Great service and delivery!
Easy shopping!
Received shed sooner than expected. Team assembled unit in less than a day. Great quality product. Have had many compliments from neighbors. Color combination allows unit to blend in well with surrounding area. Base floor plan (12x21) gives plenty of storage space and interior dimensions allowed a combination of 3 & 4 foot shelving (18" depth, 6' height) to cover two walls (one 12' and one 21') from corner to corner. No wasted space. Window placement was centered over one of the 4' shelving units that was half the height (3'). Couldn't have designed it better. Nine foot ceiling allows a very open feeling when working inside. Roll-up door is the best feature. Light weight, but solid feel. Easy to open and close. Dual locking on roll-up door is a plus. Vertical roof is highly recommended. Can't wait to see how it handles 6-12" of snow. Siding on other 3 sides hang about 2-3" below concrete slab so when it rains, very little moisture gets inside. Nice touch and looks very professional. Do recommend you place a water-tight gasket between slab and metal base frame to keep interior perfectly dry. Only one con and it's very minor. Wish screens on windows could be opened.
I wish that when building the car port there were better photos as you "build" it and add on extras. If it could update to show what it would look like, it would be extremely helpful.
The site let me price a building without the thicker steel and tie downs, but then I was called later and told that MD code required it and it would raise my price. Would be nice if the website notified me of that as I was building.
Easy breezy so far as ordering.
It's been great!
The Website is very easy to travel around to find all your information required to complete an order.
I am very pleased how easy it is to select options. Also, you provide a better selection of options then your competitors. At this moment I am very pleased, if installed and appearance is the same as described, I will be very happy. Thank You
Quick and easy ordering
So far so good.
Found the info on bracing confusing, hope I got it right.
The bracing was correct... The installation crew did a great job and I am very pleased with my carport, or in my case my boat port.
Easy to order. Quality work.
Great website & super informative video offered for tips on ordering.

Answer: I paid in October and it was installed in Dec last month.
Answer: Leave off the roll up doors. If you remove the Carolina doors you lose your warranty. But you can buy an opener and modify it so it maybe would work and lose your warranty on the opener if it quits.
Answer: No they deliver when they get 5 or 6 more buildings.
Answer: They use shady install contractors. I bought a garage online from Alan's and was sent a contract with name Carolina Carports on it. They are a total joke with 2 out of 5 star review. They've been out twice and still unable to install tiny 18x26 on new slab. I wouldn't hire them to put up a doghouse.
