12X30 Carports

A traditional garage runs $20,000 to $30,000, so most people put it off and park outside instead. Meanwhile the truck, the boat, or the RV sits exposed to sun and hail with no real protection, and every season you wait adds a little more damage.

That wait has a price tag. UV rays fade paint and crack dashboards, one bad hailstorm means thousands in bodywork, and vehicles stored outside depreciate 10-15% faster than covered ones — value you don’t get back.

Our 12×30 carports start at $2,665 installed, with 360 square feet under 12-gauge steel — enough for two vehicles, an RV, or a boat with room to spare. Free nationwide delivery and installation come standard, roof style and options included, no surprise charges. Call us at (866) 941-4072 or schedule a free consultation to lock in a price for your setup.

A 12×30 carport gives you 360 square feet of usable coverage — plenty for two standard vehicles side-by-side, one RV up to 28 feet, a boat on its trailer, or a mix of ATVs and equipment. Twelve feet of width means comfortable clearance for opening doors on both sides, and 30 feet of length handles most cars, trucks, and SUVs with storage space left over.

If you've got two cars, this is the sweet spot. Two sedans, compact SUVs, or mid-size vehicles park side-by-side with roughly 6 feet per vehicle — enough room to swing doors open without dinging the car next to you.

Mixed sizes work great too. A full-size pickup next to a sedan? No problem. An SUV alongside a compact? Fits fine. Just keep 2-3 feet of clearance on your main entry side and daily parking stays stress-free.

For RV owners, a 12×30 carport handles Class B and Class C motorhomes up to 28 feet long. The 12-foot width works for most RVs under 8 feet wide (that's standard highway legal width). Got a taller rig? We offer height upgrades to 14+ feet so rooftop AC units and antennas clear with room to spare.

Boat storage is just as popular. A 20-24 foot boat on trailer slides right into that 30-foot length, and you'll still have space for maintenance and winterization work. Covered storage shields gelcoat, upholstery, and electronics from UV damage — which directly extends the life and resale value of your boat.

Plenty of our customers think beyond vehicles. Four to six ATVs, a couple utility trailers, lawn equipment — or set up a covered workshop area. One common setup: park your daily driver on one end and use the remaining 18 feet for workspace or gear storage.

No interior support posts, either. The clear span design gives you total flexibility to arrange everything however it makes sense for you.

We offer three options — regular roof (most affordable), boxed eave (better looking), and vertical roof (maximum durability). The right pick depends on your budget, your local weather, and what you're storing.

Our regular roof — an A-frame with horizontal panels running side to side — starts around $2,665 for a 12×30 setup. It's our most economical choice and delivers solid basic weather protection.

Perfect for moderate climates. If your winters are mild and you mainly need shade and rain coverage, this roof punches well above its price point. Fair warning, though: we don't recommend it where heavy snow piles up. Horizontal panels just don't shed snow as fast as vertical styles.

The boxed eave adds squared-off edges along the eaves — a cleaner, more finished look that blends with most home styles. You're looking at $300-$600 more than a regular roof, but if your carport faces the street, that difference in appearance is immediately noticeable.

Same horizontal panel orientation as the regular roof, similar weather performance. The real difference is purely visual — those clean, squared edges versus the rounded look of a standard roof. Worth it if aesthetics matter to you.

This is our premium option, and honestly — it's the one we'd put on our own property. Ridge-style construction with panels running vertically from peak to eave creates natural channels that shed rain, snow, and debris fast.

The performance difference is significant: vertical roofs shed snow loads up to 40% more efficiently than horizontal panels. That's a major reduction in accumulation and the structural stress that comes with it.

We strongly recommend vertical roofs if you deal with real snowfall, heavy rain, or you're covering an RV or boat where maximum protection justifies the investment. Expect to pay $800-$1,500 more than a regular roof — but over 20+ years in a tough climate, this style outperforms everything else we sell.

Installed pricing on our 12×30 metal carports runs from $2,665 to $6,905, based on roof style, customizations, and your location. That number covers fabrication, delivery anywhere in the continental U.S., professional installation, and all anchoring. No hidden fees — what we quote is what you pay.

Regular Roof: $2,665 – $3,895 installed. Best value for moderate climates and tighter budgets.

Boxed Eave Roof: $3,195 – $4,495 installed. Adds $300-$600 for a noticeably sharper appearance.

Vertical Roof: $3,895 – $6,905 installed. Higher upfront cost, but superior weather handling and the longest lifespan of any option we sell.

Base prices assume standard height (8-10 feet at the legs), standard colors, and open-sided configurations. Customizations shift the final number, but we always give you complete pricing before you commit to anything.

Your price covers:

• Complete fabrication built to your exact specs
• Free delivery anywhere in the continental United States
• Professional installation typically wrapped up in 1-3 days
• All anchoring matched to your surface type
• Scheduling and coordination on your timeline

No contractors to hire. No equipment to rent. No confusing assembly instructions. We handle the entire process — fabrication through final walkthrough.

Deposit: Typically $500-$1,000 (depends on total cost) to kick off fabrication and lock in your production slot.

Balance: You pay the rest when installation wraps up. Not before — only after you're satisfied.

Financing: Qualified buyers can spread payments over 12-60 months. Monthly payments run as low as $75-$150 depending on total cost and term length.

Full transparency here: you'll see a detailed quote with total cost, deposit amount, and financing terms before we ask for any commitment.

We deliver and install free nationwide, but your final price factors in a few location-specific variables:

State and local taxes: Sales tax ranges from zero in states like Oregon to 7-10% in California and Tennessee.

Delivery distance: Delivery is free, but regional pricing reflects logistics. Customers closer to our manufacturing partners' facilities sometimes see slightly lower base prices.

Local building codes: Some jurisdictions require engineered drawings or specific wind/snow load ratings. We build those requirements into your quote from the start — no surprises later.

Site accessibility: Tricky access? We'll discuss it during the quote process, but we install in remarkably diverse locations.

Every 12×30 carport with 12-gauge tube framing and 29-gauge steel sheeting — substantially stronger than the 14-gauge framing you'll find from most competitors. That difference isn't marketing fluff. It shows up in structural integrity, lifespan, and how well the structure holds up in bad weather.

Our 12-gauge steel tubing is approximately 30% thicker and stronger than the 14-gauge framing budget competitors use. Lower gauge number means thicker, stronger steel — simple as that.

What does heavier-gauge steel actually do for you?

Higher load capacity: Handles snow loads, wind pressure, and structural stress that thinner frames can't. Often meets or exceeds local building code requirements right out of the gate.

Reduced flex and movement: Less stress on connection points, fasteners, and panels. Fewer maintenance headaches and a longer structural life overall.

Greater longevity: Thicker steel resists corrosion and structural fatigue better across decades. Your carport needs to hold up for 20-30+ years — and ours does.

Our 29-gauge steel panels come with high-performance finishes engineered to resist fading, chalking, and corrosion. The combination of panel thickness and coating quality means decades of protection against the elements — without the structure looking weathered and worn after a few years.

How long does installation take? Most 12×30 carports go up in 1-3 days, depending on site conditions and how much customization you've chosen.

Do I need a building permit? Depends on your location. We can provide engineered drawings if your jurisdiction requires them.

What surfaces can you install on? Concrete slabs, asphalt, gravel, or dirt. We match the anchoring method to your surface type.

How tall are the carports? Standard height runs 8-10 feet at the legs. We offer upgrades up to 14+ feet for RVs and taller vehicles.

What colors are available? A full range of standard colors at no extra charge, plus custom colors for an additional fee.

How long will my carport last? With basic maintenance, our 12-gauge steel carports typically last 20-30+ years.
