Why Choose a Metal Carport?
A metal carport is a durable, cost-effective solution to protect your vehicles from the elements. Unlike traditional garages, carports are open structures that provide immediate protection without the expense of a fully enclosed building.
Key Benefits:
- Weather Protection: Shield your vehicles from sun damage, rain, snow, and hail
- Cost-Effective: More affordable than building a full garage
- Quick Installation: Most carports can be installed in just a few hours
- Versatility: Use for cars, trucks, RVs, boats, or even as a covered outdoor space
- Durability: Our carports are built with high-quality steel that will last for decades
- Value: Can increase your property value by up to 5-10%
Finding Your Perfect Carport Size
Not sure what size carport you need? Here’s a simple guide to help you choose:
| Vehicle Type | Size (W x L x H) | What Fits |
| Small Cars | 12′ x 20′ x 7′ | Perfect for 1 compact or sedan |
| Standard Vehicles | 18′ x 20′ x 7′ | Comfortably fits 2 standard vehicles |
| Family Solution | 20′ x 20′ x 8′ | Space for 2 vehicles with extra room for movement |
| Large Vehicles | 24′ x 25′ x 8′ | Ideal for trucks, SUVs, or 3 standard vehicles |

Pro Tip: Always choose a carport at least 2 feet longer and wider than your vehicle(s) to ensure adequate coverage and easy access.
