Get to Know Different Types of Single Metal Carports

Probably, you have heard much about the metal carport and we suppose you will be cleared about the key benefits of using these carports. But do you know how many types of carports are available in the market that you can choose. All carports have their own specifications and reasons to choose. In this blog, we will aware of this particular point. Here, get to know different types of single carports:

A-Frame Metal Carport:

So, the very first type of carport you can find in the market and quite popular too is A-frame metal carports. These carports are also recognized as boxed eave carports. These carports have the feature of a boxed eave style carport roof design with protruding eaves on either side of the roof. The center gable operates down the length of the structure, but it’s still covered with a single panel rather than trim pieces needed in other roof styles. 

The key points that make these carports different from others:

• Paneling Options. A-frame metal carports can be designed with horizontal panels, vertical roof panels, and side panels. This makes them customized as you can build as per your particular requirements. Additionally, simple and easy to use.
• A-frame carports work with gables quickly, adding extra structural aid as well as beautiful appearance for residential and commercial applications.
• Leak Prevention. A-frame metal carport roofs do not have closures and the vertical style leads to natural run-off of water and snow.
   

The most popular benefits of A-frame single-car carport:

• Extra internal bracketing and aids to strengthen the roof and prevent both collapses and lifting from high winds
• The horizontal paneling style practiced for regular roofing is still used for A-frame metal carports, saving money by making the most effective use of roofing materials
• Maintenance requirements are very less
• 6 inches or more of eave overhang direct water away from your carport and blocks drainage and flooding problems
   

Vertical Single metal carport:

Next, a popular type of carport is vertical single metal carports. These carports are designed in an a-frame roof and are directed for the snow to slide off the roof as the roof sheeting is vertical up and down saving you time from having to shovel snow off of the roof. Along with this, the rain will just slide off of the side rather than the front and back ends keeping you dryer on those rainy days as you enter or exit your car. 
 

Now, comes to the remarkable benefits of vertical carports:
 

• Vertical carport fully enclosed and can easily be turned into a 2 car garage with garage doors on the side.
• These carports are very easy to build and maintain. 
• These are available at most affordable prices.
• Vertical roofs can design within a short period.
