The main factor affecting the cost of your metal carport is its size, with smaller styles often costing much less than larger ones. The average prices listed below include typical labor costs. Special features, much larger carports, and sites that require additional work can add to your costs.

A vertical roof structure will have roof panels that run from the eaves up to the peak of the roof. The name “vertical” comes from how the ridges on the roof appear vertical as viewed from the ground. Conversely, a horizontal roof structure will see ridges running from front to back, parallel with the ground.

Concrete bolts are used to anchor a carport to concrete. Rebar anchors can be used to anchor a carport to the ground, gravel, or asphalt. Mobile home anchors (sometimes called earth anchors) are a more secure way to anchor a carport to dirt or gravel.

Durability: Metal carports are made of sturdy materials that can withstand harsh weather conditions, including heavy rain, snow, and wind. They are also resistant to rust, corrosion, and pests, which makes them a great long-term investment.
