If you could discuss the pros/cons of the type you have, it would be greatly appreciated and helpful. Price is also an object obviously, but if you wish not to divulge your cost....I can always find it myself when contacting each company with my particular measurements, etc. Thanks so much in advance for any help, Enjoy the journey......

I have a quote from carports.com for a 14'W x 28'L x 12' H for around $1,850.00. Still not ready but gettting closer.

Where I live in MD we got an unusual amount of snow this year and many car ports and covered boat slips collapsed. Don't always go for the cheapest.

I talked to carports and they told me that it would be no problem with the large amount of snow we had this year. That is why I am leaning toward their construction. They are bound by law to meet certain specifications with their product. samsontdog • View posts Oregon, Wash Coast summer, Yuma Az winter Senior Member Joined: 08/06/2002 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 03/10/10 06:22pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I had a Company named COVER ALL in Northern Cal deliver the metal carport etc and my Sons helped me put it up. 40 ft long, 12 ft wide. Should have gone 14 ft wide. About $1,000 for the parts. This was about 18 years ago. Later I had the same Company put up a 30 ft by 12 ft for a smaller RV for about $1,400 Really happy with both samsontdog Delaine and Lindy • View posts Linden Tn.

I think the cost was $3,600 at the time 2006. We then sold the house and the Carport and moved. I now have a 40' x 50' x 16' cover we call them pole barns here. I wish I would have inclosed the covered building and made it 60' long with two 24' roll up doors. The cost for the 40'x60'x16' pole barn was $9,500. Take your time and check and double check everything and make sure you go big.

It's served us well and just this past year, we moved it onto another concrete slab and had them come back out and add a 12' X 41' wing onto it with a roll up door for boat storage, utility trailer storage and other stuff. Now one side goes all the way to the ground and it's open on one side and the rear. It's rated for the hurricane force winds, Katrina & Gustav plus one twister that did other damage around our home and it's held up really well. It was priced in our range and affordable IMO.
