Building a carport for your car is not a luxurious choice. It is a must-have if you want your car or vehicle to be protected from the sun and the weather. This simple structure can protect your car from harsh elements.

Metal roofs for carports are the preferred type of roofing nowadays. They are lightweight, durable, environmental friendly, and require minimal maintenance.

Metal roofs are strong, long-lasting, and durable. They have rust-proof coatings that prevent corrosion especially when water (from rain, hail) comes in touch with it. They can also withstand wind gusts of up to 140 miles per hour. Metals are also resistant to fire due to their non-combustible property. Aside from fire, metal is resistant to mold, mildew, and insects. Because of these features, metal roofs can last for up to 40 to 70 years. And because of its durability, it won’t be requiring a lot of maintenance.

Metal roofs are light. Their weight is around 1.4 pounds per square foot. A bonus of this lightweight is that many types of metal roofs can be installed over existing roof materials (like asphalt and wood shingles, for example) without compromising the roof structure.

Carports and other stuctures are less expensive with metal roofs than wood roofs. Metal roofs can be easily installed and will not cost a lot for building materials.

Metals are 100% recyclable. So if your metal roof is nearing the end of its life, you can bring it to the recycling center to be converted into a reusable material.
