Metal shed questions
What is a metal shed?
An enclosed steel backyard building for tools, equipment, and storage. Carport.com sheds use the same 14-gauge American frames and 29-gauge sheeting as our garages, not light big-box utility panels.
Metal shed vs. wood shed?
Wood needs ongoing finish work and can rot or attract insects. Steel does not. Our sheds are often 20–40% less than a comparable wood building once you stop paying to maintain it. You can still line the interior if you want pegboard.
Metal shed vs. metal garage?
Scale and typical door. A shed is backyard storage with a walk-in or a small roll-up. A garage is sized and door-packaged for cars. If a truck will live inside, you want a garage.
What sizes do you build?
Custom. Photos in this category are starting points (for example 18×21). Set width, length, and leg height in the designer so a mower or shelves actually fit. Clearance is leg height, not the peak.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval?
Many HOAs regulate sheds by height, color, and setback. Some counties require a permit above a square-footage trigger. Certification is available. Check before you pour a pad.
Is installation included?
Yes — free delivery and professional installation on a level site in 40+ states. About 30 days typical. Kits if you assemble.
Can I get a shed kit?
Yes. Same steel, you assemble. Useful when the yard is not level enough for our crew. Call (855) 227-7678.
How do I get a shed price?
Designer or catalog photo, priced to your ZIP. Or call.
