Insulation

Metal Building Insulation

Carport Anatomy

Eagle Carports offers two high quality insulation options to create a more functional, multi-purpose garage space that can benefit anybody. Adding insulation to a building is not only ideal for workshops, man-caves and recreational projects, but it is also energy efficient which can lead to saving money on utility costs (ex: heating and air conditioning).

Other common benefits of adding insulation to any custom metal buildings include extra protection from moisture, humidity and rust. It also promotes noise reduction which lowers the echo inside the garage as well as reducing outside noise as well.

Insulation Costs Formula

ROOF (Vertical Only)

Add 2’ to width and multiply by length. Ex. 24’ wide x 26’ long 26 x 26 = 676 SF x $/per SF

SIDES:

Multiply leg height by length by 2. Ex. 26’ long x 10’ tall 10 x 26 = 260 x 2 = 520 sf x $/per

SF

ENDS: Add 1.5 to leg height, multiply by building width. Ex. 24’ wide x 10’ tall 11.5 x 24 = 276 x 2 = 552 sf x $/per SF

Note: Double Bubble Type (Moisture Barrier) insulation is typically cheaper than 2” Fiberglass insulation

Anchor Types

TYPEAPPLICATIONPLACEMENTSIZE
ASPHALT ANCHORFor installation on asphaltTypically spaced 10’ - 15’ apart30"
CONCRETE ANCHORFor installation on concreteTypically 6” away from 1 side of each leg6"
EARTH AUGER ANCHORFor installation of any unit on the ground, whether it be on soil, gravel, etc.Typically spaced 10’ - 15’ apart30"
REBAR ANCHORPins baserail in place during constructionTypically spaced 10’ apart30"
*If proper anchoring is not possible, building will not meet rating criteria.

FLUSH MOUNT KIT

The flush mount kit allows you to use a concrete pad the same size as the building itself without extending beyond 2” or more.
Example: for a 20’x30’ building you would need
a 20’ x 30’ concrete pad.

Carport Anatomy

CONCRETE ANCHORS

Sometimes referred to as wedge anchors, contractors drill into the concrete and insert the anchor to fasten the building very securely to the concrete pad.

Rebar anchors hold the baserail in place

REBAR ANCHORS

Used in combination with every other anchor style except for concrete. Rebar anchors hold the baserail in place during construction to insure a sturdy installation.

Mobile Home Anchors

EARTH AUGER ANCHORS

Also known as Mobile Home Anchors
Used to secure the building in ground installations only.
They are double helical in design.

CERTIFIED ROLL UP GARAGE DOORS

Carport Anatomy
Carport Anatomy
Carport Anatomy

A certified roll up garage door is similiar to a regular garage door with the exception of a few differences:

Hooks/Teeth: On the sides of the garage door, there are teeth/ hooks that slide inside the garage door track when rolling the door up and down. Whenever a strong wind breezes through, these “teeth” grip the inside of the track, preventing the garage door from being blown away.

Larger Track: The track on the sides of the garage door are typically larger to accomodate the “teeth” on the sides of the door.

Location Requirements: While we offer these doors as an option for some, there are many places where customers are required to have a certifed roll up garage door based on their location. These places include the coastal region along with Colorado, New Mexico, and any other area with high winds.

Noise: Where these certified garage doors are built slightly different, there is a possibility that these doors could be louder than a non-certified garage door. While typically the extra materials used to make these doors are a huge factor, some doors might have stronger springs.

Please note all roll up garage doors are manufactured by Asta Door Company.
