Custom Metal Carports

Colonial Steel Structures designs custom metal carports for homeowners and businesses seeking durable, low-maintenance vehicle and equipment protection throughout the East Coast, the Midwest, and beyond.

Steel Carports for Cars, RVs, Boats, Trailers & Equipment

Metal carports are steel structures designed to protect vehicles, boats, RVs, trailers, and equipment from sun, rain, snow, and harsh weather. Whether you need a simple single-vehicle cover or a larger multi-bay structure, our team builds carports that balance strength, affordability, and long-term performance.

Every metal carport we install is customized to match your property and protection needs. From width and height to roof style and panel options, every detail is designed specifically for your space — never one-size-fits-all.

What We Do

Colonial Steel Structures manages your metal carport project from design through installation, including:

  • Custom metal carport design and sizing
  • Steel framing, roofing, and panel installation
  • Roof style selection (regular, boxed eave, vertical)
  • Height clearance planning for RVs and tall vehicles
  • Partial or fully enclosed panel options
  • Code-compliant engineering and structural ratings

We use certified materials that meet or exceed state and local building standards to ensure your carport is built to withstand the elements year after year.

Framing, Materials & Certifications

Framing

Our commercial metal buildings are constructed with high-quality galvanized steel:

  • 14-gauge double-coated galvanized steel framing
  • Optional 12-gauge framing for enhanced structural strength
  • Heavier-gauge trusses are available for larger spans

All primary framing components are backed by a 10-year rust-through guarantee.

Roof & Wall Panels

We offer multiple panel thicknesses and configurations to match your budget and application:

29-Gauge Metal Panels
A durable and cost-effective solution ideal for residential carports.

26-Gauge Metal Panels
Thicker steel offering enhanced strength and impact resistance, ideal for areas with harsher weather conditions.

Customers can choose from open-sided designs, partial side panels, or fully enclosed configurations depending on protection needs.

Weather Ratings

Every metal carport is engineered to meet regional building codes. Our structures can be designed to withstand:

  • Snow loads up to 35 PSF
  • Wind speeds up to 140 MPH

We ensure your carport meets or exceeds local building requirements with reinforcements when necessary.

FAQs About Metal Carports

How much does a metal carport cost?

Pricing depends on size, gauge, roof style, panel configuration, and site conditions. We provide straightforward, upfront estimates based on your specific needs.

Yes. Width, height, roof style, side panels, color, and framing gauge can all be customized.

In many areas, permits are required. We can provide engineered drawings to assist with approval.

Once materials are ready and any required permits are secured, most carports are installed quickly — often within a few days.
