Roof Styles

Standard or Classic Roof Style

Standard carport roofs, often referred to as “regular” roofs, feature rounded corners and are a popular, cost-effective option. These roofs lack a ridge cap, trim, and purlins, making them one of the most affordable choices available. They are well-suited for areas with mild weather, but they may not hold up as well in extreme climates. With appropriate upgrades, these roofs can be durable for many years. If you're looking to save on your carport and don’t need extensive protection for your vehicles, this is likely a great choice for you.

 

A-Frame Horizontal Carport Roof Style

The A-frame horizontal roof, commonly known as the “boxed eave” roof, provides a more residential look for your carport. It features sheet panels that extend across the roof without a ridge cap or purlins. The higher cost of this option comes from the additional box eave trim on the sides and the extra welding required on the trusses. This roof style is ideal if you're looking to upgrade from a standard roof and need a stylish solution for storing vehicles in a residential area with moderate weather.


 

A-Frame Vertical Roof Style

The A-frame vertical roof is widely considered the best option for any carport due to its superior durability and ability to handle extreme weather conditions, unlike the other roof styles. With panels running vertically between the pitch and eaves, this design ensures that rain, snow, and other debris slide off effortlessly. Additionally, you can further strengthen it with extra braces, bows, and anchors, making it exceptionally resilient. The A-frame vertical roof’s durability and longevity make it the top choice for carport installations, providing unparalleled protection and performance.
