What You Need To Do So Your Carport Install Goes Off Without A Hitch

Use this checklist to prepare for your installation

Mark any utility lines running underneath planned installation site. If you do not know the exact location of any water, gas, or electric lines please call 811 to have them come out and mark the lines free of charge.

Prepare level lot: move earth if necessary to create a level installation surface. Sites must not be more than three inches off level to avoid any cut leg fees or other additional labor/ return trip fees.

The installation of buildings upon concrete retaining walls or on shipping containers will be addressed on a case by case basis. Please call our corporate headquarters at 800-579-8589 and press option 4 for more information.

All concrete pads are required to be at least 2” wider on all sides of the frame. For example: for a building that has a frame measuring 20′ x 30′, the concrete pad should measure 20’4” x 30’4”.

Clear any and all obstacles in and around the installation site such as cars, recreational vehicles, and debris to avoid a build over fee. Additional labor fees can be found on pricing sheets underneath additional options.

Installation crews need a minimum of 36” all around the building to fasten any wall paneling, end wall framing, and trim.

Have payment ready before installation crew arrives. We accept money orders and cashier’s checks made out to Eagle Carports, Inc., along with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Small units can be complete in less than an hour and often have multiple appointments in a day.

Any safety requirements must be disclosed to Eagle Carports, Inc. upon purchase of unit. Eagle must be aware of any safety training or safety classes/videos our installation contractors must complete prior to installation.

Site preparation is crucial to ensuring a smooth installation. Failure to adequately prepare your site could result in additional labor charges or even a return trip fee which is either $150 USD or %5 of the building price whichever is higher.
