The 14 Gauge Carport is our most popular style and is constructed using 2 1/2 inch square hot-dipped galvanized tubing. This unit does not have a warranty, but it is still a top quality unit, and that in no way diminishes its strength and integrity. The 12 Gauge Carport is constructed of more rigid, 2 1/4 inch square hot-dipped galvanized tubing. This unit is covered by a 20-year limited warranty which covers against rust-through on the frame itself. This unit gives peace of mind through higher tinsel strength and thickness of material, and is 25% stronger than 14 Gauge Framing.
