Metal Carport Prices

Factors That Can Influence the Price of Metal Carports

It’s no surprise that metal carports are some of the most cost-effective ways to protect your vehicles, equipment, and valuables. But did you know that there are a variety of factors that affect the final price of your carport? Let’s take a look at a few of the things that influence steel building prices:

1. Building Size - One of the biggest factors that affect the final price of your structure will be its size. Large buildings require additional steel to construct, raising the price.

2. Roof Style - A critical aspect of your building's price will come from its roof style. Multiple options are available, from regular roofs that feature rounded edges to vertical roof systems that give your building a more traditional look. These roofs all have different pricing structures and will affect the final price tag for your building.

3. Colors - Choosing a good color scheme for your building can transform your building from ordinary to something that's truly eye-catching. However, adding extra features like trim and wainscoting colors can affect your building’s price.

4. Gauges - The thickness of both the paneling and framing for your carport will affect your building's price. For example, some carports built in areas with more severe climates may require additional reinforcements and therefore cost more.

5. Geographical Location - Where you call home will influence your carport’s price. Remote areas that are hard to reach for installation crews may incur additional fees.

6. Dealer/Manufacturer Location - Probuilt Steel Buildings is proud to be a national provider of quality prefab metal carports. However, due to our manufacturers being located across the US, prices may vary from state to state.

Types of Metal Carports Available

Lean-to Carports

A lean-to carport isn’t much different than a standard one, with the exception that it’s attached to another building. This open-sidedcould be your home, garage, or equipment shed.

Utility Carports

A utility carport is a blanket term used to describe any carport that is used to store important equipment and tools. Depending on your needs, the dimensions and styles of these carports can vary from a simple open-faced vehicle cover to a fully enclosed space.

Boat Carports

A boat carport is a carport designed to accommodate your boats and marine vehicles, protecting them from harsh UV rays and inclement weather that occurs during the off-season.

One Car Carports

One car carports are designed to comfortably house a single small to a medium-sized automobile. If you have trucks or larger vehicles, you'll want to ensure that you design your building to have ample space.

Two Car Carports

As you may have guessed, a two-car carport is engineered to protect one or two vehicles comfortably. For those that own only one vehicle, this option is a fantastic way to ensure you have enough room to store both your automobile and essential supplies.

RV Carports

An RV carport is explicitly built to cover larger vehicles like trucks, motorhomes, and recreational vehicles. These buildings are typically constructed taller and larger than other traditional carports.

The Benefits of Metal Carports

It’s no secret that metal buildings are some of the most effective construction types available. And there are plenty of reasons why! So, let’s take a look at some of the biggest benefits these structures have to offer:

Cost-Efficient

Have you ever noticed why so many large retail establishments use metal buildings as their construction method of choice? The reason worldwide brands like Walmart, Target, and even Amazon use metal buildings comes down to their cost-efficiency and quick installation. These structures can be constructed in a fraction of the time and up to 50% cheaper than wooden buildings!

Durability

Steel is one of the most durable metals on Earth, capable of withstanding an incredible amount of force without losing its integrity. Metal buildings are engineered to not only stand firm against any weather, but they’re also made to last for decades. If taken care of properly, these structures can outlast almost any stick-built alternative.

Eco-Friendly

Did you know that our buildings are 100% recyclable? Not only does steel carry a smaller carbon footprint compared to wood, but when your building reaches the end of its natural life, you can simply melt it down and use the material again!

Reduced Repairs and Maintenance

Unlike wooden structures, steel buildings are naturally resistant to moisture, mold, mildew, and rust- the most significant factors contributing to the decay of wooden structures. Simply keep the roof free of leaf fall and debris and give it a pressure wash every season, and you're set for years to come!

Upgrades and Additions

Typically, metal buildings are easier to modify and upgrade than wooden alternatives. This gives you the ability to plan ahead and quickly upgrade your building should you ever require more room in the future.

Why Invest in a Metal Carport?

If you've dropped the money on a shiny new automobile, you know just what an investment they can be. Beyond simply keeping up with a monthly lease or car payment, taking care of your vehicle requires ample amounts of time and energy. And what's one of the most effective ways of keeping that investment as shiny as the day it was purchased? You guessed it; metal carports!

These carports are one of the best ways of ensuring that your vehicles and possessions stay away from harmful elements that may degrade or damage them over time. You won’t need to worry about the sun bleaching your car’s paint job. You won’t have to worry about your tires, hoses, and plugs dry rotting. And you won't have to deal with debris or snow damaging your vehicle during a storm. By choosing a metal carport, you can rest assured knowing your cars will look the same as the day they first rolled through the doors.
