Build Your Own Carolina Carport With Our Simple Tool
Our online 3D Carport Builder tool makes it easy to design a Carolina carport that fits your space, vehicles, and weather needs.
Carport Roof Style Comparison
Pick a roof style to start your build. Metal carports come in three profiles:
Regular
With rounded edges
Boxed-eave
With an A-frame look
Vertical
For water and snow runoff
Next, pick the size. The builder supports everything from single-car covers to wide RV carports with room for tall vehicles and extra gear. Adjust the width, length, and height, and decide whether you want open sides or added wall panels for more coverage.
You can also choose colors, trim, and gable ends, add garage doors or walk-in doors, and select your anchoring option: soil, gravel, or concrete. The builder updates your design in real time so you know exactly what your carport will look like before you order.
If you want a fully enclosed carport, Carolina Carports also has metal garages available.

Every person that I talk to on the phone was great! The installation crew was wonderful! I am very pleased with the overall purchase, Thank you,
The online metal carport configurator on this site is incredible. The level of detail and modularity is outstanding, and I don't know of any other retailer that can compete. Every price is clearly defined, which gave me total peace of mind and made the entire buying process incredibly easy!
Amazing website, great color options, very competitive pricing, simple and easy ordering, building, and plan delivery, phone operator picked up quickly and is locally based. Totally blown away, wouldn't have a workshop without them.
Very satisfied with the turnout of my carport, was installed perfectly, and professionally, price was very reasonable compared to other dealers , actually was less, the online process let me be the architect of my carport, this was my second carport, definitely recommend allans
I checked around with others, You Site easy to navigate and make changes if necessary. So far so good A+A+A+
Love the build your carport app and called to ask a few questions and the lady answering the phone was very helpful.
Super easy to design the carport and choose my options. Am certain that delivery and installation will be the same.
Although. it took longer for the actual delivery of our carport and build than we anticipated, when it did happen, it was quick and professional and we are thrilled. Highly recommend!!
This is my second building I have ordered. The first building has performed superbly. The crew that put it up was efficient and did a great job.
How likely to use again? well this is the second time to use them and also planning a third in the future. Can't beat the price, no worrying about getting materials or delivery just prep site and they do the rest.
Quick and easy to build. It's great to see the prices adjust for each upgrade chosen as well.
The web site is very easy to use. I went through designing a carport several times and it's very easy to use. I also called several times with a bunch of questions and each woman I spoke with was extremely helpful.
I was impressed with the customer service call last week and decided to complete the purchase online.
It was very user friendly and organized. Pricing was offered for every feature added and the sum total was visible the entire time. The 360 degree visual of selections was great. Each feature had a brief description. Other companies should take note. I have not seen this anywhere else
Website is very user friendly. Customer service answered all questions regarding customization (thanks Karen). The entire process was quick.
It is easy to navigate and I can see the carport the way I wanted to look because of the 3D viewing.
You have the only site for metal buildings that i could find that actually makes the process easy! Thank you for that!
The 3D design tools and the customization options really made Alan's the best choice. So many of the competition did not offer the size garage I wanted.
Love the 3-D Builder! Called with a few questions and Emily provided answers for all of them. So far, so good.
The building is just what was ordered and the installers were very professional, courteous and timely.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Carolina carport refers to a rounded‑eave roof style of metal carport that many customers recognize for its versatile shelter over vehicles, boats, or equipment. It’s also tied to Carolina Carports, Inc., based in Dobson, North Carolina, which manufactures metal carports, steel structures, metal barns, and garages, and distributes them through a network of dealers like Alan’s Factory Outlet.
We know budget matters, so we work hard to offer Carolina carports at competitive prices. Our base models start at $1,295. You can also add features like roll-up doors, walk-in doors, or wall panels to protect your valuables.
To make purchasing easier, financing options like rent-to-own are available for your metal building, whether it’s a storage shed, metal barn, or Carolina carport.
With flexible financing, clear terms, and a full selection of products, Alan’s Factory Outlet helps you get the structure you need without stress or surprises.
Yes. When ordered through Alan’s Factory Outlet, carports and metal garages can be certified for local wind and snow loads to meet building codes. A certified carport typically comes with engineered drawings showing ratings like 150 mph wind and 35 psf snow load in many regions.
In northern states, many structures are certified automatically for 150 mph and 40 psf, with optional upgrades for heavier snow if needed. You can request certification paperwork once your order is placed.
Delivery timing varies based on your location, the size of the carport, and seasonal demand. Alan’s Factory Outlet shows estimated delivery times when you enter your ZIP code, because delivery times differ by region and manufacturer workload. Visit our Delivery Time Frame page to view estimated delivery times for your area.
Once delivered, installation is scheduled with a local crew. Small carports like 12×20 or 20×20 can be assembled in a few hours, and larger ones like 24×20 or 30×20 typically take a full day.
