Our RV carports are built with heavy-duty steel frames and panels, available in Galvalume or painted steel finishes. These materials ensure greater strength and longevity with minimal maintenance—ideal for even for the harshest environments.

RVs are grouped into four main classes: A, B, C, and towables — each with its own size range. To determine your RV Class and fit, measure your RV’s width, length, and height, then compare it to our RV class sizing chart or use our 3D builder to match your vehicle.

Measure the width, length, and height of your RV—including any slide-outs. A 12-foot-wide carport suits units without slide-outs, while 18-foot width accommodates slide-out models. Length and height should exceed your RV’s dimensions to guarantee clearance.

The ideal height for your RV carport depends on the type of RV you own.

• Travel Trailers and Class C RVs: Most customers select a 10’–11’ leg height, which provides sufficient clearance for these RV types.
• Class A Motorhomes and Fifth Wheels: These larger RVs typically require a 12’–13’ leg height. 
• Fully Enclosed RV Carports: If you plan to fully enclose your RV cover with a roll-up door: Choose a 14’ leg height for a 12’ tall roll-up door Choose a 16’ leg height for a 14’ tall roll-up door This allows for proper clearance and smooth entry.

Width affects both comfort and usability.

• 12’ Wide (Minimum): Suitable for storage-only purposes. Since most RVs are approximately 8’6” wide, this option offers limited side clearance.
• 15’–18’ Wide (Recommended): Ideal if you want space for slide-outs, walking room, and easier maneuvering.
• Interior Width Note: All carport widths are measured outside-to-outside. A 12’ wide carport provides approximately 11’7” of usable interior space after framing.

Lightweight kits may use metal base plates anchored to concrete footings—often without requiring permits. For permanent structures, setting posts directly in concrete is common. Pro Metal Buildings can advise you based on your site.

Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction, and the customer is responsible for contacting their planning department to determine if one will be necessary for the building they are purchasing and for the installation location. If your structure is permanent and set on concrete, a permit and engineered plans are often required. We can supply the Engineered Drawings and Calculation Drawings for an additional cost.  

Contact us to request engineering and calculation drawings.

Typically, kits ship within 2–4 weeks after ordering. Standard kits include pre-cut steel framing and panels, plus easy-to-follow instructions for assembly.

Most installations require basic tools: power drill (or tek gun), rivet gun, saw/snips, tape measure, level, shovel, ladder, silicone gun, and safety gear. Our pre-cut components make the process simple and streamlined.

Absolutely. Through our 3D Builder, you can choose your structure’s dimensions, roof style, framing thickness, panel colors, trims, optional side or end walls, and more. 

All Pro Metal Buildings structures can be customized with additional height or roof clearance to accommodate solar panels, rooftop air conditioning units, and other accessories.
