Tennessee’s weather can vary dramatically depending on which side of the state you reside. On the mountainous eastern side of the Volunteer State, temperatures drop below freezing in winter months, and the area is susceptible to snow and ice storms with several inches of pileup. On the Gulf Coastal Plain, in the Central Basin, and in the Sequatchie Valley, temperatures are much more moderate.
As a landlocked state, Tennessee doesn’t see a lot of hurricanes but instead gets remnants in the form of tropical storm showers in the summer and fall. Tornadoes are also possible, especially in middle and western parts of the state.
When it comes to buying carports, garages, barns, sheds, and other shelters, there is no better option in harsh winds and storms of all types than metal. Steel frames can withstand high winds and won’t absorb moisture or warp due to precipitation pileups. Buildings made with metal don’t attract termites, insects, and other pests, making them consistently more stable and longer-lasting than wood in any weather.

In Tennessee, new buildings and new additions over 30 square’ will require a permit; however, state residential building permits are not needed for detached garages, sheds, barns or other detached structures that aren’t planned for living.
