Metal storage cover

I recently moved into a new home. My RV parking grew from my last home and i just finished up the fence and new RV gate. I have 14'8" from my fence to my home. My last home only had 11' so I had a soft cover, which I didn't like anyway.

So, considering a metal carport to put in. Who has one, did you go through a company and what size? I can put a kit together easily but if a company can do it cheap...sure. I do have concrete so there is that. My home is a two story so no height restrictions.

FWIW I was looking at metal canopies a few days ago. The installed price was very reasonable.

I've seen several in our area that have held up for years under heavy snow loads, and they are in excellent condition.

And the metal Canopy can be dismantled and moved.

I wouldn't build one unless you're concerned about aesthetics. I'd go with the metal canopy and have then dealer install it.

Make sure you don't have set back restrictions where you live.

West Coast (West Coast Metal Buildings)is just outside of Salem.. probably one of the biggest suppliers of the inexpensive car ports.

I couldn't even think about buying the materials for less than they will show up and install the entire thing.

They work; sometimes ugly, sometimes they fit the area. A bit utilitarian. We're probably going to throw another one up for the camper. Great deal/value for the dollars spent.
