Carport

Anybody use one?
Thinking of the inexpensive steel/corrugated roof structures found all over the inter web.

If so, where do you live?
Wind/snow?
What size did you get?
Other thoughts?

Our ADCO was shredded last winter after 6 years or so of use...I am getting tired of replacing those.

Thx, Bill

I have a VersaTube structure, rated at 90 mph wind load and 65 lb. snow load. It’s 30’ long by 12’ wide by 12’ high side wall, with 13.5’ in the peak.

Six years for a cover is great IMO. After you get a roof, you’ll want siding too.

When my camper rests under Portola, for my boat I order metal carport from California all steel carports. It is not cheap, but looks good and I need 80 mph wind rating.
And yes, they come to build it in Las Vegas.
You should start with call to your local Building Dept asking what are local requirements.
