frequent high winds or heavy snow in winter. The
sloped roof channels wind and prevents drifting
snow from forming heavy layers on top.

its solid supports and graceful shape. Its
horizontal roof panels keep out rain and snow
well, and deflect wind to prevent roof lifting.

Types Of Metal Carports
Soft-Top Roof
In regions where snow and ice are rare, a
soft-top roof of coated canvas is a lightweight
alternative. The frame and sides of this roof are
still made of solid 12-gauge or 14-gauge steel.
This roof also keeps the metal carports interior
cooler in hot weather than a steel roof. Most
metal carports feature open walls, but nearly all
makers offer side sheathing panels that you can
purchase and install.

6 Benefits of Metal Carports
1. Portable
Many of the metal carports on the market today
are portable. This is very handy if you move and
want to take the carport with you, or if you just
need the carport temporarily. With a little
effort, they can be taken down and moved.
2. Very strong and durable
Unlike wood, metal does not suffer the
consequences that wood does in the weather, it
will not rot, warp, buckle, twist, or crack. It
is also corrosion resistant, fire resistant and
won't be bothered by termites.

3. Easy to assemble
Most metal carports also have metal framing, and
depending upon size, can be assembled by a
homeowner with just a little bit of DIY
experience in three to eight hours (not including
the concrete slab). That is for a metal carport
with just an overhead covering, if you have side
walls then it will take a bit longer
4. Very versatile
Not only can you use a metal carport to protect
your vehicles, they come in a variety of sizes.
You can get one tall enough for storing and
protecting your RV, or a smaller one that would
still be large enough to protect a jet ski,
snowmobile and ATV, or you can even have one
installed on a boast slip as a boat slip cover.

5. More available options than wood
You can get the steel tubing in 12 or 15 gauge,
and the sheet metal in 26 or 29 gauge. What size
gauge you need is based upon the size and
configuration of the building, and where you
live. If you live in a place with harsh winters
with high winds and heavy snow load, then you
would need the heavier gauge.
6. Affordable
To actually end up with a covered carport, metal
carports is a very affordable option. You can
purchase them as a kit, either of predetermined
size or some companies allow special orders, and
then assemble the carport yourself. Metal is
often more affordable than wood, everything you
need is in one package, and if you assemble it
yourself, you save a lot on labor. It is a very
cost effective way to gain an entire usable
structure.
