While steel offers greater resistance to damage from weathering and corrosion, the vertical slope design prevents debris and precipitation from accumulating on the roof. Steel also won’t turn chalky and worn looking as the years pass, which can be a problem with standard wood and asphalt roof structures. Triple wide vertical roof carport features include the following:
- 14 gauge galvanized steel framing
- 29 gauge metal roofing with twenty year paint system
- Framing spaced 5’ on center or less
- Includes roof trusses, and leg braces for additional strength and stability
- Base leg height is 6’ tall
What is the difference between a vertical roof carport and an a-frame?
A-frame roofs are both durable and attractive, but they aren’t as strong as top-of-the line vertical roof metal carports.
How much does a vertical roof carport cost?
The cost of a vertical roof carport varies based on size, gauge of galvanized steel, and other customizations. Carport sizes for sale in our inventory include single, double and triple-wide.

What happens next after I purchase my carport?
It can take anywhere from 1-4 weeks to arrange for the installation of your carport, depending on your location and permit process in your area. After purchase, the manufacturer will communicate with you to see if the install site has been prepped and is ready. Once the site is ready, they will share the estimated install time frame with you.
Do I need to prepare the site where my carport will be installed?
Yes. The installation site must be flat & leveled. Depending on where you live, a building permit may be required. Use our Selecting the Best Location for Your Metal Building article as a guide.
What is a Certified Metal Carport?
Certified Metal Buildings are specifically designed to withstand weather conditions like heavy snow fall and high winds. Certification often implies a heavier gauge of steel and is available for an additional cost when specified during purchase.
