new carport

[JJZ 109]

After reading this thread I'm thinking of going this route next year. I currently have a 25x30 steel Quonset style (called the X style) from Future Steel out of Canada. It's been serving the needs since 2005 but getting crowded.
Can these carport type building be installed on concrete piers to raise the height and then enclosed later? I'd like to be able to put my bucket truck in during winter when I don't use it. With boom all the way down I'm still looking at over 10' for height.

I belive you can get up to 12' legs.

I belive you can get up to 12' legs.

Probably easier & cheaper than messing with excavation, concrete & sonotubes. In the meantime I sent an inquiry for my requirements. We'll see how it goes. Nothing will happen until at least June/July of the coming year anyway.

After clicking on a link that specifically prices delivery & set up to New York state at Storage Buildings, Garages, Carports, Horse Barns & Gazebo Kits, I received an email several days after the inquiry stating that they do not service my area of the country.
Here's a paragraph from their site:
"Free delivery and installation on the metal garages and metal carports to Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia."
Here's Alan's reply to my inquiry:
"Hello Todd,

Thank you for checking with me however we do not delivery to your location and I do not know of anyone who services your area.

And we do not ship them to your location or allow pick up.

Thanks, Alan"

Maybe they just don't come as far north in NY as my location. Oh well, I've got all winter and next spring to figure out what I'm going to do. There are some local/semi local carport installers around. Next time I pass by one in my travels I'll have to note the number and see if they can do one with 12 foot tall legs.

Go on Carolinacarports.com. Some companies service areas are limited, but I believe Carolina Carports or TNT carports will deliver/install in your area.

Heading out to PA soon to get my new (to me) bucket truck. Will check it out when I come home. Thanks.

I bought from TNT about 8 years ago. I had mine fully enclosed walls and rear. Built front doors for it added basic lights and man door. Not sure of size but keep 45 foot 5th wheel on one side and Chevy 4 door dully and 17 foot boat on other side. 8 years no problems but I doubt it would take hit from large tree very well.

A quick peek at Carolina and TNT websites shows that both have some local dealers. Thanks for the leads guys.

No problem. Good luck.

Yeah, gotta love those Mexicans, huh? Thanks for supporting American jobs.

If the "Americans" would do the work, fine, but good luck!
