Nobody looks forward to scraping ice off their windshield at 6:00 in the morning before work, especially when there’s another few inches of snow in the forecast. But if your garage is already full, there’s not much choice but to leave the car outside. The same goes for boats, trailers, lawn equipment, and anything else that won’t fit indoors. With winter getting closer and some bad weather on the horizon, adding some covered parking might be worth considering. A metal carport won’t keep everything as protected as a garage, but it’ll at least put a roof between your vehicles and whatever’s falling from the sky.
Right now as a clearance item at Walmart, the Pabimia 20-Foot by 20-Foot Heavy-Duty Metal Carport is on sale for $800, down from its regular $1,620 price. That’s $820 in savings for a structure offering 400 square feet of covered space. Depending on the size of your vehicles and the clearance between the support posts, you could potentially park two cars underneath it. Or you could dedicate the entire space to a truck, boat, trailer, or a combination of smaller equipment.
Selling FastOne thing worth paying attention to is the roof. This isn’t one of those temporary carports with a fabric canopy that needs to be taken down when the weather gets rough. Instead, you’re getting steel roof panels supported by a galvanized frame, with additional bracing and an angled roof design. That should make it a more durable option for year-round use.
The kit includes assembly hardware, but you’ll still need to figure out the foundation, anchoring, and any local permit requirements. For someone tired of leaving their vehicles completely exposed, $800 could be a worthwhile investment before winter arrives.
One buyer raved, “I absolutely love this and it was easy to put together.”
“Good instructions for setting up and will work great for our needs,” commented a second happy shopper.
