Purchasing a metal carport is an easy decision for anyone that wants to protect their vehicles, RVs, trucks, farm equipment and more. These practical solutions can keep your investment safe from outdoor wear and tear elements, and also serve various other functions. However, not every metal carport you come across will be desirable. It is essential to compare and review your options carefully before making a decision. Consider the following when shopping for a metal carport.
Metal Carport Kits Are More than a Protective Shelter
A metal carport can meet all your needs for outside storage space. Whether you want a safe space for your truck or fancy an outdoor patio, these fabrications are more than mere protective shelters. You can also finish the installation with minimal added labor, since no cutting, trimming, sawing, or onsite modifications are needed.
Carports can be used to shelter your vehicle and other valuable equipment from sunlight, excess moisture, dust, dirt and more. They can also provide a dry, safe space to set up an outdoor patio or covered picnic area. If you are looking for prefabricated metal carports, our kits are ideal. They are easily customizable, allowing you to create the design that best fits your unique needs.

Questions to Ask When Purchasing a New Metal Carport
1. What Size Carport Do You Need?
Metal carport kits are fabricated for specific space requirements. You can purchase kits for sheltering a vehicle, RV, boat, or a fleet. Before purchasing a metal carport building, ask yourself these three questions:
- What will you be storing under your metal carport?
- Are you storing more than just vehicles?
- How tall is your vehicle?
You can measure what you intend to shelter to ensure you order the right size carport to make sure it is large enough to accommodate what you are protecting. For instance, if you are planning to store an RV, it should be spacious enough to shelter the vehicle and allow you to park and load items with ease. It is also crucial to ensure your carport is the right height for your vehicles.
2. Where Are You Installing Your Steel Carport?
Where the carport will be installed is just as critical as what you will be sheltering. It is important to ensure the site is level and has enough space to accommodate the carport. Carports function better when installed on a flat surface, so the area may require some preparation as part of the installation process. You should measure the length and width of the area as well as the height of the structure you plan to install. Your carport should also be located a safe distance from the house, other structures and power grids as specified by your city’s building regulations.
3. Do Local Building Regulations Require That Your Carport Design Plans Be Certified?
Some places experience more snow and stronger winds than others, and local building regulations may require certification of the building plans before construction. The structures built by Future Buildings are designed to meet the snow, wind and seismic loads in your area, so you don’t have to worry.
4. Does Your New Metal Carport Need Additional Strength or Support?
Metal carport buildings feature no trusses and additional bows. However, the minimalistic design takes nothing away from the structure’s strength. Since they are steel carport kits, these buildings offer top strength and resistance to the elements.
5. How Much Do Metal Carports Cost?
There is no standard pricing for metal carports since each customer has unique needs. Carports are generally priced based on the size you need and customizations. You can check out our clearance buildings to compare existing models and styles or work with us to create custom designs.
