Carports are the perfect way to keep your vehicle and other possessions protected from exposure to nature’s elements such as rain, hail, or even heat from the sun. Enclosing a carport can easily be done and you can install whichever size you need; single, double or even a triple design. Whether you need a carport for a car, truck, boat, or even farm equipment, it can be done! Besides the obvious benefits carports have, there are several other benefits that installing a carport can give you.
Benefits:
- Increases the resale value of your house
- Simple installation
- Very affordable
- Some models can be disassembled and relocated, if needed
- Customizable for your preferences
Even though the top and frame of these structures are very lightweight, they are however extremely durable and sturdy. Some models are open on the sides, but some designs may have full or partial sides, providing even greater protection from the elements of nature. Carports come in a number of different widths and heights. Metal carports can be found to comfortably fit one to three cars depending on if you are in need of a single carport, double carport, and triple carport. They also come in a diversity of colors and you can choose the color that matches your vehicle or house.
Certified or Non-certified
Whether you are in need for single, double or triple sized carports, they can either be certified or non-certified. Certification is available on all of our carport designs and certified structures are backed by an engineer’s stamped approval. Non-certified carports are not load rated but are perfect for agricultural uses like a farm equipment shelter.
A carport can be a useful addition to your home. They offer protection and safety on your vehicles against unpleasant occurrences. A carport not only increases the value of your home, it looks and gives your home a bit of a personal touch.

It’s your baby – it’s your obsession – it’s your great source of enjoyment. You’re not going to let it sit lonely out in the weather, are you?

Some rely on flimsy boat covers, but we know those thin fabric covers really aren’t the best protection.

Car covers have come a long way from their humble beginnings as simple open sided shelters. Buyers now have numerous options in almost every aspect of car covers from size to functionality. For this reason, it’s important for a buyer to assess several issues prior to making a purchase.
They are:
* Intended use – Car covers are extremely versatile, providing shelter, storage, and other capabilities. They can be used as boat slip covers, as winter shelter for farm animals and additional space for either an office or a home, making it essential to define potential uses. The intended uses will then determine the size, type of structure, and whether any customization work is necessary. Customization work can include insulation, storage shelving, wiring for electricity, etc. Other contingencies should be considered as well, such as local weather conditions. Typically severe conditions, for example, might indicate for an enclosed car cover made of steel as opposed to a lighter material such as aluminum to bear heavy snow loads or to stand up against high winds.
* The budget – Metal car covers are a very cost effective alternative to other options for shelter, storage, and room additions. Budget constraints can determine whether a structure will be made of wood or a less expensive option such as metal. The budget can also determine the amount of customization that can be done on the car cover.
* The need for portability – Portable car covers can serve many purposes including provision of shade at outdoor events, covering walkways, and sheltering livestock. Metal and aluminum car covers are usually easy to take apart and re-assemble but the difference in weights could be a deciding factor. A buyer should be certain that the heavier weight of a metal car cover is manageable; otherwise an aluminum car cover will be the better choice.
* Going it alone – The basic car cover versions offer simple assembly, even with some addition of custom features. Assembly naturally becomes more complicated when features such as electrical wiring, insulation, and temperature controls are added. Many car cover providers offer free installation with the purchase so if the assembly of the structure starts looking complicated going with a company that will do the installation as a part of the deal can save a lot of aggravation and money. Car covers come in a variety of sizes and cover a multiple of uses. By assessing these issues first, buyers can ensure that they’re buying the best solution for their needs.
