Metal carport guide

What you can specify on a Carport.com carport

Every unit is custom-built from American steel — no two have to match. Pick a roof, then decide how open or enclosed the sides and ends should be. Windows, walk-in doors, and roll-up garage doors are available if you want them.

Three roof options

  1. Regular — arched roof with horizontal panels and rounded corners.
  2. A-frame (boxed-eave) — classic gable roof with horizontal panels.
  3. Vertical — boxed-eave shape with vertical panels so rain and snow shed; more durable.

Open, partial, or enclosed

  • Leave the sides open, or add gabled ends.
  • Half or full side walls; closed front or back.
  • Walk-in doors, windows, or roll-up garage doors.
  • Several roof, wall, and trim colors. Anchor to a foundation for wind.

  • Carport kits for do-it-yourself assembly.
  • Engineer certification available where a permit requires it.
  • Design online for an instant local price, or call (855) 227-7678.

Metal carport vs. metal garage

A carport is an open cover for shade, rain, and snow. A garage adds enclosed walls and a door so vehicles and tools stay locked. If you need a workshop or year-round security, see metal garages. Need extra height for a motorhome? See RV carport covers — or add walls to a carport in the designer.

Great uses for a steel carport

  • Car, truck, or two-car parking
  • Boat, trailer, or equipment cover
  • RV and camper shade (or shop RV covers)
  • Picnic area or family gatherings
  • Open workshop or auto repair
  • General weather shelter

Metal carport questions

What is a metal carport?

A metal carport is an American-steel frame with a roof that covers cars, trucks, boats, RVs, and equipment. Sides can stay open, or you can add gabled ends, half or full side walls, and a closed front or back. Carport.com builds them to the width, length, height, roof style, and colors you choose.

What is the difference between a metal carport and a metal garage?

A carport is an open (or partially enclosed) steel cover. A garage is fully enclosed with walls and typically a roll-up door, so vehicles stay locked and weather-tight. You can start with a carport and add walls later, or shop enclosed buildings on the garages page.

What roof styles are available on a metal carport?

Three. Regular is an arched roof with horizontal panels and rounded corners. A-frame (boxed-eave) is a classic gable with horizontal panels. Vertical uses the same boxed-eave shape with vertical panels so rain and snow shed more cleanly — the most durable option.

Can I enclose a metal carport?

Yes. Leave it open, add gabled ends, half walls, full side walls, or close the front or back. Walk-in doors, windows, and roll-up garage doors are available. Many people start open and enclose later in the designer.

What gauge steel is used?

The standard frame is 14-gauge galvanized American steel. A 12-gauge frame is the upgrade for heavier snow or wind. Roof and wall sheeting is 29-gauge. Roofs use a 3/12 pitch. Vehicle clearance is the leg height, not the peak of the roof.

Is delivery and installation included?

Yes. Delivery and professional installation are free on a level building site in the 40+ states Carport.com serves. A deposit holds the order; the balance is due at delivery. Carport kits are available if you prefer to assemble.

Can I buy a metal carport kit?

Yes. A kit includes the steel and sheeting for the size and options you design. Choose kit-only in the designer, or call (855) 227-7678. Installed buildings remain the default: free delivery and installation on a level site.

Do I need a certified carport for a permit?

Many counties require engineered drawings or a certified building before they issue a permit. Certification is available when you order. Ask the phone team which option matches your site, or start the design online and we will help with the paperwork.

Can I get an instant metal carport price?

Yes. The online designer shows a local price as you set size, roof, sides, ends, and colors. You can also open any photo in this catalog and price that exact building. Prefer a person? Call (855) 227-7678.
