Metal Carports — Any Size, Delivered & Installed

The right carport size depends on how many vehicles you’re covering and what type they are — single-wide carports start at 12 feet wide, double-wide runs 18 to 24 feet, and triple-wide or custom builds extend to 30 feet and beyond.

Standard Carport Sizes and Configurations

Got a sedan or standard pickup? A 12-foot-wide carport with at least 20 feet of length is our go-to recommendation. That gives you solid coverage plus room to open doors and move around. If you’re parking a full-size truck or SUV, bump up to 14 feet wide — you’ll appreciate the extra breathing room.

Double-wide carports start at 18 feet for two compact cars, but honestly, we push most customers toward 20 to 24 feet of width for two full-size vehicles. Our 20-by-20-foot double carport is a bestseller for good reason: plenty of protection for two vehicles with space left over.

Need to cover three or more vehicles? Storing an RV? Want a combo setup with vehicles on one side and a workspace on the other? We build triple-wide and custom-width carports starting at 26 feet — and we’ll go as wide as your property allows.

Custom Sizing for Your Specific Needs

We don’t box you into standard dimensions. Need a 15-by-35-foot carport because that’s what your lot demands? We’ll engineer and build exactly that. One thing we always stress: add at least 2 to 3 feet beyond your vehicle dimensions on every side. This isn’t just about convenience — proper clearance prevents rain splash-back and lets air circulate, which cuts down on moisture buildup that causes problems over time.

Height Considerations for Different Vehicles

Standard leg height runs 6 to 7 feet, which handles sedans and most everyday vehicles just fine. But if you’ve got a lifted truck, an RV, or a boat on a trailer, we offer 8-foot, 10-foot, 12-foot, and even 14-foot leg heights. Taller structures sometimes need beefed-up engineering for wind resistance — but that’s all part of our ZIP code-specific engineering process. We handle the math so you don’t have to.

A professionally installed metal carport typically runs between $2,500 and $12,000 depending on size and features — basic single-wide carports land around $2,500 to $4,000, standard double-wide setups fall between $5,000 and $8,000, and larger custom or fully enclosed units can reach $12,000 or more.

Factors That Affect Your Carport Price

Size drives the price more than anything else. After that, steel gauge (thickness) plays a big role in both cost and how long your carport lasts. We use 14-gauge or 12-gauge framing based on what your area’s engineering specs demand — heavier gauge steel goes into high-wind or heavy-snow regions where you need that extra strength.

Roof style matters too. Regular (rounded) roofs are the most budget-friendly option. A-frame horizontal roofs shed water better and cost a bit more. Vertical roof panels — our recommendation for areas with heavy snow or serious rainfall — run higher because of extra framing, but they flat-out perform better over the long haul.

Then there’s customization. Enclosed sides, end walls, garage doors, windows, extra height, custom colors — all of these affect your final number. Delivery distance and anything unusual about your installation site can shift the total as well.

Financing and Rent-to-Own Options

We offer flexible financing so you can spread payments out at competitive rates. Our rent-to-own programs are another path — no credit check required, and you can start protecting your vehicles right away with monthly payments that won’t wreck your budget.

Here’s something worth considering: the cost of carport protection typically pays for itself within 3 to 5 years through lower vehicle maintenance, stronger resale value, and repairs you never had to make because of weather damage.

What’s Included in Our Installation Price

No hidden surprises. When we quote your metal carport installation, that price covers delivery of all materials to your location, professional site assessment, full assembly and installation by experienced crews, and every anchoring system needed for your soil conditions and local requirements. If optional features or special circumstances add cost, we tell you upfront — period.

It comes down to your skills, your schedule, and what matters most to you — DIY kits cost less upfront but demand serious labor and know-how, while professional installation gives you expert assembly, proper anchoring, warranty protection, and code compliance without the headaches.

DIY Kit Considerations

A DIY carport kit can save you $1,000 to $3,000 on installation labor. But here’s the reality: you’ll need 2 to 4 capable helpers, the right tools (drills, wrenches, ladders, and levels), and 1 to 3 full days blocked off for assembly. And the part most people underestimate? Anchoring. Inadequate anchoring is the number one reason carports fail during windstorms. With a DIY kit, making sure those anchors meet local codes and work with your soil — that’s entirely on you.

Professional Installation Benefits

Professional installation takes the physical labor, time commitment, and guesswork off your plate completely. Our crews do this daily, so proper assembly, leveling, and anchoring aren’t concerns — they’re guaranteed. You get certified anchor systems installed to engineering specifications, compliance with local building codes and permit requirements, warranty coverage protecting your investment, and expert placement that maximizes drainage and functionality. For most property owners, that peace of mind and guaranteed quality are well worth the added investment.
