifiers, Vapor Barriers, and Airflow

In the logistics and warehousing industry, we fear one thing more than a late shipment: Moisture. You can secure a facility with the best locks and reinforce the steel frame to withstand a hurricane, but if you cannot control the humidity inside, the inventory is ruined. The same logic applies to your personal Metal Garage, RV Garage, or Custom Workshop. You have likely invested thousands of dollars in the structure itself, and perhaps tens of thousands more in the cars, boats, or tools stored inside. Yet, every winter and spring, I receive emails from customers asking why it is “raining” inside their fully enclosed building. They see water dripping from […]

Insulated Garages 101: Stay Warm While You Work Through Winter

It is 6:00 AM on a Tuesday in January. You have a project deadline, a classic car engine to rebuild, or perhaps a woodworking order to finish. You walk out to your workshop, coffee in hand, and open the door. The air inside is arguably colder than the air outside. Your tools are frozen to the touch, and your breath hangs in the air like a cloud. You turn around and go back inside the house. Productivity: Zero. As the Supply Chain Director here, I see thousands of orders process through our system annually. We see the trends shift with the seasons. In spring, the logistics chain is clogged with […]

Boxed-Eave Carports vs. Traditional Garages: Which Fits Your Project?

In my role as Supply Chain Director, I spend a lot of time analyzing the movement of raw materials—steel gauges, truss systems, and sheet panels. But beyond the logistics, I analyze value. When a customer comes to us looking for a Custom Carport or a Build-It-Yourself Garage Kit, they are usually trying to solve a specific problem: “How do I protect my assets without blowing my budget?” Two solutions dominate these conversations: the Boxed-Eave Metal Carport and the Traditional Garage (whether that is a stick-built wood garage or a fully enclosed Metal Garage). The decision isn’t just about whether you want walls or not. It is about understanding wind loads, […]

From Carport to Garage Conversion: Permits, Framing, and Cost Breakdown

In the supply chain world, we talk about “scaling.” You start with what you need today, but you plan for what you might need tomorrow. A few years ago, buying a standard Two-Car Carport was the perfect solution. It kept the hail off your sedan and the sun off your dashboard. It was cost-effective and efficient. But needs change. Maybe that sedan has been replaced by a classic car restoration project. Maybe your “storage” has expanded to include expensive power tools, gym equipment, or inventory for a small business. Suddenly, an open-air structure isn’t enough. You need security. You need climate control. You need a Metal Garage. As the Supply […]
