Explore our range of customizable options and elevate your property with a durable and reliable metal carport from Eagle Carports.

What is an All Weather Steel Carport? 

Unlike a steel garage, which is entirely enclosed by walls, a roof, and an entry door, steel carports are semi-covered metal structures with either a metal or fabric roof. Because metal carports traditionally have roofs but no sides, they are an affordable alternative to a steel garage. 

Your metal carport offers versatility and can be used to: 

• Cover large vehicles like cars, trucks, RVs, boats, or farm equipment. 
• House smaller vehicles like mowers, ATVs, snowmobiles, motorcycles, bikes, and more. 
• Create shelter over a deck, patio, play area, or other outdoor space. 
• Act as an outdoor workshop at your home or business. 
• Serve as a DIY pavilion for projects, repairs, or hobbies. 

Our steel carport buildings are popular choices for customers who live in apartments, trailer homes, or on tight property lines with limited space. Many customers even opt to anchor metal carports to their houses if they prefer to have an attached storage structure for their living space. 

If you own a business or shop, adding a metal carport to your location is a great way to provide sheltered parking for customers or additional workspace that is convenient, economical, and long-lasting. 

Choosing Between Steel Carports vs Metal Garages

When deciding between steel carports and metal garages for your property, it's important to consider the specific benefits of opting for a metal carport.

Here are some key advantages of choosing a steel carport vs a metal garage for your home or business. 

Cost-Effectiveness

Steel carports are generally more affordable than steel garages. They require fewer materials and less labor to construct, making them a budget-friendly option for those who need a protective structure for their vehicles.

Easy Installation

The simplicity of the design of steel frame carports allows for quicker and easier installation compared to metal garages. This means less disruption to your daily routine and, often, no need for extensive groundwork.

Versatility

Steel carport buildings can be used for a variety of purposes beyond just car storage. They can serve as covered spaces for outdoor gatherings, workshops, or even as temporary storage areas at your home or business.

Minimal Maintenance

Galvanized steel is a durable material that resists corrosion, rust, and damage from the elements. This durability means that steel buildings require minimal maintenance, saving time and money in the long run.

Open Air Ventilation

Unlike enclosed steel garages, steel carports are open, allowing for better air circulation. This is particularly beneficial in hot or humid climates, as it prevents the buildup of heat and moisture around your vehicles or other possessions.

Flexible Placement

Steel carport buildings can be installed in various locations around your property, including areas where a full garage might not be feasible due to space constraints.

Environmental Impact

The construction of a steel carport typically has a lower environmental impact than that of a metal garage due to the use of fewer materials and resources.

Enhanced Property Value

Installing a high-quality American steel carport can increase the value of your property, offering a functional and attractive feature for potential buyers.

Quick Access and Ease of Use

Carports provide quick and easy access to your vehicle, which is especially convenient in inclement weather. You can reach your car without the need to open large garage doors.

Why Invest in a Residential Metal Carport? 

Residential metal carports offer homeowners a versatile and practical solution for protecting vehicles, boats, RVs, and outdoor living spaces from the elements. 

Vehicle Covers

A primary use of residential metal carports is providing shelter for vehicles such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles. By installing a metal carport in your driveway or yard, you can protect your vehicles from exposure to the sun’s UV rays, rain, snow, and hail, prolonging their lifespan and maintaining their appearance.

Boat or RV Covers

For homeowners who own boats, RVs, or trailers, a metal carport provides an ideal storage solution. By keeping these recreational vehicles covered when not in use, you can offer UV protection while preventing moisture and debris, ensuring they remain in optimal condition for your next adventure.

Covered Picnic or Play Areas

Metal carports can also serve as covered outdoor spaces for recreational activities and family gatherings. Whether you're hosting a barbecue, enjoying a picnic, or supervising outdoor playtime for your children, a metal carport provides shelter from the sun and rain, allowing you to enjoy outdoor living year-round.

Open-Air Workshops

Homeowners who enjoy DIY projects or have hobbies or jobs that require outdoor workspace can benefit from a residential metal carport. With ample space and protection from the elements, a metal carport serves as an ideal workshop for woodworking, gardening, automotive repairs, and other hands-on activities.

Storage for Outdoor Equipment

In addition to vehicles and recreational vehicles, metal carports can also be used to store outdoor equipment such as lawnmowers, bicycles, ATVs, and gardening tools. By keeping these items covered and organized, you can extend their lifespan and free up space in your garage or shed.

Why Invest in a Commercial Steel Carport?

Commercial steel carports are becoming increasingly popular among businesses due to their durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. Here are some compelling reasons to consider incorporating a commercial steel carport into your property. 

Covered Parking for Customers

One of the most practical and customer-centric applications of commercial steel carports is providing covered parking spaces for patrons. By installing steel carports in your parking area, you offer customers a convenient and protected space to park their vehicles, shielded from the elements. 

Covered Outdoor Seating Areas

Restaurants, cafes, and event venues can utilize steel carports to create covered outdoor seating areas. These spaces offer customers a comfortable and protected environment to dine or socialize, allowing businesses to maximize their seating capacity and revenue potential, especially during inclement weather.

Canopy Drive-Thrus 

Fast-food restaurants, banks, pharmacies, and other drive-thru businesses can benefit from steel carports installed as canopies over their drive-thru lanes. These canopies provide shelter for customers while they conduct transactions or pick up orders, improving the overall customer experience and operational efficiency.

Dealership Showrooms for Vehicles 

Car dealerships can use steel carports as covered showroom spaces to display vehicles outdoors. These structures protect the vehicles from the elements while still allowing customers to view them in a well-lit and accessible environment. Steel carports can also serve as shaded areas for customer interactions and vehicle demonstrations.

Outdoor Retail Spaces

Retailers, farmers' markets, and craft vendors can set up steel carports as outdoor retail spaces. These structures offer protection for merchandise and vendors from sun exposure, rain, and wind, while still providing a visible and inviting storefront for customers. Steel carports can be customized with signage and lighting to attract customers and enhance the shopping experience.

Covered Loading Docks

Warehouses, distribution centers, and logistics facilities can utilize steel carports to create covered loading docks for shipping and receiving operations. These structures protect goods, equipment, and personnel from the elements during loading and unloading activities, improving efficiency and safety in the supply chain.

Outdoor Event Venues

Event organizers, schools, and community centers can transform outdoor spaces into functional event venues with the help of steel carports. These structures can serve as covered stages, seating areas, or vendor booths for concerts, festivals, fundraisers, and other gatherings, ensuring that events can proceed rain or shine.

Employee Break Areas

Businesses can install steel carports as covered employee break areas or outdoor lunchrooms. These spaces provide employees with a comfortable and sheltered environment to relax and recharge during their breaks, promoting employee satisfaction, productivity, and well-being.

Steel Carports Benefits

Steel carports have become increasingly popular among homeowners and property owners due to their durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. Whether you need shelter for your vehicles, equipment, or outdoor events, steel carports offer a range of benefits that make them a superior choice. 

Steel Carport Durability

Steel is renowned for its strength and resilience. Unlike wood or other materials, steel carports are resistant to rotting, warping, and insect damage. They can withstand harsh weather conditions, including heavy rain, snow, high winds, and intense sunlight, without deteriorating or requiring frequent maintenance.

Are Metal Carports More Durable Than Wooden Frame Carports? 

Metal carports, particularly those made from steel or aluminum, surpass wood carports in durability due to their resistance to weather elements and structural stability. With minimal maintenance requirements, metal carports offer a longer lifespan and greater fire resistance, making them a practical and reliable choice for sheltering vehicles and equipment in various environmental conditions.

Longevity of Metal Buildings

Steel carports have a longer lifespan compared to structures made from other materials. With proper installation and maintenance, they can last for decades, providing reliable protection for your vehicles and belongings for years to come. This longevity translates to cost savings over time, as you won't need to replace or repair your carport as frequently.

Versatility in Carport Design 

Steel carports come in a variety of designs, sizes, and configurations to suit different needs and preferences. Whether you need a single-car carport, a double-car carport, or a larger steel structure for RVs or boats, there are options available to accommodate your requirements. Additionally, steel carports can be customized with features such as side panels, gable ends, and insulation to enhance functionality and aesthetics.

Can Wooden Frame Carports Be Customized? 

While there is some level of customization that can be done to wood carports, when it comes to customization options, steel carports outshine wooden frame ones. Steel offers far greater flexibility in design, allowing for a wide range of customization possibilities. From choosing the size and shape to selecting roof styles and colors, steel carports can be tailored to suit your specific preferences and requirements with ease. 

Quick Steel Carport Installation

Compared to traditional garage construction, steel carports can be installed much more quickly and with minimal disruption to your property. Many steel carport kits are pre-engineered and prefabricated, allowing for straightforward assembly on-site. This means you can enjoy the benefits of a carport sooner and with less hassle.

Metal Carport Cost-Effectiveness

Steel carports typically offer excellent value for money compared to alternatives like wooden carports or full metal garage construction. Metal carports require less maintenance and repair over time, saving you both time and money in the long run. Additionally, the initial cost of purchasing and installing a steel carport is often lower than that of building a traditional garage, making it a budget-friendly option for adding shelter to your property.

Increased Property Value with Metal Carports

Adding a steel carport to your property can enhance its value and curb appeal. Potential buyers appreciate the convenience and protection that a carport provides for vehicles, outdoor equipment, and recreational vehicles. A well-maintained steel carport can make your property more attractive to prospective buyers and contribute to a higher resale value.

Steel is an Eco-Friendly Option

Steel is a highly recyclable material, making steel carports an environmentally friendly choice for sheltering your vehicles and belongings. By opting for a steel carport, you can reduce your carbon footprint and minimize waste compared to structures made from non-recyclable materials.

Are Metal Carports More Environmentally Friendly Than Wooden Frame Carports?

Metal carports are generally considered to be more environmentally friendly than wooden frame carports for several reasons. Firstly, metal carports are often made from recycled materials and can be fully recycled at the end of their lifespan, reducing environmental impact. Additionally, the production process for metal carports typically consumes less energy and generates fewer emissions compared to the manufacturing of wooden frame carports.
