Most solar carports are rated 110–130 MPH, which fails plan review across the hurricane-exposed Gulf and Atlantic coasts. At 185 MPH the Maximo satisfies the strictest US wind zones. Combined with 60 PSF snow, it is one of the few structures rated for both extremes — relevant anywhere the design load is genuinely severe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Coating Is The Other Half\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eS350 steel with Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium coating. Zn-Al-Mg self-heals at cut edges and scratches in a way hot-dip galvanizing does not, which is what determines whether a coastal structure survives twenty-five years or corrodes at every fastener. On a salt-air site that coating, not the steel grade, is what you are buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWind rating: up to 185 MPH · snow load: up to 60 PSF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: S350 steel with Zn-Al-Mg coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: UL 2703\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModule orientation: landscape and portrait supported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfigurations: 2-car, 3-car, 4-car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUL 2703 Is Not Optional\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUL 2703 is the mounting-system standard covering bonding, grounding and mechanical load. Without it, an inspector has no listed basis to approve the array attachment, and many AHJs will not. Solar-ready structures that lack it become expensive engineering exercises.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIt Is Also Just A Structure\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eShaded parking, an outdoor dining or gathering space, RV and boat cover, equipment shelter for a farm.

A structure this size also needs foundations, a building permit and, in most jurisdictions, a stamped structural drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ChikoUSA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48233608380581,"sku":"KIT-CH0003-2","price":9200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0454\/1916\/7909\/files\/Maximo_3_car___07388.1783695928.webp?v=1788728338","url":"https:\/\/www.urbansupplyinc.com\/products\/chiko-maximo-185-steel-solar-carport-gazebo-kit-ch0003","provider":"Urban Supply Incorporated","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
