Metal Carports Installed at Your Home or Business
Shade your vehicles or make a covered spot outside. These use solid steel frames that stay put through wind and weather. Skyline Metal Buildings delivers and installs carports from Sevierville, Tennessee, across 21 states.
What can a metal carport cover?
Cars and trucks are the obvious answer, but our customers also cover boats, side-by-sides, tractors, firewood, and outdoor work areas. A carport is the lowest-cost way to put a steel roof over anything that should not sit in the sun and rain. Single-car, double-car and triple-wide layouts are all standard, and longer units cover a truck and trailer end to end.
Which carport roof style should I choose?
There are three common styles. A regular roof has rounded eaves and is the most economical. A boxed-eave (A-frame) roof has a house-style pitch with horizontal panels. A vertical roof runs the panels top to bottom so rain, leaves and snow slide off, which is the choice for heavy snow areas and for longer carports. We will tell you which one makes sense for your climate and budget.
Can a carport be partially enclosed?
Yes. Adding gable ends, side panels or a closed back wall blocks blowing rain and sun from the side without the cost of a full garage. Many people start with an open carport and add panels later, since the frame is designed for it.
How is a carport anchored?
Carports are anchored to whatever level base you have: concrete, asphalt, gravel or bare ground, each with the appropriate anchor type. Your quote lists what is required for your site. A photo of the spot with your quote request helps us get the anchoring right the first time.

Metal Carports: common questions
How much does a metal carport cost?
It depends on the size, roof style and any side panels you add. The free 3D builder prices a carport as you design it, or call Nathan at 865-963-5093 for a number over the phone.
Do I need a permit for a carport?
It varies by county. Many areas do not require a permit for an open carport under a certain size, but some do. Check with your local building office and tell us what they ask for.
Can a carport be installed on a slope?
A gentle slope can often be handled with leg adjustments, but a carport needs a reasonably level site. Send us a photo and we will tell you whether the spot needs grading first.
