Roof Style Pricing Impact
Your choice of roof style is the biggest factor in the base price of your carport.
Regular Roof
The most economical option, featuring rounded eaves and horizontal panels.
Boxed Eave Roof
An A-frame look with horizontal panels, matching residential rooflines.
Vertical Roof
The premium A-frame choice with vertical panels that shed snow and debris easily.
What Factors Influence
Carport Costs?
While size is the primary factor, several other choices will impact the final price of your metal carport.
Steel Gauge (12 vs 14)
Standard 14-gauge steel is economical. Upgrading to 12-gauge provides a thicker frame and a longer rust-through warranty.
Leg Height
Standard height is 6′. Increasing the height for RVs, trucks, or campers adds to the material cost and labor.
Certification Requirements
Areas with high wind or snow loads require extra bracing and anchors to meet local building codes.
Side & End Panels
Adding partial or full walls to your carport increases protection but also adds to the material and labor costs.
What’s Included in the Price?
- Professional Delivery to your site

Metal vs. Wood
Cost Comparison.
While wood buildings might seem cheaper initially, steel buildings offer significantly better long-term value and lower total cost of ownership.
