Rent or Own with RV Carports?

Why should you have to pay a lot of rent to store your travel trailer or RV out in the open weather when you can have your own secure storage right where storage is convenient for you?

Paying a monthly fee to store your items just puts money in someone else's pockets, and takes the money away from you. Why not use your money toward investment in carports, garages, or buildings that you own instead of rent?

Another reason that owning your own storage cover or building is that you can keep watch over your precious valuables from the safety of your home or business location.

You may not want to pay a storage facility to rent a space to park metal RV carports without proper coverage. Right now is the time to stop paying other people crazy money to store your stuff!

Rent to Own and Finance

What if you want to pay as you go to buy metal RV carports? You can do what's called Rent-to-Own or finance metal buildings. You may already have a bank that you have an established relationship with, or a credit card company whose rates you are very happy with. If this is the case, then financing will be made easier for you. If not, our company does offer financing to make more payment options available.

Rent-to-own is another payment option for metal buildings if you would like that choice. If you want to go with this selection, be sure and ask about the 90-day "same as cash" payoff opportunity with no penalty. You may be able to pay off your investment without all of the fees or high-interest rates and long, lengthy payment plans. With rent-to-own payoff, you aren't locked into a long contract with hidden fees.

Feel free to call our metal building hotline to speak with us in person and we can help you with any questions you may have about financing or rent-to-own options. Steel prices have gone up but that doesn't have to mean more money out of your pocket! Owning a solid metal RV carport is a real possibility for you.

    • High wind

Advanced Protection from Damage

The RV or camper you own can sustain damage to the roof and exterior if it is parked out in the open. If you have researched replacing the roof on a camper or travel trailer, you will find that it costs several thousand dollars. As you likely have noticed, campers and travel trailers are not designed for prolonged outdoor exposure without some sort of weather protection.

Most people just assume they have to have the roof on their camper repaired frequently or, at the very least, have the seals repaired or replaced. If you could prevent this and extend the life of your motorhome, camper or RV, would you?

Tarps and canvas are much less expensive but do not last long and quickly become tattered and torn.

Essentially for you, these temporary cloth covers are a waste of money on a temporary fix.

Sturdy steel RV carports save you lots of money and trouble in the long run, are permanent and safe, and add value to your property.

Rain and sun both can ruin your lovely RV or camper and can cause irreparable damage if let go. Some people buy cheap, material RV covers in an attempt to protect their motor home for a quick fix.

In some areas, people buy inexpensive covers that can easily blow away in a strong wind. Cheap cloth, plastic, or canvas covers can also get worn down from the hot sun and strong weather, and also prove incapable of supporting heavy loads of snow and ice.


One solid metal RV carport is better than replacing a cloth or plastic RV cover over and over!

Dry rot from the hot sun can cause damage to tires, seals, and rubber parts of an RV. If it is parked under and covered properly with a carport, this damage can be avoided.

Water damage, mold, mildew, and leaks can be prevented with the proper installation of a metal building. The structure needs to be the right size, not too big or too small of course, and your camper will be protected all year.

Keep the tires, the seals, the glass, the roof, the sides, paint, stickers, everything on your recreational vehicle in top condition with proper coverage on top, down the sides, and on the ends.

One essential component to a lasting camper is proper coverage or a good solid RV carport to protect your investment.

We understand that weather can cause damage, breakdown, and destruction to your RV. What can be done so that you don't have to sink money into repairing your motorhome or camper? The sooner you cover your recreational vehicle, the less money has to be spent on costly repairs or unnecessary weather-related maintenance.

Some things, like winterizing in certain areas of the USA have to be done. However, many expensive damages can be prevented by investing in permanent carports or buildings as covers for your valuable things and acquiring advanced protection from damage.

Metal RV carports are:

  • Sturdy and safe
  • Resistant to debris build-up and all types of weather conditions
  • Installed professionally
  • Covered under rust through warranty
  • Valuable to you now and in the future
  • Build on your level ground, at your location

What About DIY or Do It Yourself RV Carports?

If you have the skills to install these metal buildings, with their leg height, length, and roof structure; be it an A frame roof (boxed eave) or regular roof, you can choose the style of your shelter and install it with your own customization options.

Many customers are happy to consider a self-install or DIY option and then are satisfied with this choice. The metal RV cover still protects from the elements and can allow for the parking of multiple vehicles, if necessary. The goal for you as the customer is to get the best sale prices on the metal that you can find, especially nowadays. If you want to park your motor home and your truck in the same building, you can, which makes these metal structures more appealing.

The RV Carport Conversion Idea

Consider building a steel RV carport but entertaining the idea of enclosing it in the future. By getting a motorhome cover or shelter now, you can always keep the solid roof but build on the coverage you have in the future. This idea gives you the roof only cover at first, or even the roof and a side panel or two. Then later, if you decide you want to add side panels, a fully enclosed garage, building, or shelter, then you can have it enclosed and other structures become a possibility. You can have walls added with garage doors, windows, j-trim, and other customization options to make the metal RV garage your own.

A metal RV carport or steel RV cover provides decades of solid, worry-free protection

The steel carport is the bones of the structure and you choose what to add, if you want, to make the metal carport more reinforced. You can start out with a simple RV carport and add side panels for more sun and wind protection. You can add gable ends for a distinct design. Later, if you like the idea of fully enclosed metal carports, you can look at garages and see how RV covers become buildings. The cost of steel or metal prices for these buildings may make it worthwhile for you to go ahead with a garage at this time, in other words, a fully enclosed building to begin with. Some customers choose RV covers and don't go with optional conversion to a metal garage; it's all up to you.

Shopping for RV Covers Online

More people are looking to the Internet to find sale items and good prices for brands they trust. What if you have never shopped online for metal RV covers and you don't know what to look for? Where should you start your search if it feels like everyone wants to sell you their product?

The best place to start is to get educated on metal RV carports first. When you bought your RV, 5th wheel, or camper, you probably learned about how to care for it all during the different seasons of the year, how to maintain the exterior, the interior, and more. The same is true for RV carport covers and what goes into them. You want to understand the important facets and options of a good, solid metal RV carport so let's consider a few.

Size

You want to know the size you will need to properly cover your recreational vehicle. This size includes leg height or the wall height of the metal RV carport. You don't want this height to be too short so that your RV doesn't fit properly, but you also don't want it to be too tall so that you overpay for the height you simply do not need. You might be surprised how well you can fit your travel trailer into an RV carport and still have enough room to move around the vehicle. You don't want to be restricted and you want to allow room for pop-outs, slide-outs, and the ac unit on top, of course.

Style

Other than size, you will also want to consider the roof style of any metal RV covers you are considering.

There are 3 basic RV carport roof choices:

  • Regular or rounded style roof
  • A frame roof or boxed eave
  • Vertical style roof (roof panels run vertically instead of horizontally)

Regular Rounded Style:

Roof style is something to consider because of how much debris collects over time on a metal RV carport.

The regular or rounded style roof is, as it is called, rounded on the four corners of the RV cover. This allows water to drain off of the roof.

The roof panels are installed horizontally, not vertically, which does not provide as much clearance of debris as a vertical-style roof does.

A Frame Boxed Eave Style:

The boxed eave style is squared or boxed on the four corners of the RV cover. It resembles a house, the way there is an eave with fascia and soffit.

Vertical Roof Style:

The vertical roof is describing how the metal panels lay vertically (up and down) as opposed to horizontally (front to back) on the other two roof styles. A vertical roof is superior for a few reasons, one of them being that because it allows all debris, snow, rain, and accumulation to wash off the roof of metal RV covers without maintenance on your part. The vertical roof holds up well with all types of weather and it is best if RV carports are going to be built where anything whatsoever might accumulate on the roof.

Metal Gauge

You can choose what gauge you want the RV cover to be built with. 14 gauge is standard and 12-gauge is used with thicker steel RV covers. This thicker gauge would be used in high wind or heavy snow load areas. The roof gauge on both RV covers is 29-gauge steel. To better understand and see a chart on steel gauges visit U.S. code standard for steel gauge.

Colors

Metal RV carports come in a wide variety of colors to suit your custom choices. You can choose what roof color, trim color, and side panel(s) color - if any - you would like on your cover. These metal RV covers look impressive in any setting but they look especially charming when the colors match up neatly with your home or business location.

Many choices go into the style of metal RV carports that customers can choose from and not all are just aesthetics or for looks. When shopping for a steel RV cover, you want to know all of the options available to you, so there are more things to be aware of.

It's important to know what all of your steel RV cover options are

Anchoring

Here is an example of the helix anchors used to solidly secure the RV carports in place.

J-Trim

J-Trim is an optional feature, used as a decorative edge trim underneath metal RV carport paneling to add a finishing touch. It can also be used around doors and windows on steel structures if you choose to have these. It is not a requirement but adds to the overall looks of the carport. If J-Trim is in place, the aesthetics, or looks of RV covers improve, as well as when walking and passing through, any metal edges will be neatly and safely covered.

Hat Channel

Hat channels (or hat purlin) are light gauge steel framing segments used for roof and wall support, as well as retrofit installation over existing metal buildings or metal roofs. These are available in galvanized steel and vertical roof RV covers use hat channels in the roof building design.

Back to Basics

What is the most popular metal RV carport out there? Probably the carport that is priced right for the most customers and that provides the best coverage. One very popular style is the regular roof or rounded style carport. It starts at the simple price point, provides necessary coverage while still allowing rain to roll off of the sides and not on the items inside or the coverage area. A or 20 year rust through warranty is a great basic thing to look for when shopping for metal carports and metal RV covers.

Basic details you want to look for include:

  • The best metal prices you can find
  • Warranty coverage
  • Professional installation crews
  • Knowledgeable staff that can help you find the right carport for you
  • How to protect RVs in any weather with metal RV covers
  • How you can get the most out of your steel building
