Metal Carport Price by Size and Roof Style
Size is the key factor in metal carport prices. Larger carports require more materials to build and labor to install. The type of roof also impacts the cost, with regular roofs being cheaper and the more resistant vertical roofs being the most expensive.
Here’s a breakdown of the cost of metal carports by size for each of the three types of roofs.

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 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 |
The price of regular roof metal carports is, on average, 13-24% cheaper than premium vertical roof carports.
While the price of boxed eave roof metal carports is slightly higher than the ones with regular roofs, it’s still 9-18% lower than the price of vertical roof metal carports.
That said, vertical roofs are stronger and can handle heavier snow loads, whereas regular and boxed eave roofs tend to sag under too much snow. Vertical roofs also make clearing snow loads easier since snow tends to slide off.
Cost of Carports per Square Foot
A practical way to estimate the cost of a carport is to look at the cost per square foot. Multiplying that number by the square feet you want to build on can give you an idea of the overall project’s 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.

Your site has the best prices for my area and it was very easy to compare all the options for a carport.
The website is great to use and build your structure very easily as well as view what it will look like. I've enjoyed my experience with Alan's the first time that I've now decided to build a 2nd building with them.
The website was easy to navigate. The details were very easy to find and the virtual view was a nice feature.
The online configuration tool is quick and easy. I had a hard time making a decision on the style, but ended up configuring about three different carports and was able to easily compare the cost, which helped me to decide on the design and style.
Well worth your investment in creating a user friendly custom garage ordering system! It was fun and easy to use this. Thank you for investing in a good developer to create this.
Alan’s did such a great job eight years ago with my first building that I’m not hesitating about buying another one now.
Website is user friendly and staff is always quick to respond with information I've needed.

This is the second rv carport we have purchased from you. We love the product and had excellent service and installation the last time.
Called your 888 number and spoke to Melissa who was very professional, and willing to let me ask all the dumb questions that I needed to ask since I have never done this before. Thank you Melissa.
Customization options are excellent for getting the perfect size and colors, especially if you are trying to match the colors of your house Install was quick and efficient. The team went the extra mile to ensure proper placement and satisfaction.
I found this website terrific for custom building my metal pole barn. I was able to specify each detail and see how it would look and how much it would cost.
Why Are Local Carport Prices Different?
The cost to build a carport will be different if you live in Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, or Pennsylvania. This is due to differences in building standards: Carports must be built to withstand different weather conditions depending on the location.
For instance, custom carport prices in Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, and Pennsylvania are a bit higher because carports in these states must be fully braced with the tubing 4 feet on center, which requires additional labor and materials. Cheap metal carports won’t last in these states’ harsh winters. Florida carport prices are also a bit higher due to unique local building requirements and wind ratings.
