For strength from a small shelter, choose one of our 12-foot wide metal carports. Large enough to protect a single car, boat, RV, or equipment, a 12-foot wide metal carport is one of the strongest shelters available. With a valance style, each 12-foot wide metal carport is built out of triple-layer galvanized steel tubing and a roof of 29-gauge steel. When it comes to protection, each small metal carport is naturally resistant to fire, rust, termites, rot, and UV rays. As your vehicle stays under this strong carport for a prolonged period of time, the shelter holds up to nearly all weather conditions and prevents water buildup and UV exposure.
