Protect One of Your Biggest Investments with a Carport
For most of us, a vehicle isn't "just a vehicle." It's the truck you've dreamed about, the classic you only take out on weekends, the SUV that gets your family everywhere, or the project car you swear you're going to finish one day. In other words, it's a big investment that deserves better than baking in the sun or getting damaged in bad weather.
A metal carport is one of the smartest, most affordable ways to protect your ride. Unlike temporary shelters or flimsy canopies, a well-built steel carport offers dependable, long-term coverage without the price tag of a full garage. Installing a high-quality steel building on your property has never been easier or more affordable!
At H&H Truck and Outdoor, our fully engineered, customizable metal carports are designed with real life in mind. Whether you're wrenching, restoring, or just trying to keep your new truck looking new, we've got a structure that will fit your specific needs and look great while doing it.
Let's break down all the ways a carport can make your life a little easier.
Shade, Space, and No Rainy Days
Every dedicated mechanic (or weekend hobbyist) inevitably runs into the same problem: You plan a big weekend project, pull the car halfway apart... and then the sky opens up.
A metal carport solves that problem. It keeps your workspace covered, dry, and shaded so you can focus on the job, not the weather forecast.
With a quality carport, you get:
- A dry place to tackle repairs and installations
- Shade that makes summer work bearable
- Room to move tools, jacks, and parts
- Optional side panels for extra protection
It's like creating a garage-sized workspace without the garage-sized price. For specialized coverage, check out our Metal Utility Carports or Metal Workshops.
Classic Car Lover? Store Your Beauty the Right Way
If you own a classic car (or you're saving for your dream one), you know these vehicles need a little extra love. UV rays, moisture, falling tree limbs, and pollen—classic cars are magnets for things that can ruin a paint job or speed up rust.
The H&H metal carport gives your classic:
- A shielded, cooler resting place, protecting the interior from fading and degradation due to the harshness of the sun's UVA and UVB rays
- A barrier against rain and moisture, reducing the risk of rust
- Plenty of clearance for wider and longer vehicles

New Vehicle? Keep it Looking New Longer
Today's vehicles aren't cheap. And after spending that kind of money, the last thing you want is sun-faded paint, hail dents, or cracked interiors.
A metal carport helps you avoid all of that by providing reliable, year-round coverage. With a carport in your driveway, you'll protect your vehicle from:
- Fading, peeling, and oxidation
- Hail and flying debris
- Heavy rain and storms
- Sap, pollen, and leaves
Think of a carport like low-cost insurance. Instead of paying for repairs down the road, you prevent the damage in the first place. For extra storage needs, our Lean-to Metal Buildings can give you the additional space you need alongside your main building.

Choosing Your Perfect Metal Carport: Key Features
To ensure your investment stands up to the elements and meets your specific needs, customizing your metal carport is key. At H&H Truck and Outdoor, we give you control over the materials and design, providing a structure that matches your exact needs.
Here are the key features you can customize to build the best structure for your property:
Roof Styles: The Protection Layer
The roof style you choose impacts both the aesthetic and the snow/rain shedding ability of your carport.
Understanding Metal Gauges: Durability and Strength
The gauge of the metal refers to its thickness. The lower the number, the thicker and stronger the steel.
- 14-Gauge Steel Frame: Our frames are built strong with 14-gauge Steel that is triple-coat protected from corrosion and rust, providing a smooth finish. This is the industry standard and offers excellent durability for most residential applications.
- 29-Gauge Metal Sheets: Our metal sheets are 29-gauge and come with a 20-year manufacturer's paint warranty.
Sizes, Enclosures, and Accessories
Remember, these structures are completely customizable! You can select and add features that turn a simple cover into a full metal garage or utility storage unit:
- Custom sizing: Our carports come in standard widths of 12 to 60 feet and start at 20 feet long, increasing by increments of 5. Standard height starts at 7 feet and can be upgraded upon request.
- Optional Wall Panels: Add partial side panels for wind deflection or fully enclose the structure to create a secure, lockable space—essentially building a fully functional metal garage. Wall sheeting is available in 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-foot panels.
- Doors and Windows: For enclosed structures, integrate Roll-Up Garage Doors, Walk-In Doors, or Windows right into the design.
DIY or Expert Installation: Understanding Your Options

FAQs: Metal Carports
How much does a metal carport cost compared to building a garage?
A metal carport is significantly more affordable than building a traditional garage. While a full garage can cost tens of thousands of dollars and take weeks or months to complete, a metal carport provides the same weather protection at a fraction of the cost. H&H metal carports are budget-friendly, faster to install, and can be customized with features like side panels, doors, and windows. You get serious vehicle protection without the serious price tag, making it a smart investment for protecting your car, truck, or classic vehicle.
What gauge metal should I choose for my carport?
H&H carports use 14-gauge steel frames and 29-gauge metal sheets, which provide excellent durability for residential applications. The gauge number indicates metal thickness—lower numbers mean thicker, stronger steel. The 14-gauge steel frame is triple-coat protected from corrosion and rust, while the 29-gauge metal sheets come with a 20-year manufacturer's paint warranty. This combination offers the ideal balance of strength, weather resistance, and long-term value for protecting your vehicle from sun, hail, rain, and debris.
Can I turn a metal carport into a fully enclosed garage?
Yes, absolutely! H&H metal carports are completely customizable and can be transformed into fully enclosed metal garages. You can add optional wall panels in 3-, 6-, 9-, or 12-foot sections to create partial side protection or fully enclose the entire structure. For enclosed designs, you can integrate roll-up garage doors, walk-in doors, and windows right into the building. This flexibility allows you to start with a basic carport and upgrade it over time, or build a complete enclosed garage from the beginning based on your budget and needs.
How long does it take to install a metal carport?
Installation time depends on whether you choose professional setup or a DIY kit. With H&H's professional on-site installation, your carport can be up and operational on your ready property in a short period—often just days. Our expert team handles delivery and setup using precise methods and professional expertise. If you prefer the DIY route, H&H offers pre-engineered cold-formed steel building kits that are easy to install without hiring professionals. These kits come in stock, ready for pickup, and include everything you need to complete your project.
What roof style is best for a metal carport?
The best roof style depends on your local climate and aesthetic preferences. H&H offers three main roof styles: Regular (rounded/barn-style) roofs are the most economical option and work well in mild climates. A-Frame (boxed eave) roofs provide better water runoff and a more traditional appearance. Vertical roofs are the premium choice, offering the best rain and snow shedding capability—ideal for areas with heavy precipitation or snow loads. The vertical roof design channels water and snow straight down the sides, preventing buildup and extending your carport's lifespan.
