You cannot just randomly decide on the size of the steel structure you plan to erect. To ensure that it goes in line with everything, you must counter check if it would fit the area designated for construction and of course, if it would accommodate it purpose and your needs properly. Not sure what size to get? Here is a general guide that will help in giving you an idea which to choose.
In every construction type, the sizing would always vary. And when it comes to steel building construction, it has its won standard way of measuring buildings. Additionally, the sizing also differs according to the type of steel building you are going to erect. And along with this is the need to consider the purpose of the metal structure. An example is in building carports. Usually the size of it would depend on the vehicles that will be using it and this concept applies to the other types of steel structures.
Choosing the appropriate height
Height is very important and should be carefully considered. In every project, you would need a steel structure tall enough to accommodate either your vehicle, RV, or the items to be stored in it. However, you wouldn’t also want it to be too tall as in can cause problems in the long run. Having a small structure on the other would harm and wouldn’t provide the adequate protection or shade against certain elements. Which is why, choosing just the right length for your metal building is highly essential.
Considering the Length

For a 21 feet length, in terms of carports, it can accommodate two standard sized vehicles. Thus if you are planning to store or house much bigger vehicle such as trucks, a longer unit would be required. To get the right length, it is recommended to measure the vehicle in question and add on 5 feet to its measurement.
