Woodworking questions, answered by experts

While fabric and temporary carports last for just a few years, depending on the weather they must endure, well-maintained metal and wood carports can last between 10 and 30 years. In some cases, well-cared-for carports made of high-quality materials can last a lifetime. How long your carport will last depends mostly on its construction, materials, and maintenance.

Yes, in all cases, it should be more affordable to build your own carport than it would be to hire a professional to do the work. The material costs can sometimes cost a little more through a professional because they can mark it up for delivery and procurement costs. You’ll also save hundreds or thousands on labor fees if you install your carport yourself.

Buying a pre-made carport is cheaper than building one from scratch. Pre-made carports, especially kits, often include materials and sometimes installation, with prices starting as low as $300 for basic single-vehicle models. Building a custom carport requires purchasing individual materials, ranging from $12 to $40 per square foot, depending on the type, plus labor costs if you hire a pro. Pre-made options are often more cost-effective and hassle-free for most homeowners.

Metal carports are commonly made from steel or aluminum, offering durability and low maintenance.

In many cases, yes, you’ll need building permits for a carport. The exact laws and regulations depend on where you live, but generally speaking, you’ll need a building permit for any carport that will be permanently affixed to the ground. Premade carports sometimes don’t require planning permission or permits, but standalone and attached carports usually do. We recommend you contact your local building department to find out before beginning any carport project.
