How much does a metal carport cost?
Prices start at $2,600 for a basic 12 x 20 x 6 classical roof carport. A fully enclosed building with the proper reinforcements can cost $20,000-$40,000. Delivery and installation are included in the price. As a dealer, we provide the same price as our manufacturer. Norcal Carports does not charge any additional fees. Stamped advanced plans and calculations are extra and paid directly to the certified engineer. These are necessary in counties that require a permit.

1. Gauge Type For Base Frame
12 gauge steel tubing is the recommended gauge for regions with heavy winds, snow, and rain. 20 Year 100 MPH Wind Rate Warranty.
The 14 gauge steel framing is more economical and comes with a 1-year Workmanship Warranty.
2. Metal Roof Type
Classical Roof Style
The Classical style steel carport comes with rolled corners and is designed to be strong, durable, and cost-effective. If you are looking for a basic car or RV cover and don’t have snow in your region, this option is perfect.
Boxed-Eave Roof Style
Boxed eave roof carports give you the A-Frame look but the panels run horizontal, or front to back. If you have heavy rain or snow, we recommend the vertical A-Frame roof style.

If you are installing a steel structure onto dirt, we recommend using mobile home anchors to fasten and secure the frame to the ground. The mobile home anchors are included in the final estimate.
Asphalt Foundation
Steel buildings and carports can be installed on asphalt using asphalt anchors. This will ensure your building is securely fastened to the foundation.
Carport Installation Anchors
