Built for the Treasure Coast

Indian River County Carports Built for Treasure Coast Weather

Indian River County runs from barrier island beaches and the Indian River Lagoon to citrus groves and ranch land in the west. As a result, owners deal with hurricane winds, coastal flood zones, shoreline buffers and heavy summer rain.

  • Hurricane wind loads: sealed engineering for the design wind speed at your exact address.
  • Coastal lots: structures must sit landward of the Coastal Construction Control Line.
  • Riverfront lots: the river shoreline buffer is 50 feet on unplatted parcels and 25 feet on platted lots.
  • Heavy rain: vertical roofs shed water and debris fastest.

Our Indian River County recommendation

Vertical roof, certified engineering, galvanized framing.

In our experience, this setup holds up best to Florida storms and summer downpours. It is also what plan reviewers expect to see on the drawings.
