Metal Carports for Cars, Trucks, Trailers, and Equipment

A metal carport is one of the simplest ways to add covered protection to your property. It gives you a place to park vehicles, trailers, mowers, small equipment, and other items you do not want sitting out in the weather. Our open-sided carports are a practical option when you want overhead protection without the cost or complexity of a fully enclosed building. They can be sized to protect one vehicle, two vehicles, a work truck, a trailer, or a mix of equipment.

Carports With Storage for Tools, Mowers, and Outdoor Gear

Sometimes a basic carport is not quite enough. You need a covered place to park and an enclosed area for tools, mowers, outdoor gear, feed, small equipment, or other items that should not sit exposed. Our utility and combo-style layouts give you covered parking and enclosed storage in one structure. They give homeowners a place for the mower, garden tools, and extra outdoor supplies, and business owners storage for equipment, parts, tools, or jobsite materials.

RV Carports and Boat Covers

Before ordering an RV carport or boat cover, think through the height, width, roof style, side coverage, and access that you are going to need. You do not want to order a structure that looks right on paper but feels too tight once it is installed.

Here is a list of things we recommend considering:

  • Overall vehicle height
  • Clearance for AC units or accessories
  • Width with mirrors and slide-outs
  • Turning and backing space
  • Open-sided vs enclosed protection
  • Roof style and water runoff
  • Property placement

If the structure is being installed over an already set-up RV, a $200 build-over fee applies.

Metal Garages and Enclosed Carports

An open metal carport is a good fit for basic covered parking. But if you need more security, weather protection, or enclosed storage, a metal garage may be the better choice.

Metal garages can include features like enclosed sides and ends, roll-up doors, walk-in doors, windows, and custom layouts. That makes them a good option for vehicles, tools, equipment, storage, or shop.

Insulation Options for Metal Carports, Garages, and Buildings

If you plan to use your metal building as anything beyond basic covered parking, insulation is a big upgrade. In a garage, workshop, or storage space, insulation can help reduce heat and condensation for improved comfort.

Our available insulation options include:

Bubblewrap Insulation

A simple, inexpensive way to add insulation to your building.

Radiant Vapor Barrier Insulation Icon

R-16 Radiant Vapor Barrier

A 2-inch fiberglass insulation option that can help with radiant heat and moisture control.

spray foam insulation icon

Spray Foam

A good option for buyers who want a more air-tight enclosed space. Spray foam is useful for workshops, garages, or storage buildings that are going to be climate controlled.

Insulation may help:

  • Reduce heat buildup
  • Help with condensation control
  • Make enclosed buildings more usable
  • Add comfort for workshop or garage use
  • Help protect stored items from harsher temperature swings

Planning Your Site Before Your Carport Is Installed

Choosing your new metal building is only part of the project. You also need to think through where it will go and what needs to be ready before the installation crew arrives.

Things to consider before installation:

  • Access for installation crews
  • Local permit or code compliance
  • Future storage or workspace needs
  • Sitework, including: leveling and gravel or concrete pad
  • Property placement, including: clearance and vehicle turning space

Sitework is available through EastSide for an extra charge. This should be discussed before the order is finalized.

Concrete Planning

Concrete is not required for your carport, but it is often preferred for a cleaner, more permanent setup. Eastside Storage Sales offers concrete installation and assists in planning your metal building’s concrete needs.

Base concrete pricing commonly includes:

  • 12″ x 12″ footer with rebar
  • 4-inch-thick concrete pad
  • Fiber reinforced or wire reinforced slab
  • 6 mil vapor barrier

Pitt County requires a larger footer. Check your local codes to ensure that you get the concrete you need.

Design Your Carport in 3D Before You Order

Not sure what size, color, roof style, doors, or enclosed options you want? Use the 3D builder to explore your options before making a final decision.
