Metal RV Shelter or carport in Minnesota?
I have searched the web for a metal RV shelter and found lots of companies from other parts of the country that build metal RV Shelters. But, I would really like to have someone local do it - And can'...

That's interesting about snow load. I have never seen more than 4 inches of snow stay on any of my pole barn roofs here in Minnesota - Or any roof for that matter. We have had more snow than that of course, but since the roof is slanted it doesn't stay on it. Especially with metal roofs. I can understand if it was a flat roof - Those are the only roofs I have ever seen cave in due to snow anywhere.
Many people around me have both the fabric covered and the metal covered and snow has never been a problem for them. Even some of the fabric ones have been up for a decade with no problems (shaded areas). Unfortunately the ones who have the metal RV shelters had them there when they bought the property and don't know who installed them.
Lester buildings wants $15,000 to build a carport (not mistyping). That is only 3 times what I paid for my entire pole barn 15 years ago (with me and hired help building it), and about the same as I paid for my trailer. That is ridiculously overpriced. I could have another pole barn delivered and built for that price even these days. I just don't need another barn.
Alansfactoryoutlet.com wants $1900 installed, and they say they will install it here. The metal is the same specs that Lester and Menards gave.
Looks like I will either use one of the national places or get a kit and put it up myself. Thanks!
