Popular in St. Johns County
From two-car carports in St. Augustine to boat covers on the Intracoastal and equipment barns around Hastings, these are the buildings St. Johns County owners ask for most.
Above all, shade and storm protection for cars, trucks and golf carts.
For example, extra length for bay boats and center consoles on the Intracoastal and Matanzas River.
Plus equipment and storage buildings for farmland around Hastings and Elkton.
Fully enclosed, and also fitted with wind-rated roll-up doors.
Similarly, 32′ to 60′ wide buildings for contractors, fleets and storage.
Built for the First Coast
St. Johns County runs from Atlantic beaches and the Intracoastal to farmland in the west. As a result, owners deal with hurricane winds, coastal flood zones, beach construction lines and heavy summer rain.
