Anyone who has experienced getting
into a car that's been sitting in the summer sun all day or overnight
in the winter appreciates the benefits of a carport. Metal carports
can be added to any residence or commercial site. They provide
protections for cars, boats, recreational vehicles and sun protection
to exposed walls.
Carports can be attached to the house or building, be totally detached and freestanding, or connected by a covered walkway. They can be constructed of aluminum, steel or prefabricated insulated polystyrene foam core panels wrapped in steel or aluminum, and include gutters, skylights, and electricity to add lights or fans.
Carports are constructed in varied gauges of metal depending on the strength needed to protect against wind and snow. Metal buildings are economical to install and easy to maintain. They can be ordered in standard sizes or custom designed to fit any application.
