Lean-To Carport
Lean-to metal carports are a great way to add storage space when you have limited space to work with. Lean-tos are often attached to another structure like a barn or garage, creating additional exterior covered space. Our lean-to carports are some of our most basic and cost-effective metal buildings. If you choose to attach to an existing building, the lean-to carport can often be made to look like a natural extension of your building. The single slope roof allows rain and snow to slide off to one side very efficiently.
Custom Sizes for Your Lean-To Carport
One of the first things you need to decide when choosing a lean-to metal carport is how you plan to use your carport. You’ll want to consider how much space you’ll need to be able to accommodate your vehicles and anything else you’d like to keep under cover. It’s also wise to allow for some extra space to work with. Lean-to carports are available at Metal Garage Central in any custom size to fit your needs. A 12’-wide carport can generally fit a single car; we can also build carports to house multiple cars. Stand-alone carport length starts standard at 21’, but we can generally extend the length as far out as you need. You should also factor in the height of the vehicles or equipment you want to cover. Carport height starts standard at 6’, and can be extended up to whatever height you require. We can build carports tall enough to house everything from RVs to combine harvesters!
Not sure what size lean-to carport you need? Not a problem! Just give one of our friendly and knowledgeable building specialists a call. We’ll listen to how you want to use your building, then we can make some recommendations as to size dimensions that would best suit your needs.
Design Your Own Lean-To Carport
If you need an open-air roofed structure with open accessibility, we can do that for you at Metal Garage Central. If you’d like to have your lean-to carport enclosed or partially-enclosed for more protection and security, we can do that too! We can also custom-build many varieties of stand-alone lean-to combination buildings to suit your needs. Our lean-to metal carports are incredibly flexible and versatile in their design, and are fully customizable.
Or perhaps you’d like to be able to custom design your lean-to carport yourself. Our building specialists would be glad to help, but if you prefer, you can design your lean-to carport from the comfort of your couch with our online 3D Estimator. The 3D Estimator is accessible from any device (including iPhones and Androids), and gives you the ability to design your building, save your design, share it on social media, and even complete your order online!
Delivery and Installation
Another advantage of choosing a metal lean-to carport is that it’s much easier to install than a traditional stick-build. And if you’re worried about taking on that task yourself, don’t sweat it. Delivery and installation of your metal building are included in standard purchase at Metal Garage Central, and our team of professional installers can usually get most structures up in just one day! The only requirement on your part is to ensure that your site is level before we perform the install; note that we don’t provide any concrete or groundwork.
Advantages of Custom Steel Structures
Steel structures are superior to stick-builds or those made from other materials for reasons beyond the competitive purchase price, too:
Low-Maintenance–
Metal is easier to clean and requires less maintenance than stick-builds or other structures. And since the color is infused into the metal, you don’t have the same peeling or fading paint issues, either.
Durable–
Steel buildings don’t rot like wood and can stand up to constant use and extreme weather, including high winds, heavy rains, accumulating snow, lightning … and even earthquakes! The metal paneling can also be coated with aluminum compounds to help further prevent rusting and prolong the life of the panels.
Pest and Fire Resistant–
Steel isn’t susceptible to termites or other pests, and doesn’t harbor mold or mildew. Steel is also incredibly fire resistant.
Customizable–
The versatility of steel allows for more complex architectural designs and more clear-span interior space. It’s easier to expand metal buildings as your space needs grow, too.
Less Expensive to Insure–
Thanks to superior strength, durability, and fire resistance, your insurance costs may decrease if you choose a steel building over other options. That’s another cost benefit you get by choosing a structure from Metal Garage Central!
