What size RV cover does a travel trailer or motorhome need in Inman?
An RV cover only works if the rig clears it with the air conditioner on the roof, so leg height is the first number to settle. METCO builds leg heights from 9 feet to 12 feet, and a tall fifth-wheel or motorhome pushes you toward the 12-foot option, while a pop-up or a small travel trailer can live under shorter legs. Widths run from 12 feet to 60 feet with no interior posts, so a single-slot cover for the camper or a wide cover that also shades the boat and the truck use the same clear-span design. Panels are 29-gauge steel roll-formed by METCO, on galvanized 14-gauge framing, with 12-gauge available if you want a heavier frame on an open, windy site. If you want a windbreak, ask the lot about closing in a side or the back, and a fully enclosed RV garage with a tall roll-up door is another way to configure the same building.
Where is the METCO lot on Hwy 9 in Inman?
METCO's Inman sales lot is at 6855 Hwy 9, Inman, SC 29349, on the SC 9 corridor between Boiling Springs and the I-26 interchange, and it is open Monday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm. The lot phone is (864) 216-8670. Boiling Springs is a few minutes southeast on Hwy 9, Landrum and Campobello are up US 176 and I-26 toward the North Carolina line, Chesnee is to the east, and Spartanburg is a short drive down I-26 or US 176. Bring your rig's length and its height to the top of the roof air conditioner, and the lot can size the cover or spec a garage door tall enough to drive it inside. The lot quotes from current steel pricing, usually within 24 hours, and will tell you before purchase whether your site in Spartanburg County needs certified engineered drawings. The full list of METCO's 28 lots is at /locations/.
Does wind in the Spartanburg County foothills change how a metal building is built?
Inman is in the foothills below the Blue Ridge, and open sites toward Landrum and Campobello catch more wind than a sheltered lot in a Boiling Springs subdivision. Two decisions follow. Framing gauge is the first: 14-gauge galvanized steel is METCO's standard, and 12-gauge is available for a wider building or an exposed hilltop where you want a stiffer frame. Certification is the second: whether Spartanburg County requires engineered wind and snow load drawings for your building varies by size and use, and METCO tells you before purchase if your parcel needs them rather than letting you find out at the permit office. On the ground, the Upstate red clay under most of the county needs a level, compacted pad with drainage graded away from the building, whether that pad is gravel under an RV cover or a concrete slab under a garage. The METCO crew sets anchors matched to the base you prepared.
How is an RV cover or garage priced from the Inman lot?
METCO prices every building from current steel pricing rather than a published list, so the quote reflects your configuration. Width, length and leg height set the base; a 12-foot-leg RV cover costs more than a 9-foot carport of the same footprint. Optional 12-gauge framing, certified engineered drawings where a county requires them, closed sides, roll-up doors and walk doors each add to the total. Your pad or slab and any grading are separate from METCO's quote, and interior finish on an enclosed building is handled by your own trades. Design the cover in the 3D designer at /builder/, or call the Inman lot with your rig's length and height, and a quote usually comes back within 24 hours. Delivery and installation are free within 100 miles, the crew typically sets the building within days of delivery, and rent-to-own with no credit check is offered on qualifying buildings.
Beyond RV covers, what else does the Inman lot sell?
The Inman lot carries every building METCO makes. Two-car and three-car garages with roll-up doors for the subdivisions around Boiling Springs; shop buildings up to 60 feet wide for contractors along the I-85 corridor; hay and equipment barns for the farms toward Chesnee and Campobello; storage buildings for a landscaping trailer or a small business; and barndominium and commercial shells for anyone finishing a larger space themselves. All of them use 29-gauge panels manufactured at METCO's Farmville, NC plant on galvanized framing, and all are clear-span from 12 to 60 feet with leg heights of 9 to 12 feet. The lot also sells 29-gauge metal roofing and siding panels for re-roofing a house or covering a porch. Whatever the building, METCO manufactures, delivers and installs it with no builder required for the shell.
