RV & Oversized Units

Tall-Leg & Oversized RV Covers

Large recreational vehicles and equipment need accurate clearance planning. Height, span, enclosure, site exposure, and local review can affect the complete structure design; a tall product example is not itself a wind or snow rating.

1. Height vs. Stability

Height can affect the structural design. The framing and bracing specified for a project depend on its dimensions, site exposure, and required design criteria; there is no universal leg-height threshold that establishes the correct system.

• Frame and Bracing: Check the quoted members, bracing, connections, and any project-specific documents.
• Anchors and Foundation: Confirm the details match the installation surface and the design for the exact site.

2. Clearance Planning

• The "Top Out" Height: Remember that the leg height is the height at the eave (side). The peak of the building will be higher.
• Door Clearance: If enclosing the unit, the roll-up door needs at least 1-2 feet of header space. If you have a 14' RV, you need 15' or 16' legs to accommodate a 14' door.

3. Side Panels for Side Protection

Even on an open RV cover, adding one or two side panels can significantly reduce UV damage on the sides of your RV and tires without sacrificing the airflow needed to prevent mold.

4. Professional Anchoring

Tall or enclosed buildings may change the wind and anchoring questions. Follow the anchor and foundation details for the proposed structure and site rather than assuming one anchor type fits every installation.

Use tall product examples to plan leg height, side protection, and anchoring needs before requesting a quote. The 16 x 40 x 12 vertical RV carport works as a compact long-vehicle reference, while the 18 x 38 x 12 vertical RV carport and 18 x 40 x 14 vertical RV carport help compare wider or taller RV coverage. For an enclosed comparison point, review the 12 x 20 x 10 vertical roof garage.
