How Much Does a Metal Carport Cost?
Metal carports and garages cost $2,199 to $7,499, with most single-vehicle carports priced around $3,999.
Carport and metal garage price depends mainly on footprint size, whether the sides are open or fully enclosed, and roof style. A basic open single-vehicle carport sits at the low end, while a fully enclosed multi-vehicle metal garage reaches the top of the range.
Price by type
| Type | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Open single-vehicle carport | $2,199–$3,200 | Basic roof and support posts for covering one vehicle or equipment. |
| Standard single-vehicle carport | $3,200–$3,999 | The most common configuration, often with partial side panels for wind protection. |
| Double-vehicle carport | $3,999–$5,500 | Wider footprint covering two vehicles side by side. |
| Enclosed metal garage | $5,500–$7,499 | Fully enclosed walls with garage door options, largest footprint in the category. |
What affects the price
Footprint size
Wider and longer structures require more steel framing and roofing, raising the price.
Open vs enclosed sides
Fully enclosed structures with walls and doors cost significantly more than open carports.
Roof style
Regular (A-frame) roofs cost less than boxed-eave or vertical roof styles that shed snow and rain better.
Gauge of steel framing
Heavier gauge steel tubing for the frame adds durability and price, especially in high-wind or snow-load regions.
Site prep and anchoring
Concrete pad installation or additional anchoring for your soil type is typically quoted separately from the structure price.
Bottom line
A standard single-vehicle carport around $3,200-$3,999 covers most homeowners' needs for basic vehicle or equipment protection. Move up to a double carport or enclosed garage only if you need to cover multiple vehicles or want lockable storage.
