Description

A 20 ft by 20 ft steel carport, $2,000. Hot-dip galvanized single-trussed frame in 53×73×2.0 mm tube, with a 10 ft ridge and a 7 ft eave — enough for two vehicles side by side.

Twenty by twenty is the two-car size, and the 7 ft eave height is the number that decides whether a pickup or a van fits under the edge rather than only under the ridge. Cover is 0.017 in colour steel tile sheet on a hot-dip galvanized square tube frame.

Wind load is rated 55–63 mph and snow load 8.4 lb/ft² — check both against your local requirements, because 8.4 lb/ft² is modest for anywhere that gets real snow. The frame is fade-resistant and needs no maintenance; the manufacturer quotes a service life up to fifteen years. It ships as a single 99 by 44 by 18 in package at 1,235 lb, and a forklift or equivalent is required to unload.
