Metal carport for 5th wheel questions
I'm going to be ordering a Carolina Carport or similar for my camper. I'm getting a 18X36' size. It'll be the "regular" style with the curved over sides. My question is...what leg height? I'm curio...

I have a 20' x 40'
These are the options I ordered (2011 prices):
I would not want it any narrower than 20'. Notice the side braces which narrow the opening.
I was relatively pleased with this company and their work. English is not the first language of the company and you have to be careful when ordering oddball things like I did. I have worked with 29 gauge metal before and it is not very thick. I ordered the wind/snow 26 gauge, which is usually only used in Florida or the North. When they showed up, the panels are not marked and I inquired about it and of course they said everything was fine. As it turns out it was the normal stuff and I had to get $1000 back. I have already had a lawn mower send a 1" rock completely through the 29 gauge wall. I did not want the silver standard screws and bought green and brown screws with higher quality washers for them to use from another source.
The extra height in the middle allows me to have room to go on the roof for maintenance like replacing the AC gaskets.
Be sure to get the proper permits and follow the setback requirements. My county must think they are undesirable as they have a 150' offset requirement from the front road right of way. I have 10 acres so this was not a problem.
