While Virginia is categorized as subtropical, the state’s five different regions experience very different seasonal weather. Northern Virginia and the areas around the Blue Ridge Mountains in the southwest and the Shenandoah Valley in the west are cooler and can experience heavy snowfall during the winter months. The Tidewater region on the eastern side of the state and the central Piedmont region are milder, although flooding can occur along the Chesapeake Bay and the Eastern Shore during storm season, especially if a hurricane or tropical storm makes its way past Virginia on its way north.
When it comes to buying carports, garages, barns, sheds, and other shelters, there is no better option to face Virginia’s many seasonal changes than metal. Steel frames can protect against the harsh sun and heat in the summer and withstand snow and ice buildup in the winter. 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 Virginia, building permits are managed at the local city level. Most projects involving building new structures, including sheds and storage facilities, will require permits.
