The price of your metal carport can fluctuate based on its size, the configuration you choose, its roofing style, the number of doors and windows, framing and paneling thickness, and more. Your metal carport price can even hinge on external factors like raw steel prices, world events, and regional manufacturers' pricing.
In most cases, the total cost of a metal carport can range between $2,500 and 6,000 for a one-car regular roof carport but can be priced as high as $10,000 for larger structures with custom additions.
These cost differences can make nailing down a particular price difficult, especially for first-time buyers. But Get Carports wants to make your purchase easy and hassle-free. Our experts are waiting to provide you with a FREE quote and will walk you through the process from start to finish.

When you begin designing your metal carport, these are the biggest factors that can influence its cost:
The size of your structure can play a big role in the cost of structure. Larger buildings require more steel and will, therefore, increase the price.
Steel prices change daily based on supply, demand, and worldwide logistics. As a result, the steel for your dream building may be more expensive from day to day.
We offer several roofing styles including regular, boxed-eave, and vertical roofing options. These roofs vary in capabilities and price tag, and can alter the final cost of your structure.
Our customization options give you full control over your structure's size, roofing, colors, number of doors, accessories, and much more. However, these add-ons can influence the price of your metal carport.
For customers in regions with severe weather or those taking on heavy-duty projects, you may go from our standard 14-gauge framing and 29-gauge paneling to our thicker 12 and 26-gauge options. These reinforcements can strengthen your structure but will increase its cost.
We make buying your carport easy, but you’ll still likely have several questions about the process and what to expect. To make your metal carport journey easier, we’ve answered some of the most common queries on the subject:

Metal carports are an excellent investment due to their durability, minimal maintenance needs, and cost efficiency. All in all, you'll be hard-pressed to find a structure that is more capable for less.
For a 20x20 carport, the slab might cost an average of $1,600 to $3,200. Concrete slabs range between $4 to $8 per square foot, depending on factors like thickness, reinforcement, and local labor rates.
Building a carport is generally more affordable than constructing a garage. While a carport can cost between $2,000 and $10,000, a garage can range from $15,000 to $40,000 or more.
Installation time varies depending on the carport size and complexity, but most standard metal carports can be installed in a single day. Larger or customized structures might take longer, however.
While metal carports are sturdy, walking on the roof is only recommended if it is designed to support such weight. For maintenance or repairs, always consult the manufacturer or hire a professional to do the job.
