Yes, free premium shipping is included with all building and carport kits purchased online.

Most covered pallet kits or frame bundles will deliver on a flatbed truck with attached forklift for easy curbside offloading by the driver. If flatbed with forklift delivery is unavailable in your area, then LTL freight truck delivery will be used. LTL curbside delivery requires you to have a means to unload, either a forklift (or equivalent). Smaller pallets or bundle wrap components can be hand unloaded. The LTL driver will not hand unload your order. All components are typically easy to manage, and for two able-bodied people, a shipment can be unloaded in a short amount of time. You will be contacted 24-48 hours prior to your scheduled delivery. As another option, you may also request your shipment held at the local freight terminal for your pickup.

Sales tax must be collected on purchases that deliver to the states of Tennessee, Arizona and Idaho.

Ground anchoring requires VersaTube rebar anchors centered in post holes and backfilled with concrete. Anchoring to a concrete slab or concrete footing requires concrete wedge anchor bolts. Anchors are provided with each building and carport kit. You will make your selection prior to checkout.

With the assistance of friends and family members, most carport units can be assembled in one day – two days at the most (for larger carports). For smaller buildings and garages, once your site preparation is completed, you should be able to install the frame in one day and the sheet metal the next day. Larger buildings and garages may require more days depending on the available help you have, cooperating weather, and your own personal schedule.

Additional interior truss bracing and 26 gauge sheet metal are available options if you are building in a higher snow load and/or wind load area and local code requirements must be achieved. Call a VersaTube Sales Engineer (1-800-810-2993) with your load requirements and questions.

Our Slip-Fit frame connection design will allow you to easily add additional length to your existing structure by adding base rails and truss sections. Once your building or carport is assembled with sheet metal roof and siding panels installed, it may be a bit of a challenge to modify the width and the height of your unit.
