Eagle Carports, American Steel Carports, and Carolina Carports are the three biggest installers out of NC. Personally, I would pick one of the first two options.

Hey, not sure if I'm responded too late or not, but hopefully I catch you at a good time. I sell these steel buildings and our contractors use base rail sealing foam. It's a 1"x1" piece of foam that goes under the base rail, is compressed, then the base rail is caulked on both sides. Here is a...

ah okay, thanks for updating the thread. That’s exactly what we do.

Do you have a picture? I’ve never heard of this and I sell them lol We do doubled legs (pic attached), where two pieces of tubing are welded together, but not for the base rail itself.

Definitely get a moisture barrier. There is a brand called CondenStop and another called DripStop. Both are great. You can also do reflective foil insulation (sometimes called bubble or double bubble insulation). Prevents condensation and will absorb water if any happens to leak through the...

Olights cough cough. Good lights, but proprietary batteries are never good in products. There's also just far cheaper lights that are objectively better.

Maybe I'm too much of a flashlight nerd 🤣 Kelvins are a measurement of light. The higher the K reading, the closer it is to blue. The lower the K reading, the closer it is to red. Daylight is about 5,500K. Ideal temperature for indoor lights (IMO) is about 2700k. That gives you a nice warm...

Good one. Do you have a certain color temp you prefer? I prefer warmer colors for inside the house, but maybe 5500k (daylight) would be best for inside the garage?

What are the best accessories you've ever purchased for your garage?

I can't speak for how all companies operate, but I worked for a local manufacturer in Indiana that handled Indiana and the four surrounding states. I also own two dealers. I do not know of any dealers, or as you guys are referring to them, brokers, that would give you a price, then swap it to a...

Weights honestly seems like a pretty good idea. Don’t overdo it obviously, probably just the minimum needed in order to make it work as desired.

Here are some photos of the gutter framing.

Gutter framing adds additional support to both the inside and the outside of a building for a future gutter install. I'll see if I can get a picture.

@ycgoat @Just_Steve A rat guard is a special bent piece of trim that goes at the base of your metal sheeting to prevent rats and other rodents from getting inside. This video shows it clearly.
