A-Frame Style Carports
A-frame roofs are an extremely popular choice for carports. The main reasons for this are their ability to resist all types of weather, their adaptability, and their aesthetic value and ability to match the look of your home or business.
If you’re considering building a new carport and are thinking of going with an a-frame, this guide is for you.
A-Frame Roof Carports
Why Choose an A-Frame Carport?
The most common reasons to choose an a-frame are to match the aesthetic of your home or main building and to resist heavy weather. In particular, the sloped edges of the a-frame roof mean snow, rain, and other debris will often slide right off.
A-frames are also some of the easiest types of buildings to construct, which can save you time and money. Their ease of construction and wide use also means we can modify your a-frame carport to match any aesthetic or design specification you have.
Boxed Eve or Vertical Roof
We can construct your a-frame carport to any specifications you require. Perhaps the most important decision you’ll need to make is what kind of roof to go with.
This decision will depend primarily on how much you plan to spend on the unit, but also on the weather in your area as well as what you’ll be storing in the unit.
- Boxed-eave-style roofs have horizontal panels than run from the front to the back of the carport. These panels are less expensive to craft and install but will be worse at resisting weather.
- Vertical-style roofs have panels thatrun vertically, from left to right as you face the carport. These panels require more intricate construction and installation but will easily repel the weather. The channels in the vertical panels make it easy for snow, rain, and other debris to slide off the roof.
If you’re looking for the most stable and longest-lasting structure possible, a vertical roof will provide the stability necessary for long-term reliability. However, the lesser cost of the boxed eave roof will make it the better choice for some who aren’t looking to spend too much money on the structure.

Enclosed or Open Carport
Much like with the roof, your choice of whether to add side panels and complete your garage or stick with the simpler carport design should depend on finances and weather.
An open carport is simple to construct which makes it less expensive. This could be more pragmatic if you are not storing anything particularly valuable or vulnerable. An open carport is essentially the frame of a garage supporting your chosen roof.
Naturally, the additional panels and labor required to complete a garage will cost more in the short term. However, a fully enclosed garage is the only choice for complete weather protection as well as safety from theft or prying eyes.
We can turn an open carport into a closed garage with just the addition of a few panels. Be sure to check out our barn builder tool so you can create the best design for your needs.
