How to Keep a Barn Style Carport from Deteriorating

Posted on by Mike Bolynn

No matter what style your carport has, whether it is a barn style carport, a pergola style carport, or a standard carport that looks like a box, you should always find ways to keep this structure safe from deterioration. This is to ensure that you get your money’s worth and you don’t have to spend on a new carport anytime soon. To do this, you need to have a maintenance plan for your carport, and this should include a weekly and monthly routine.

Whether your barn style carport is made out of a combination of materials or is made mostly out of metal, having a maintenance plan in place will help you keep this from deteriorating sooner than it should. Your maintenance plan should be in place the moment you purchase and install your carport. This is to ensure that your carport will last for as long as you want it to.

How do you keep your barn style carport from deteriorating? Here are some of the things you should do:

Create a maintenance calendar

Put together a calendar that indicates when certain maintenance procedures need to be done. For example, if you want to ensure that the metal panels of your carport does not rust or fall to disrepair quickly, you need to schedule monthly checks of these panels for dents, holes, and other problems that may introduce rust to the structure. Routine cleaning of the roof, wiping down and waxing the exterior, and other maintenance procedures should be added to your weekly or monthly maintenance schedules.

Always have the tools you need for quick cleaning procedures on hand

Having all the cleaning tools you need for your carport from the moment it is installed will help you with sudden cleaning work that may arise. For example, if a sudden downpour causes leaves to fall and stick to your carport roof, you will need a telescopic rake for this. Soapy solutions, grease removers, and other similar cleaning materials and equipment will help you get your carport clean as soon as you notice anything that needs cleaning on it.

Place your carport in an area that won’t make it prone to damage

If you want your barn style carport to last for as long as it should, you should always place it in an area that does not expose it to needless damage. For instance, if you can place it on a concrete slab instead of just tamped down the ground, it would be better. This is to ensure that no pooling of water occurs at the base of your carport, which can cause an imbalance that can damage your carport’s structural integrity over time.

These are just a few of the things you can do to help keep your carport from deteriorating faster than it should. Deterioration is a given when it comes to any structure. What you can simply do is to ensure that it does not happen too fast. If you find nicks and scratches on your carport walls, paint these over to prevent oxidation. If you find debris on your carport roof, remove these immediately to prevent moisture from staying on it longer than it should.

 

 

The Benefits of a Metal Horse Barn

Posted on by Mike Bolynn

As a horse lover, chances are very good that you picture a traditional wooden barn as the home for your horses. But there are a few factors that you should consider before committing to a wooden structure to protect your treasured companions. In fact, the actual wood used to build a traditional barn could pose several health risks to your horses.

Time Is Important

The time required to complete a wooden barn is much longer than the construction of a high quality metal horse barn. In most cases the barn arrives in large pieces and requires far less assembly than a wooden barn which would require footers and many phases of construction. This time savings means that your horses are protected onsite much sooner to reduce the potential for issues or injuries while waiting for the completion of a wooden barn.

Wood Could Be Dangerous

Carport US - Barn A-FrameThere are a few reasons that wood could pose an issue for your horse. The first is that some horses will bite or chew on wood which can create many health issues, especially if the wood has been moist and contains mold or other contaminates. Chemicals used to treat the wood, sealants or paint could also pose a health risk to your horses if they chew or consume any of the wood. Splintering wood can also cause injuries to horses. If a horse kicks a wooden pole or panel and it splinters, there is a great potential for a leg or hoof injury. However, none of these issues would be a concern if you invest in a metal barn for your horses.

Care for Your Horses, Not Their Barn

Any wooden structure is going to require regular care and maintenance. This can include sanding, painting or sealing. In addition, if there are any areas that do becomes damaged by the rain, snow or sun light, you will need to replace the damaged wood. Not only will a wooden barn structure continue to cost you money for supplies and weatherproofing but it will also demand your very valuable time. But investing in a metal barn will eliminate the need for regular maintenance and allow you to focus on caring for your horses and not their barn.

Invest Once

A horse barn in a big investment, not only financially, but also because it is a structure used to protect your horses. Making a smart choice and investing in a metal structure will allow you to spend more time enjoying your horses and will give you peace of mind knowing that they are safe.

Why Manufactured Barns Are Great for Horses

Posted on by Mike Bolynn

When you are in the market for a horse barn, you will want to review manufactured barns to learn about all the advantages that they offer. Most consumers think of a manufactured barn as a small, cheap or low-end option with very little ability to customize but that is a complete misconception.

Customization and Variety

Carport US - Barn A-FrameManufactured barns are available in just about any size that you might need. Lengths can extend beyond 100 feet and the height can reach up to 30 feet in some cases. The barn can be designed and outfitted to meet an assortment of needs as well such as a run-in shed, a center aisle barn or an indoor riding arena. The number of stalls and the size and shape of each stall can also be customized. You can even design with the potential to add more stalls to accommodate future expansion.

Time Is Money

Constructing a manufactured barn on your property is going to be a much faster solution to your needs than the non-manufactured option. This will allow you to be functioning much more quickly and have the peace of mind of knowing that your horses are well protected from the weather and safe on your property rather than a remote boarding location.

Quality

Your horses are more than just animals, they are loyal companions and you want to provide them with the best care and quality of life possible. A manufactured barn is going to offer the guarantee of quality materials and construction. Buying materials at a lumberyard or big box store can result in some lumber or other components being of a lower grade or standard. That is just how those businesses function and how they can offer some lower pricing on certain items. But a horse barn is a structure that needs to withstand a variety of weather challenges as well as just the test of time. And any structural failure could result in more than just damage it the barn. A failure could easily result in injury to one or more of your horses which is completely unacceptable.
