A metal carport is a versatile addition to your property. Whether you plan to park your vehicle there or store power equipment inside long-term, you’ll find that a carport provides many benefits. If you’re still on the fence, take a look at the advantages of a carport over building a shed or full garage. 

Why You Should Install a Carport

1. Protection

Protection from the elements is the top reason homeowners choose to build a carport. These affordable metal structures will shield your car and power equipment from damaging hail, heavy rains, mounds of snow, and even the sweltering sun in the summer. And because your belongings will be protected from damage, they’ll have a longer life span. Choose an enclosed model to get the same level of protection as a garage. 

You can also keep valuable equipment out of sight from criminals. For added protection against criminal activity, install motion-sensor lights in the carport.

2. Cost-Effective

Building a garage can be an expensive project, but you can have the same level of protection and storage room with a steel carport. If you’re on a tighter budget, you can choose a model without full walls on the side or a floor. However, if you have more to spare, you can choose a fully enclosed model and even design it to match the color and style of your home. 

3. Flexibility

Carports are easy to install anywhere on your property. You can have them attached to the side of the house or freestanding. And should you change your mind about the location, they’re easy to take apart and move to a different spot.
