Hurricane Rated Steel Building Withstands Ida’s Fury
Nestled in a quaint corner of southeastern Louisiana, several doe-eyed donkeys and a few Palmetto horses slept away in their stalls as Mother Nature unleashed her swirling winds and torrential downpours outside. While Hurricane Ida ravaged the bayou, these majestic beauties remained warm and cozy in their hurricane rated steel building from carport.com. As a testament to our metal buildings’ superior strength and durability, this family’s barn withstood wind speeds from Ida that exceeded 130 miles per hour without even a single scratch. Our barns, RV carports are truly battle tested and manufactured to stand tall in the eye of the storm. Mother Nature did her worst, but our metal barn survived the storm.
Needless to say, hurricanes can pack quiet a wallop. Windspeeds that broach the 130 mile per hour mark, with sustained gusts that approach the mid 100s, can result in catastrophic damage. Even the best built stick built homes can suffer severe roof damage and collapsed gables. Roof shingles are routinely peeled away like the cheap sales stickers from our competitors’ inferior built buildings. But that wasn’t the case with our superior engineered and manufactured metal barn. We would never just ‘throw caution to the wind’ when engineering a hurricane rated steel building that is built to withstand wind speeds and weather conditions specific to your area.

When weather alerts and severe storm warnings buzz your smartphone late at night, you can rest assured knowing that your toys, tools and animals are safely secured.
Customization is also our forte. Just take a look at what this Louisiana couple did with one of our metal barns. By installing a few simple wooden stalls with metal gating, they were able to transform their hurricane rated steel building into the perfect animal sanctuary and storm reprieve. This particular steel barn features a traditional equine center structure, flanked by two lean-tos that creates a solid contiguous steel structure. Being the oh-so-clever and thoughtful animal lovers, this barn’s owners were outfitted their barn’s lean-tos with animal stalls, which freed up the center structure for farm vehicles and other necessary equipment. Such forward-thinking planning therefore created ample space to also protect their nice Chevrolet pick-up. Of course, superior hurricane protection isn’t just limited to bow-ties Fords are welcomed, too.
Vertical Roofing and Siding Can Bolster Hurricane Rated Steel Buildings
We’re not here to preach the insidious effects of Global Warming or debate the science behind climate change, but there’s no denying that severe storms, such as Ida, are growing in frequency. Hurricane Ida was one of the most powerful storms to ever make landfall in the US. In a cruel twist of fate, Ida hit New Orleans on the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. As you can tell, the irony is not lost on Mother Nature. If you don’t take measures to protect what matters most, this cruel mistress will reduce your belongings to rubble. Don’t take a chance when it comes to investing in superior protection. Superior vertical roofing and siding, emboldened by internal bracing, can add an extra level of protection an already superior built metal building.
