metal beams for carports

Core Parameters
Steel Types
Q235 and Q345 steels are commonly used. Q235 steel has a relatively low cost, good processing performance and weldability, and is suitable for general small - sized carports, meeting basic strength requirements. Q345 steel has higher strength and can bear greater loads. It is often used in large - sized or multi - parking - space carports, as well as in areas where special loads (such as snow accumulation, strong wind) need to be considered.
Cross - sectional Shapes and Dimensions
Common cross - sectional shapes include H - shaped, rectangular tube, and circular tube. H - shaped beams have good flexural performance and are suitable for carports with large spans. Their dimensions are determined according to the span and load of the carport. For example, the beam height may be between 150 - 300mm, and the flange width and web thickness are adjusted accordingly. Rectangular tubes and circular tubes have a simple appearance. Rectangular tubes are often used in occasions with high aesthetic requirements and certain space requirements. Circular tubes have better torsional performance and are often used in parts with high requirements for structural stability. Their tube diameters or side lengths are generally between 50 - 200mm.
Anti - corrosion Treatment
Hot - dip galvanizing treatment is usually adopted. The thickness of the galvanized layer is generally between 50 - 80μm, which can effectively prevent the steel from rusting and extend the service life of the metal beam. For some environments with strong corrosion, such as areas near the sea or industrial pollution areas, painting treatment may be carried out on the basis of galvanizing to further enhance the anti - corrosion performance.
Product Advantages
Strength and Stability
The metal beam can provide reliable structural support for the carport, ensuring that the carport remains stable under various environmental conditions. Whether it is to resist the daily wind load or deal with occasional harsh weather such as snow accumulation and heavy rain, it can effectively protect the safety of vehicles. The use of high - strength steel enables the carport to cover a large area, meeting the parking needs of different scales.
Durability
The metal beam with good anti - corrosion treatment has excellent durability. It can be used in outdoor environments for a long time without serious rust and damage, reducing the cost and trouble of frequent beam replacement. Under normal circumstances, the service life can reach 20 - 30 years, providing long - term and stable support for the carport.
Design Flexibility
The diverse cross - sectional shapes and dimensions, as well as customizable lengths, enable the metal beam to adapt to various carport designs. Whether it is a simple single - parking - space carport or a complex multi - layer, multi - parking - space three - dimensional carport, it can be achieved by reasonably selecting and arranging metal beams. At the same time, metal beams are easy to process and connect, and are convenient to cooperate with other carport components (such as roofing materials, support columns) to create an aesthetically pleasing and practical carport structure.
Selling Points Concerned by Purchasers
Cost - effectiveness
According to different project requirements, a variety of steel types and specifications are provided to help purchasers reasonably control costs while ensuring the quality of the carport. Q235 steel is suitable for projects with limited budgets but low requirements for carport performance. Although Q345 steel has a slightly higher cost, it can provide higher strength and safety, and is suitable for projects with high requirements for quality and durability. In the long run, the durability and low maintenance cost of metal beams also save expenses for purchasers.
Customized Service
Based on the carport design drawings, site conditions (such as space size, geological conditions) and usage requirements (number of parking spaces, vehicle types) provided by purchasers, suitable metal beams can be customized. This includes precise size processing, special connection method design, and personalized anti - corrosion treatment plans, ensuring that the metal beam perfectly fits the overall design of the carport and meets the personalized needs of purchasers.
Quality Assurance
Production and inspection are carried out in strict accordance with relevant international and industry standards. The quality is controlled from the source of steel procurement to ensure that each metal beam undergoes strict quality inspection, including mechanical performance testing, anti - corrosion layer thickness testing, etc. Quality assurance and after - sales service are provided. If quality problems occur during use, a timely response and solutions are provided to relieve purchasers of concerns.
