Let carport.com take a load-off from your winter weather worries
Don’t let the unseasonable temperatures fool you. Winter is upon us. While most the nation has been blessed with mild weather so far, a fierce arctic blast could suddenly snap us back to reality and decimate our dreams of an early spring.
Winter’s late arrival is in stark comparison to last year’s chain of events. In early December, much of the east was blanketed in two feet of powdery white snow! Up to three feet fell in some locations and thousands were without power for days. Some of the region’s less experienced winter warriors remained stranded at home for several days.
Our home office in western North Carolina was hit particularly hard by this storm. The storm began in earnest late one Saturday night and continued until the following Monday. Unsurprisingly, the region’s infrastructure and city streets remained dormant, trapped in a temporary Winter Wonderland.
Carport.com stands above and beyond the competition
With such a heavy and sudden snowfall, many businesses and homes saw their roofs crumple under the intense weight and special. Carports, garages and outbuildings were especially susceptible to this winter strain as several unattached structures bended under the insurmountable snow load. And what did these destroyed units have in common? None of those carports or garages carried the trusted orange and black seal of approval from Elephant Structures and Carport.com. That’s right. Not a single customer reported a compromised carport or garage due to the excessive snow load and wind.
Steel protection can prevent destruction
Destruction is never welcomed. Our deepest sympathies go out to those individuals who lost property as a result of the freak winter storm. Despite the unwarranted despair, there is a silver lining to this caveat of winter’s destructive nature. Highly engineered protection that can withstand the elements does exist and it is affordable.
Certified to withstand Mother Nature’s Full Fury
Our base model carports and garages can withstand 130 mile per hour winds and can offer snow load protection up to 35 per square feet of roof space. For larger and certified units, this protection threshold increases to 145 mile per hour winds and 45 square feet or protection. From tornado alley to the snow prone northeast, Elephant Structures and Carport.com offer unrivaled and unprecedented protection!
