What Sets Our Metal Carports Apart?

Our metal carport kits are custom-built, so you can decide the width, length, and leg height for your new structure. Other important details include:

• Anchors into the ground or a concrete pad for extra security
• Many options, including gables and enclosed sides. Whether you want a carport shelter that’s fully enclosed or a partially enclosed metal carport, we can create it for you.

No, a carport and garage are two different things, though they both serve as a storage structure.

Carports are generally not enclosed structures, whereas garages have four walls. A carport serves mostly as a cover to protect against sun and precipitation.

Our high-quality but cheap carports range from $695 and up. Our carports don’t sacrifice quality, but our great prices can help you stick to your budget.

The metal carports start out at 6' tall, but each car shelter is available in many different heights. Select a carport or garage and you can also choose the color of its roof and trim. Our portable carport kits are all built on site, and triple-wide carports, metal barn lean-to buildings, and 40-foot-wide carports are also available. Our steel carports have a 29-gauge metal sheeting roof with an optional upgrade of 26-gauge. The tubing on them comes standard at 14-gauge, but 12-gauge tubing is an option for all of our carports.

What is the difference between the Boxed Eave Roof and the Vertical Roof? The roof sheeting on the boxed eave style runs the length of the structure. This means that just like the regular style structure that also has roof sheeting running lengthwise. With the vertical roof, the panels run up and down, allowing the snow to easily slide off.  If you are planning to add a gutter to your garage or carport, you will want to go with the vertical style. Please see our photos to help you visualize the differences between the 3 styles.

Not sure what size metal carport you need, feel free to use the carport size selector tool to get a starting point for how wide of a carport you may want to consider?  Please keep in mind it is always a good idea to measure your car, truck or rv to make sure you are comfortable with the size of the carport you are thinking about buying.

All of our structures are made out of Galvanized Steel

There are many benefits of owning one of our steel  carports. The steel carports for sale here can protect your farm equipment, truck, RV, and other vehicles from the snow, hail, rain, wind, and blazing sun. Rain and snow can cause your vehicle to develop rust, resulting in costly repairs, and rubber tires can become worn when a vehicle is parked outside without protection. Keeping your vehicle under one of our portable metal carports can help to keep it in good condition. A metal-roof canopy is ideal for sheltering bicycles, cars, motorcycles, and equipment from the inclement weather. All of our carports serve as solid shelter for your property.

Another benefit of owning one of our metal car shelters is easy access. Our metal carport kits are an ideal alternative if you don’t want the hassle of locking and unlocking your storage space. There’s no garage door to open and shut or door keys to keep track of. The open, airy environment of our carports makes them a favorite with many of our customers.

Most small metal carports can be installed in a few hours. Larger carports or partially enclosed carports may take half a day or the better part of a day to be installed.

It’s possible that you will. Please reference our Building Permit page.

A boxed eave is a style of roof built on an A-frame structure that has horizontal roof panels but no ridge cap.

The regular-style carports are rounded on the sides and have a barn-shaped roof. This is the most economical roof style for metal carports. The leg height is officially 6 feet, but at the top of the bend on the leg, there is an additional foot. This brings the total length of each leg to 7 feet. A boxed-eave carport has an A-frame gable roof with a 6-inch overhang on both sides. A vertical carport has an A-frame roof as well as a 6-inch overhang on both sides. All carports have a 6-inch overhang on the front and back ends. What makes the vertical carports different from the boxed-eave carports is a design feature of the roof. On the vertical-style carport, the roof sheeting runs up and down the length of the roof, allowing the snow to easily slide off! In order to attach the sheeting to the vertical carport, bracing is put under the roof. The vertical carport is the only model with this roof design. On the other two styles, the metal roof runs horizontally along the length of the building.

Yes. The steel carports can be made taller in 1-foot increments with legs up to 18 feet tall.

Yes. There are a wide variety of sizes available. We have carports that are 12 feet, 18 feet, 20 feet, 22 feet, and 24 feet wide. The triple-wide carports are built 26 feet, 28 feet, and 30 feet wide. We also have our 40-foot-wide carports, which come in 32 feet, 34 feet, 36 feet, 38 feet, and 40 feet wide. The lean-to carports come in 36 feet, 42 feet, 44 feet, 46 feet, and 48 feet wide. Our lean-to carports have a 12-foot lean-to on both sides. The lengths of our carports start out at 21 feet and increase in length in 5-foot increments. The lengths are 26 feet, 31 feet, 36 feet, 41 feet, 46 feet, 51 feet, 56 feet, 61 feet, 66 feet, 71 feet, 76 feet, 81 feet, 86 feet, 91 feet, 96 feet, 101 feet and even longer.  We recommend the vertical roof style for any carport measuring 36 feet or longer.

Yes, we can customize the size of each portable carport. To do so, we’ll charge you the price of the next largest standard-size carport. As an example, let’s say you need a carport that is 17 feet wide. The standard widths are either 12 feet wide or 18 feet wide, so we’ll charge you for an 18-foot-wide carport. This same rule applies to the length. If you need the length to be 24 feet and the 26-foot-long model is too long, we can make the base 24 feet long but we’ll charge you the price of a 26-foot-long carport. When figuring out the size of your carport, you should consider that when we say 26 feet long, that includes a 6-inch overhang on the front and back ends, making the exact base 25 feet in length.

All of the widths of carports are the exact base rail dimensions. The length listed may include a 6-inch overhang on the front and back ends. So if you order a 24-by-26 carport, you will want the concrete slab to be exactly 24' 5 1/2" feet wide by 25' 5 1/2" feet long.  We recommend at minimum 2 3/4 inches extra on the sides to help with our anchoring system.

For the roof color and trim, there are 14 different color options. 

You can place your carport order by contacting us via email belowretail@mancavestructures.com, calling or texting 435-708-1926 or coming and seeing us in person.

The deposit is 10% to 50% depending on the size of the carport. The remaining balance is due at the time of install.

We anchor carports for free to the ground or asphalt with 32-inch-long rebar. We also highly recommend having us certify your structure for wind by installing concrete anchors, ground anchors, rocky point anchors or asphalt anchors.
