It's a 12 x 26 ft black steel carport with a 27-gauge corrugated roof on a 15-gauge powder-coated frame, rated for 30 PSF of snow and 75 mph winds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes with corrugated steel sidewall panels down both long sides, which is worth it if rain or snow tends to blow in sideways at your place. The ends stay open, so you can still drive straight in and out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy honest note: the eave sits at 9.3 ft and the peak at 11 ft. That's plenty for cars, pickups, and most boats on trailers, but measure your tallest vehicle, including any roof rack or tower, before you order. Taller motorhomes may not clear it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love the ALEKO Black Metal Carport\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e27-gauge corrugated steel roof.\u003c\/strong\u003e A galvanized roof with a polyester paint coating keeps sun, rain and hail off your vehicles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15-gauge powder-coated frame.\u003c\/strong\u003e Thick 2-inch square steel tubing with an anti-rust finish holds the structure steady.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated for 30 PSF snow and 75 mph wind.\u003c\/strong\u003e Your carport is built for real weather, not just summer shade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSidewall panels included.\u003c\/strong\u003e Corrugated steel sides block wind-driven rain and snow from the long sides of the bay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstalls on grass or concrete.\u003c\/strong\u003e Set it on any level surface, so you don't need to pour a slab first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack finish.\u003c\/strong\u003e A clean, dark look that blends in better next to a modern home than bare galvanized steel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure this carport fits your property?

The 26 ft length covers 312 sq ft and fits a car, SUV or pickup with space left at the front or back for bikes, a grill or a small trailer. Measure your vehicle bumper to bumper and add a couple of feet so you can walk around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the Sidewalls Matter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sidewall panels block wind-driven rain and snow from the long sides of the bay, and they give your guests' cars a little more shade in the late afternoon. The ends stay open, so it's not a fully enclosed carport or garage, and you can still pull straight in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Gauge Metal Is Best for a Carport?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith steel, a lower gauge number means thicker metal. This carport uses a 15-gauge frame, which carries the load, and a 27-gauge roof, which sheds the weather. Together they're rated for 30 PSF of snow and 75 mph wind. For context, 75 mph is just above the 74 mph where a storm becomes a Category 1 hurricane. If you're in an area with heavy snow or hurricane-force winds, check your local building code before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo You Need a Permit for a Metal Carport?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt depends on where your property is. Many towns and HOAs have rules for carports and other accessory structures, including size limits, setbacks from property lines and anchoring requirements. Rental properties may face extra rules. Check with your local building department and HOA before you build. If you'd like help gathering the specs they ask for, send us an email and we'll share what ALEKO provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a DIY metal carport kit. It ships with the frame, roof panels, sidewalls, all assembly hardware and an instruction manual. At 1,106 lb, plan on a few helpers, ladders and a level site. ALEKO says it can sit on grass, concrete or another level surface, but it doesn't list ground anchors in the kit, so plan anchors that suit your surface. Shipping is free to the contiguous US. ALEKO lists LTL freight at 7 to 20 business days, and rural surcharges may apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant Notes Before You Buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheck your clearance.\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.3 ft at the eave and 11 ft at the peak.
