Durable Metal and Steel Carports: Custom Vehicle Protection

When you want to protect your vehicles, equipment, and property from the damaging effects of sun, snow, and shifting weather conditions, the right structure makes all the difference. Our metal carports are built from 14-gauge galvanized American steel to give you long-lasting, low-maintenance protection at a price that makes sense. Whether you need a simple car cover or a large prefab carport for your RV, Newmart Builders has a configuration that fits your property and budget.

Carport Styles Offered by Newmart Builders

Whether you need to cover a car, truck, SUV, motorcycle, lawn tractor, or large recreational vehicle, there is a roof style that fits your situation. Our custom metal carports and custom steel carports are available in multiple sizes and configurations, so you get exactly what your property needs.

Regular Roof Carports

The regular roof style features rounded corners and horizontal metal panels, making it the most affordable of our steel carport options. It is a practical, dependable choice for mild climates where heavy snow loads are not a primary concern. You can personalize your carport with front or back panels, doors, windows, and your choice of siding color.

Boxed-Eave Carports

The boxed-eave style, also called the A-frame style, gives your carport a traditional peaked roof with horizontal panels on both the roof and sides. It offers better water runoff than the regular style and a cleaner, more finished appearance. If curb appeal matters to you and you want a structure that complements your home’s look, this is a strong mid-range option. Customize it with panels, doors, windows, and 14 color choices.

Vertical Roof Carports

The vertical roof style is our premium option and the one we most often recommend for areas that see heavy snow or frequent rain. The roof panels run from the ridge down to the eave, so snow and water shed off quickly rather than sitting on top and adding weight. Our 2×3 framing option pairs perfectly with the vertical roof for added structural strength in demanding weather conditions.

About Our Steel Carports

Our prefab metal carports are made from 14-gauge galvanized American steel framing and 29-gauge steel sheeting. Galvanized steel goes through a zinc-coating process during manufacturing that helps it resist rust and corrosion over time, which is why our structures carry a 20-year limited warranty against framing rust-through with regular care and maintenance.

Every Newmart Builders building now includes 40-year sheeting. This upgrade delivers enhanced fade resistance, superior defense against the elements, and outstanding long-term value.

Our certified metal carports are built to meet 130-mph, three-second wind gust speeds and 30-pound snow load requirements. When you need a structure that will hold up in real weather, these specifications matter.

A note on steel gauge: Newmart Builders uses 14-gauge steel framing and 2×3 framing options. Our structures are engineered and certified to meet real wind and snow load requirements, so you can trust that your building is built to perform.

Our dealers are located across the Mid-Atlantic region. You can find a Newmart Builders dealer in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, South Carolina, and Delaware. Contact us for a list of dealers near you.

Carport Options and Add-Ons

Your prefab carport can be built to do more than just keep the rain off.
Here is a look at what you can add to make your structure work exactly the way you need it to.

Additional Doors

If one entrance is not enough, or the standard configuration does not fit your layout, ask about our service doors and roll-up doors. Roll-up doors are available in 6×6 and 10×12 sizes, providing flexible drive-through or walk-in access.

Building Certification

Your prefabricated carport can be certified to meet local wind and snow load requirements. This is often required for permit applications and gives you an additional layer of confidence in your structure. Certified doors are also available for an additional fee.

Windows

If you plan to fully enclose your carport or use it as a workspace, windows can bring in natural light and improve airflow. Let us know what you need, and we will build it in.

DRIPSTOP Condensation Barrier

Temperature changes cause condensation to form under metal roofs. DRIPSTOP is a felt membrane that absorbs moisture and releases it back into the air rather than letting it sit and cause rust or structural damage. It is a smart addition if you plan to store vehicles, tools, or equipment inside your carport long-term.

Color Options

Choose from 14 standard color options to match your home or property. Classic black, white, green, burgundy, and more are available. You can also upgrade to a camo-patterned finish, ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and rural properties, or choose our wood-grain finish for a warm, rustic look with the strength and longevity of steel underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions

You have questions about metal carports, and we want to make sure you have the right answers before you buy. Here are some of the most common things homeowners ask us before getting started.

In most cases, these terms are used interchangeably. Metal carport is a broad term that can refer to structures made from steel, aluminum, or other metals. A steel carport specifically uses steel as the primary material. At Newmart Builders, all our metal carports are built with galvanized steel framing, which provides greater strength and weather resistance than aluminum in most conditions.

Permit requirements vary by state, county, and municipality. In many areas, a permanent metal structure does require a permit before installation. After your deposit is placed, Newmart Builders provides your engineer drawings, which you can submit to your local permitting office. We recommend checking with your local zoning authority before finalizing your order to ensure you have a clear picture of what is required.

With regular care and maintenance, our steel carports carry a 20-year limited warranty against rust-through of the framing. Galvanized steel is designed to resist corrosion over time, but routine upkeep, including clearing debris off the roof, checking fasteners, and touching up any exposed areas, will help your structure reach and exceed that lifespan.

Yes. Many customers start with an open carport and add side panels, doors, or windows later. If you think you may want to enclose your structure in the future, let us know during the design phase so we can make sure your carport is built to support those additions.
