There are many reasons to own a steel carport in almost any part of the country. In Texas Most of them have to do with our often difficult weather. Of course, Texans have the same problems with overstuffed garages as the rest of the country too.
I know you have homeowner insurance, and car insurance that covers weather damage to your car, but what about those massive deductibles you have to pay when mother nature strikes your vehicles and equipment with tree limbs or golf ball size hail?
Deductibles are the insurance companies way of offsetting the expense of insuring you. It may be unfair, but it is a fact of life. It is sad, and, in most cases, avoidable.
Most home owners don't park their cars in their garages. Why? Well, most garages are full of stored items, and, besides, they don’t like going to the trouble of pulling into, and backing out of a garage, and raising and lowering garage doors. Some even feel unsafe having a gasoline or diesel powered combustion engine parked so close to the children s bedrooms.
Homeowners need car protection. Home owners don't like to use attached garages for storing their cars. What's the solution? Steel Carports. Simple steel carports will protect your car from the ravages of nature, and avoid the other problems associated with parking in a garage.
The truth is that a carport can be purchased and assembled by a professional, on your property for about the cost of your insurance deductible. That makes a carport a great investment!
Carports are structures designed to protect your car from the elements of nature, elements which could damage your vehicle or make it difficult or uncomfortable to use.
They are normally not fully enclosed, but consist instead, of a frame structure, and a roof. The lack of siding may be seen as a problem, but it is really a solution for at least two reasons:
It allows for cooling airflow in the summer, when being inside a fully enclosed metal building in the Texas heat can be a less than pleasant experience. It is less costly than a full scale enclosure.

Boats need protection just like cars. Carports for boats can keep your boat protected.
Most Texas boaters don’t store their boats at a covered marina, they pull them home after each outing. Boats are made to operate in the great outdoors, but even the toughest boat will last and look better for a longer period of time with a little boat protection.
Like automobiles, boats suffer from the effects of uv rays, even if they have uv protective coatings, they also suffer from tree sap, bird droppings, falling limbs, and hail. Cars and boats can be protected by putting them in the garage, but there is a good chance that yours is full, either with your car, or stored home materials, so, where do you put your boat?
There is a very good, very inexpensive way to keep your boat covered, and it is the same one that thousands have chosen for their cars and trucks for many years: The simple carport. Carports are not just for cars anymore! Carports make great boat covers to protect them from natures bad behavior. For about the price of the average insurance deductible, you can have a simple carport, or boat port installed to protect your investment in your fishing future.
If you need a carport, and a utility building or storage shed, there is a common product that can help you to meet both needs. Most Texas carport dealers have a product which is commonly known to them as a carport combo.
Carport Combo's are basic carport structures with one end enclosed. The end wall is added and another wall constructed parallel to the end and several feet away. To this is added a door, most often a roll up garage type door. This combination is very effective for both car protection, and storage or shop use.
The addition of the utility structure will raise the cost, but the price will normally still come in lower than purchasing the two separately. The carport may need to be taller than the base model to accommodate the addition of a garage door, but the extra leg length will not be too expensive. The construction of the end walls will probably be the most expensive part of the addition.
