18×20 Carport
An 18×20 metal carport from General Steel provides the space and versatility you need to shelter multiple cars or a combination of other valuables. With the help of our experienced professionals, you can design and construct a carport that fits your specific needs and location. If you live in a region with inclement weather, we recommend an I-beam structure constructed with the highest quality of steel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our I-beam buildings and carports can are typically delivered within 6-8 weeks assuming you release the structure for fabrication in a timely manner. Please check with your representative at General Steel for current timelines.
Our carports can be bolted into any concrete or asphalt surface. Therefore, you can either pour a slab or in the event that you already own a hard parking surface, you can bolt and erect the carport over an existing concrete or asphalt parking lot.
