When The Olinger’s Airstream RV was damaged by hail, they knew it was time to find a way to protect it. Below is the story of why SteelMaster was the right choice…

“Our Airstream is our vacation home on wheels,” says Shyrl, who lives in Athens County, OH with her husband Gary. “We go to Airstream rallies and caravans around the states and in Canada.  These range from weekend rallies to caravans that can be from a week to six weeks or more.  Most of our travel is between April and October since we like to stay home in the winter.”

 

It was eight years ago when the Olinger’s bought their first Airstream trailer, which they kept parked on their property when not in use.  In 2007, a hail storm did major damage to the trailer, and that is when their journey led them toward purchasing a steel carport. “We did a lot of looking and research and found we could get the size and design we wanted from SteelMaster Buildings,” says Shyrl.

 

The Olinger’s steel carport features a unique clear-span, single radius, low-profile arched structure that is supported by a 14 gauge beams and posts system. It is protected by a Galvalume Plus coating, which means the Olinger’s will never have to treat it, paint it, or maintain it.
