Metal Carport Prices

What a metal carport really costs — no games, no hidden add-ons.

Carport pricing gets murky fast: teaser numbers that don't include install, quotes that balloon with “engineering fees,” and prices that change by the time you call. We'd rather show our math — every figure here is factory-direct, with free delivery and professional installation already in the number.

There's no single sticker price, because a carport is built to your size, roof, and site. So instead of one number, here's the honest picture: where prices start by how many vehicles you're covering, what each choice does to the total, and how our numbers compare to the national averages.

The biggest price lever

Your roof style moves the price more than anything but size.

Same frame underneath — the roof is where you trade a little money for better weather performance. From least to most expensive:

Most affordable

Regular roof

Rounded corners, horizontal panels. The lowest-priced roof and the quickest to build — right for mild climates and tight budgets.

Best for: Mild weather · lowest price
View Details
Mid-range

A-frame horizontal

A peaked, boxed-eave roof that looks like your house and sheds rain better. A modest step up for curb appeal.

Best for: Rain · a home-matching look
View Details
Top of rangeBest value

Vertical roof

Ridge-to-eave panels and extra bracing that shed snow and water best. Costs the most, and it's the roof serious winters call for.

Best for: Snow & high wind

What changes your price

What changes the price of a metal carport.

There's no mystery to a carport quote. Each of these moves the price in a direction we can explain up front — so you can build a realistic estimate in your head before you ever call.

01
Size

Width and length are the biggest driver. Going from a single to a double roughly doubles the covered area, and wide spans past 24 ft need heavier trusses.

Biggest driver
02
Roof style

Regular is the baseline; A-frame horizontal is a step up; a vertical roof costs the most and sheds snow the best.

Regular is cheapest
03
Steel gauge

14-gauge is standard; upgrading to thicker 12-gauge framing adds cost but carries the 20-year rust warranty and higher load ratings.

12-ga costs more
04
Certification

A certified, engineer-stamped build rated to your county's wind and snow loads costs more, but it's what most permit offices require.

Adds by ZIP
05
Leg height & walls

Standard legs are 6 ft; raising them for a truck or RV adds a per-foot charge, and side/end walls or doors add material.

Adds per option
06
Your region

Delivery distance and local snow/wind requirements shift the price by state — Southern states generally run lower than Northern.

Varies by state
Metal carport value compared to national average pricing
How we compare

Cheaper than the national average — by design.

Independent cost guides put a typical installed metal carport at roughly $8 to $20 per square foot, with single-car covers commonly $2,000–$4,800 and two-car covers $3,200–$8,000 nationally.

Because we're factory-direct with no middleman markup — and installation is already included — our starting prices land at or below the low end of those ranges. Where you fall inside them comes down to the levers above.

  • Factory-direct pricing, no dealer markup
  • Free delivery and professional installation included
  • Written price-beat guarantee on comparable builds
No surprises

What's in the price — and what to budget separately.

The starting prices above already cover more than most competitors' teaser numbers. Here's exactly what's included, and the few things that are yours to arrange.

In every price
  • Free delivery to your site
  • Professional installation by our crew
  • Ground, asphalt, or concrete anchors
  • Corner and center bracing
  • 20-year rust warranty on the frame
Budget separately
  • Sales tax (varies by state)
  • Permits, where your county requires them
  • Site leveling, if your ground isn't flat
  • A concrete pad, if you want one (optional for most carports)

We put your all-in number in writing before you commit — so the price you approve is the price you pay.

We are building a barndominium and they delivered the shell on schedule. Our contractor said the framing was straighter than most stick-built shells he sees.
P
Priya & Dave L.
Bend, OR
Loafing shed for the horses showed up exactly when they said it would. The crew leveled and anchored on uneven ground and didn't try to charge extra.

Hurricane-rated anchors and engineer-stamped drawings were ready when our county asked. Permit went through the first time.
