Metal Carport

Shelter your vehicles and outdoor equipment with our rugged metal carports—designed for strength, weather resistance, and versatile installation options. Constructed from heavy-gauge galvanized steel posts and trusses with a durable powder-coated finish, these carports offer reliable protection against sun, rain, snow, and hail. Available in single-, double-, and commercial-span sizes, each kit features precision-cut components, snap-lock roofing panels, and all-season gutter systems to channel water away. Whether you need a freestanding cover for your family cars or an attached lean-to carport for boats and trailers, our designs combine low-maintenance durability with straightforward assembly.

Maintenance Tips for Metal Carport

Clean Coating and Panels Annually
– Rinse roof panels and frame with a garden hose to remove dirt, pollen, and bird droppings.
– Wipe down powder-coat surfaces with a mild detergent solution and soft cloth to preserve finish and prevent staining.

Inspect and Tighten Hardware Seasonally
– Check bolts, screws, and bracket connections every spring and fall, tightening any that have loosened over time.
– Replace any missing or corroded fasteners promptly to maintain structural integrity.

Prevent Corrosion and Rust
– Touch up scratches or nicks in the powder-coat with matching metal paint or sealant to block moisture.
– Apply a thin coat of wax or silicone spray to seams and exposed cut edges to repel water.

Remove Snow and Debris Promptly
– After heavy snowfall, use a roof rake to clear accumulations and reduce weight load.
– Trim overhanging branches to prevent damage from falling limbs during storms.

FAQs

How do I choose the right size carport?
Measure the length and width of your vehicle(s) and allow at least 2–3 feet of clearance on each side for easy access and airflow. For boats or larger equipment, factor in trailer tongue length or awning attachments.

Can I install a carport on concrete or asphalt?
Yes. Use concrete anchors (wedge or sleeve types) for hard surfaces. For soft ground installations, set posts in concrete footings or use ground-screw anchors to secure the frame.

What wind and snow loads can the carport handle?
Our carports are rated for wind speeds up to 90 mph (145 km/h) and snow loads up to 30 psf. Always check local building codes and add additional bracing or snow guards if you’re in an extreme-weather zone.

Can I enclose my carport later?
Yes—our modular design allows you to add optional side panels, roll-up doors, or gable end kits to convert your carport into a fully enclosed garage or storage shelter.
