What would be a better value...one of the buildings from Mallett or a Carolina Carport type building?
Im in the market for a 30x40x14 and am looking into both.
Carolina Carport= My concrete guy can pour a 6 inch slab 31x41 for 7500 with metal keyways and wire mesh. Then the quote for the building is 20000 incl taxes, delivery and install. (3 10x10 rollups, walk in door and 2 windows). I got the building quote online from Alans Factory Outlet. So a total of 27500.
The mallett building appears to be a turnkey package that will run around 35000 (but thats with 4 inch fibermesh concrete)
Is the Mallett building worth the extra 7500 over my carolina carport plan?

If you go 6” you’ll want to use footers and rebar in the footers. That may increase your costs a little more, but still a good
Option.

I am not familiar with Carolina Carports, but I am with Mallett Buildings. First thing I would do is check the parish permit requirements for wind rating and etc. Through my experience I would pour a 4" 4000 PSI slab, with fiber, with a rebar reinforced footing with keyway for expansion.
I had to repour my slab at my own expense after Mallett poured it. The surface finish was absolutely terrible. Core samples revealed that spots were only 2 1/2" thick, and had honeycomb around the edges. Ida damage revealed that the wing of my #1 Mallett Building was put together with nails instead of screws.
I wouldn't recommend Mallett to build you a dog house. I would fear for your dogs safety!!!

Just curious if you learned anymore information on building comparisons. Did you check with Reed's Metal Buildings? I haven't dealt with them personally but they have been in this area for a long time. Anything is got to be better than Mallett Buildings.

Ordered a 20*36 from them on 9-19-20 and it’s still not delivered.

I have a 6” slab with fiber and metal and a 24x36 Carolina carport. Wouldn’t have done it any other way except to do a full 30x40 lol. I really like my building.
ETA I did have to wait about 6 months for my building tho. That was back in 2019. I imagine with covid it’s way worse.
