16X20 Carports

Finding a 16×20 carport that fits your space and your budget shouldn't be this hard, but every listing seems to hide the real price somewhere in the fine print until you actually pick up the phone and call around.

Meanwhile your vehicle sits exposed. UV rays fade paint, one bad hailstorm can mean $2,500 to $4,000 in dent repair, and vehicles stored outdoors depreciate 15-20% faster than covered ones, that's real money disappearing from your resale value every single season it sits out there.

Our 16×20 carports start at $1,519 with free delivery to all 50 states and flexible financing from $20 a month, with custom configurations to match your property. Call us at (866) 941-4072 or schedule a free consultation to get your personalized quote today.

A 16×20 carport measures 16 feet wide by 20 feet long — that's 320 square feet of coverage, ideal for a single full-size vehicle with room to spare. It hits that sweet spot between solid protection and smart use of your property.

For perspective: a standard single garage door runs 9–10 feet wide. Our 16-foot width gives you significantly more breathing room. And at 20 feet long, you can comfortably park vehicles up to 18 feet with clearance at both ends for easy access.

Pretty much anything you're driving fits under a 16×20 carport. Full-size pickups — your F-150, Silverado, Ram 1500 — slide in with clearance on all sides. Same goes for big SUVs like the Tahoe, Sequoia, and Expedition. Sedans, crossovers, mid-size vehicles? No problem.

That 16-foot width leaves roughly 5 feet of clearance on each side of a standard vehicle. Enough to swing doors wide open, walk around freely, and still tuck lawn equipment or bikes along the edges.

We offer height configurations from 6 feet to 14 feet. Standard 6–8 foot heights handle sedans and most SUVs just fine. Got a lifted truck, roof rack, or boat? The 10–14 foot options have you covered.

Beyond parking, that 320 square feet creates real usable space. A lot of our customers set up a workbench along one side, store tools, or keep seasonal gear out of the garage.

Our 16×20 carports start at $1,519 for standard models, with premium options running up to $1,850 — roughly $4.75–$5.78 per square foot. That price includes the complete structure. No hidden fees. No surprise charges at checkout.

Stack that against what weather damage actually costs, and the math is pretty simple. One hail repair runs $2,500–$4,000. Sun fade paint correction? $500–$1,500. Your carport basically pays for itself the first time it prevents serious damage.

At $1,519, the base model comes with galvanized steel framing, a regular roof style, and your pick of standard colors. Solid protection for moderate climates.

Want better water and snow runoff? A vertical roof adds about $175 — and it's worth it for northern states or heavy-rain areas. Vertical roofs can cut snow accumulation by up to 80% compared to regular styles, which is a meaningful difference when winter hits.

Upgrading to heavier gauge steel (12-gauge vs. 14-gauge) boosts structural strength, which matters in high-wind zones or where local codes demand specific certifications.

Every quote covers the complete carport structure, all assembly components, and free delivery anywhere in the U.S. You also get detailed assembly instructions, engineered drawings for permit applications, and full access to our customer support team.

Yes — we deliver free to all 50 states. That covers transporting your carport from our manufacturing partner's facility to your property and unloading materials at your specified location.

This is actual free delivery. We haven't padded the base price to absorb shipping costs (a trick you'll see elsewhere). Our logistics network is built to serve customers nationwide efficiently, and we pass those savings straight to you.

Your 16×20 carport shows up at your property ready for installation. We'll coordinate a delivery window that fits your schedule — typically within 3 weeks of order confirmation, depending on location.

Our delivery team places materials in your designated area, as long as it's accessible by standard delivery truck. One tip: have your site prepped before delivery day. A level foundation makes installation go much smoother.

Delivery's free. Professional installation is optional and available at additional cost. We work with experienced installers across the country who specialize in metal carport assembly — typically around $650, varying by location and site conditions.

What you get: proper anchoring that meets certifications, warranty protection (which requires correct installation), and the peace of mind that comes from expert assembly. Most installers wrap up a 16×20 carport in a single day.

We offer galvanized and regular steel construction, three roof styles (regular, A-frame horizontal, and vertical), plus 20+ color options for customization.

Galvanized steel fights rust through a protective zinc coating that shields the metal from moisture and corrosion. If you're near the coast, in a humid climate, or dealing with heavy rainfall — this is the move. Properly installed galvanized steel can last 50+ years with minimal upkeep (source).

Regular steel delivers strong structural performance at a lower price, making it a smart pick for dry climates. We stock both 12-gauge and 14-gauge thickness. The 12-gauge handles high winds and heavy snow loads; 14-gauge performs well for standard conditions.

The regular roof (sometimes called rounded or barn-style) uses horizontal panels running side to side. Most economical option, and it works well in moderate climates.

A-frame horizontal roofs have a steeper pitch for better water and snow runoff, while keeping horizontal panel orientation.

Then there's the vertical roof — our premium option. Panels run from peak to ground vertically, so snow and debris slide right off instead of piling up. If you're in a northern state with real winters or an area with heavy rainfall, we strongly recommend going vertical. It's the best money you'll spend on the upgrade list.

Pick from 20+ colors so your carport actually looks like it belongs on your property. White, beige, and gray are popular for matching most homes. Brown and green blend well with natural surroundings.

Practical note: lighter colors reflect heat and keep things cooler in summer. Darker colors can help with snow melt during winter months.

Our 16×20 carports come engineered with certified wind and snow load ratings for most climates, with upgrades available for high-wind and heavy-snow regions. We'll help you pick the right specs based on your zip code.

Standard wind ratings handle up to 90 mph — plenty for most inland locations. For high-wind zones, coastal areas, or hurricane-prone regions, we offer certified upgrades that meet 140 mph wind ratings.

Snow load capacity tells you how much accumulated weight your roof can handle. Standard configurations support 20 psf (pounds per square foot), which covers light to moderate snowfall. Northern states frequently require 35 psf or higher — and we offer that upgrade as well.

Salt air, high winds, hurricane risk — coastal properties deal with a lot. We recommend galvanized steel for every coastal installation to fight salt air corrosion.

Send us your zip code, and we'll give you specific recommendations based on local building codes, weather patterns, and any special requirements for your area.

A 16×20 carport is ideal for single-vehicle protection with some storage space. A 20×20 gives you room for two compact vehicles or one vehicle plus a real workspace. It comes down to what you need now, what you might need later, and what you want to spend.

Go with a 16×20 if you're covering one vehicle and want moderate extra space for storage or a small work area. It's also the better fit for tighter properties where a bigger structure would crowd the yard or bump into setback requirements.

Budget matters too. You get professional protection at our most economical price point — and you can always add a second structure down the road.

A 20×20 gives you 400 square feet — 25% more than the 16×20. That's enough for two smaller vehicles side-by-side, one vehicle plus a workshop area, or one vehicle with serious storage for recreational gear.

Planning on a second vehicle? Want a covered outdoor workspace? The 20×20 handles all of it. And the price difference is typically around $400 — which, honestly, is pretty easy to justify for that much extra space.

How long does a 16×20 carport last? With proper installation and basic maintenance, our steel carports last 20–30+ years. Galvanized steel options can push past 50 years in favorable conditions.

Do I need a permit for a 16×20 carport? Depends on where you live. Many jurisdictions require permits for structures over 200 square feet. We provide engineered drawings to support your application.

Can I install a 16×20 carport myself? Absolutely. Our carports ship with detailed instructions for DIY installation. Most customers with basic tools and 2–3 helpers finish in 1–2 days. Professional installation is there if you'd rather not.

What foundation do I need for a 16×20 carport? Concrete slab, gravel base, or ground anchors — it depends on your soil and local requirements. We'll recommend the best option for your situation.

Can I customize my 16×20 carport after purchase? Yes. Enclosed sides, garage doors, windows, additional height — we offer a range of add-ons. Talk to our specialists about pricing for your setup.
