At Alan’s Factory Outlet, you can tailor your metal carport to fit your needs and style using a wide array of options. Each of these options can potentially impact the final carport price:
| Customization Options for Metal Carports | |
|---|---|
| Size | Choose the width and length you need for your space and vehicles. |
| Height | Select the ideal leg height to accommodate campers, trucks, boats, RVs, or equipment. |
| Roof Style | Pick from three distinct looks and functionalities: Regular: Most economical, traditional rounded eaves. Boxed Eave: A-frame appearance with horizontal roof panels. Vertical: Strongest A-frame option with vertical panels; best for shedding snow and rain. |
| Frame Strength | Opt for standard durable 14-gauge steel tubing or upgrade to heavy-duty 12-gauge frame carports for increased strength. |
| Steel Sheeting | Our structures are built with high-quality standard-gauge steel sheeting for lasting protection. In Florida, we upgrade the sheeting to 26-gauge steel for added strength. |
| Colors | You can personalize your carport with a selection of different colors for the roof, trim, and side panels. |
| Walls and Siding | Choose your level of enclosure: Open: Roof cover only. Partial Sides: Add panels for sturdiness and extra protection from wind and sun. Fully Enclosed: Create a secure, garage-like structure. |
| Certification | Stay compliant with local building codes by choosing certified carports engineered for your area: Wind Ratings: Standard certification up to 150 mph, with upgrades available for 170 mph. Snow Loads: Standard ratings (35 psf), with upgrades available for heavier snow up to 50 psf. |
Metal Carport Price by Size and Roof Style
Size is the biggest factor in metal carport pricing. Larger structures use more materials and take more labor to install, which raises the cost. Roof style also plays a role — regular roofs are the most affordable, while vertical roofs offer the highest durability at a higher price.
Here’s a breakdown of metal carport prices by size for each roof type.

Metal Carport Cost by Roofing Style
The type of roof you choose gives your carport a unique style and adds functionality, but it also impacts the price. Here are three common roofing styles for metal carports, along with key benefits to help you decide which one suits your needs:
- Regular. This is the most budget-friendly option. Its curved roof design provides basic protection and is ideal for areas with mild weather.
- Boxed Eave. Offers a cleaner, more traditional look with a horizontal roof panel design. It offers moderate strength and is suitable for regions with light rain or snow.
- Vertical. The most durable and weather-resistant option. Its vertical panels allow snow, rain, and debris to slide off easily, making it ideal for heavy snow loads and extreme weather conditions.
Here are some price ranges for different-sized carports with different roof styles:
| Roof Style | Single-Wide Carport(12′-20′ x 20′-35′) | Double-Wide Carport(22′-24′ x 20′-35′) | Triple-Wide Carport(26′-30′ x 20′-35′) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regular | $1,295-$2,795 | $1,895-$3,395 | $2,795-$5,195 |
| Boxed Eave | $1,395-$3,095 | $1,995-$3,995 | $2,895-$5,495 |
| Vertical | $1,695-$3,595 | $2,395-$4,395 | $3,195-$6,095 |
Cost of Carports per Square Foot
One easy way to estimate your carport cost is by looking at the price per square foot. Just multiply that by the total square footage you want, and you’ll have a good idea of your project’s overall cost.
Depending on the roof design, a simple roof-only steel carport will cost an average of between $4.56 and $5.74 per square foot.
| Roof Style | Average | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | $4.56 | $3.48-$5.40 |
| Boxed Eave | $5.01 | $4.21-$6.10 |
| Vertical | $5.74 | $4.88-$7.07 |
So, for example, if you want to quickly estimate how much a 20’ x 20’ prefab metal carport (400 square feet) will cost, it’ll be between:
($4.56/square foot) x (400 square feet) = $1,824
And
($5.74/square foot) x (400 square feet) = $2,296
Remember, these are just practical estimates, and prices vary by location, materials, size, and other factors. If you want to know exactly how much your carport will cost, use our 3D Builder and get accurate real-time prices.

Why Are Local Carport Prices Different?
The cost of a carport varies by state, as each location has its own building standards and weather conditions to consider.
For example, in Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, carports must be fully braced with tubing set 4 feet on center. This added strength requires more labor and materials, which increases the price, but it’s necessary for durability in harsh winters. In Florida, prices are also slightly higher due to strict local building codes and wind-rating requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get quick answers to common questions about carport pricing, installation, and customization. From concrete pad size to roof style options, here’s everything you need to know before ordering your custom structure.
We can install your carport or metal garage on different surfaces:
Concrete – Anchor into concrete (no extra charge).
Gravel, grass or dirt – Anchor with rebar or mobile home anchors (required for certified buildings).
Asphalt – 32-inch rebar spikes.
Certified buildings for 150 mph winds and 35 psf snow load come with mobile home anchors. Not sure which one to choose? We can help!
Foundation requirements depend on the metal building size, its intended use, and your local building codes. Always check local regulations first for specific size, thickness, or footing requirements.
We recommend your concrete slab to be at least one foot longer and one foot wider than your metal building, but you can make it bigger if you want to have a small wraparound sidewalk.
You can use our Concrete Pad Size Calculator as a general guideline for planning, but keep in mind that local codes supersede our recommendations.
We offer free delivery and installation in multiple states! Check if your state is listed here and see if we deliver to you.
A good rule of thumb is to make your carport at least one foot taller than your highest vehicle—including any roof racks or A/C units. If you plan to enclose it later, keep in mind that closed gables slightly reduce clearance.
For exact measurements, use our Height Clearance Calculator!

Yes, you can choose from a wide array of colors for your roof and frames and also for any custom side covers you wish to add.
Yes! You can choose between a regular roof (horizontal panels and rounded shape near the legs), a more modern boxed eave design (A-frame with horizontal panels and boxed eaves), or a premium vertical roof.
No, it’s not strictly necessary. In addition to concrete, we can install your carport on dirt, a gravel pad, or asphalt. All we require is that the site be clear and level. A concrete slab foundation provides the best support and anchorage for a metal carport.
Carports are much more affordable than garages of the same size and leg height. They provide a cost-effective alternative for protecting vehicles and other belongings while maximizing accessibility.
