Best Carport For Boats

By the end of summer, it becomes crucial to store your boat, jet skis, and other recreational vehicles safely during off-seasons. If you are looking for an affordable solution to dock your boat under a shelter & protect it from weather, we have a wide range of metal boat covers you can choose from. These metal structures are designed to secure your boat from harsh sun, rain, and snowfall and keep it in pristine condition.

We provide carport for boat that not only protects your Sea Ray or Bayliner but also matches with the aesthetics of your property. Our carports are made using high-quality steel that is resistant to rust, pests, rot, & decay, with minimal care.

Steel Boat Carports Dimensions

To know what size metal boat carport will fit, measure the boat size as follows:

LOA : the length of the entire boat [include extensions like bow pulpit, swim platform, etc.]
Beam : usually the widest part of the boat
Height : the highest point of the boat [windshield/ railings] to the lowest point [hull]
Stand Size : Trailer, Boat Stands, or Cradles on which the boat is kept

The minimum size of your boat will be:

  • Boat’s Length + 1 ft.
  • Boat’s Width + 3 ft. [for open sides carport]
  • Boat’s Height + 2 ft.
  • [don’t forget to include the height of the trailer on which the boat will sit]

A pontoon boat size is generally 8 to 12 feet wide, 16 to 30 feet long, and 8 to 20 feet tall, depending on your boat's model. So, you can choose a carport that is 5 to 6 feet larger than the boat’s size for easy maneuvering & some storage space.

Why Use Metal Boat Carports?

Keeping your boat under a carport is a fantastic way to secure your watercraft and comes with many benefits. Here are the top 5 reasons why you should choose a metal carport for boat storage.

1. Protection From Nature: Our boat carport secures your vessel from sun, rain, snow, hail, wind, debris, and theft. You can choose any size & style based on your needs.

2. Low Maintenance: Boat steel carports are one of the low upkeep buildings. You don’t need to spend on monthly termite checks or re-painting/ re-coating the entire structure annually. Once installed correctly, they can last for decades with little care.

3. Cost-Effective: Investing in prefab boat carports is much more affordable compared to fully enclosed garages that will sit on your property. Carports are open, roof-only buildings, so they won’t obstruct the entire view.

4. Easy Installation: A prefabricated boat carport is designed, cut & drilled in the factory. So they are easy & quick to assemble on-site. It creates less raw material wastage & takes less time & labor.

5. Longevity & Versatile Design: A steel carport helps retain your boat's shine and prolong its lifespan. The metal structure itself will also last long, which you can repurpose for other uses. Choose custom boat carports that can be used for parking boats off-season and as a covered patio space or deck in summer while your boat is in water.

Have a look at some common metal carport sizes and prices below.

Factors Affecting The Price Of Metal Boat Carport

The exact price of your modern boat carport will depend on the following factors:

Size & Design Of Carport: The minimum size of the carport depends on the model of the boat you own. Any additional custom features will add to the total cost.

Steel Market Price: Steel is a global commodity, and its price may fluctuate depending on supply and demand. This will affect the total cost.

Roof Style & Pitch: You can choose between regular [good], horizontal [better], & vertical [best] roof type and pitch between 3:12 and 6:12 for your boat carport. The higher the roof’s pitch, the more material will be needed, increasing the cost.

Note: A regular roof carport is the most economical carport style but is not suitable for harsh weather or large metal structures. In contrast, the vertical roof carport is suitable for all-weather conditions and recommended for larger metal buildings. For moderate weather and medium-sized buildings, you can choose a boxed eave carport, sometimes called horizontal or A-frame.

Material Gauge: Usually, residential metal carports come with a 14-gauge steel frame, which is industry-standard, but for harsh weather conditions or large metal structures, you can choose 12-gauge, which costs more but offers high durability and load-bearing ability.

Your Location: The price of a metal carport for boat also depends on the location of installation [farther the location, more the shipping cost], and local labor rates.

Foundation Types: The type of base you want to install a boat carport will also add to the final cost. Some common bases for metal structures are leveled ground, gravel, asphalt, and concrete slabs.
