Determine if your county or municipality requires a permit for your building. Please verify before installation begins. Permit requirements vary significantly by location.
Clear and level the installation area. Remove all underground utilities from the footprint. Ensure no overhead wires or branches are present above the site.
Once your site is ready and permits are obtained, Eagle Carports will contact you directly to schedule your installation date within your zone's lead time window.
Eagle Carports' professional crew arrives and installs your building on site. Most installations are completed in a single day. Please have an adult present during the installation.
Please verify whether a permit is required for your building before installation begins. Many counties in East Tennessee and across the Southeast require building permits for steel structures. Athens Barn Center can help point you in the right direction, but permit acquisition is the responsibility of the property owner. Failure to obtain required permits can result in fines and may require removal of the structure.
Everything you need to know about ordering, delivery, and installation of Eagle Carports all-steel buildings through Athens Barn Center.
East Tennessee is served by the Tennessee & Georgia Shop, which typically delivers an estimated lead time of 2–4 weeks from the time your site is ready and all permits are obtained. This is one of the fastest lead times in the Eagle Carports network. Lead times begin when your installation site is cleared, leveled, and permit-ready — not from the order date.
Permit requirements vary by county and municipality. Many Tennessee counties do not require permits for certain-sized structures, but some do — and coastal or urban areas in other states often have stricter requirements. Athens Barn Center strongly recommends checking with your local building department before placing your order. Eagle Carports will not schedule installation until any required permits are in hand. Installing without a required permit can result in fines and forced removal.
Your installation site must be: (1) Cleared and leveled — no vegetation, debris, or obstructions. (2) Free of underground utilities in the footprint. (3) Free of overhead wires or tree branches above the site. (4) Accessible for the installation crew and equipment. If your site is not ready on the scheduled installation date, your appointment may need to be rescheduled, which could add to your overall timeline.
Yes. Eagle Carports steel buildings can be installed on concrete slabs, asphalt, gravel, and directly on compacted ground using ground anchors. The type of anchoring used depends on your foundation and local requirements. If you have a concrete pad, make sure it's fully cured and the dimensions match your building's footprint before scheduling installation.
Eagle Carports installs all steel buildings. Athens Barn Center is an authorized dealer — we handle the ordering, customization, and customer service side of your purchase. Eagle Carports' own installation crews handle the physical delivery and on-site assembly. This ensures consistent, factory-trained installation quality. Eagle Carports will contact you directly to schedule your installation once your order is processed and your site is ready.
Yes. Athens Barn Center offers Rent-to-Own with no credit check required on most Eagle Carports steel buildings. Traditional financing options are also available.
