What is a Vertical Roof Carport?

A Vertical roof metal carport employs vertical corrugated steel panels to create a sturdy structure to shelter your vehicles and other belongings. These carports are the most suitable for regions that face strong winds, heavy rainfall, and high snowfall. Carports wider than 30 feet are only available in vertical roofs because of their robust strength.

Along with vertical-oriented paneling, these carports also have hat channels, ridge caps, and cross braces, offering additional strength and support. As their assembly is heavy, these are the most reliable roofing options, meant to withstand all climate conditions.

Their panels run from the ridge to the eave ends, effectively guiding water, snow, and debris to slide off the roof, making them easier to maintain and elongating their lifespan.

As the water slides down the sides instead of front and end, it will keep you dry as you park or take your car out post rains.

What are the Benefits of Choosing Vertical Roof Style Carports?

Optimum shedding: The ridges of a carport with a vertical roof run perpendicular to the ground, which means from a higher roof pitch to lower sides.

Without any barrier stopping them, the gravitational force pulls the weather elements towards the ground. This, as well as their aerodynamic design, reduces the chances of accumulation of water or dust along with moisture entrapment.

Enhanced resilience: Vertical roof carports can efficiently endure adverse weather conditions. The additional supporting components make these structures sturdy enough to withstand wind speeds of up to 180 miles per hour and snow load of up to 80 lbs per square foot.

Moreover, the ridge cap seals gaps, strengthening the structure against leaks and structural damage. In American states that see extreme temperatures, like Florida and Louisiana, these structures can perform extremely well, no matter the pressure.

As steel is dense, inorganic, and non-combustible, these carports are highly resistant to rust, corrosion, and fires.

Easy to maintain: Built with galvanized steel, a metal carport with a vertical roof is less likely to face issues. They do not require regular cleaning and maintenance as there is minimal accumulation of weather elements.

Unlike wooden structures, they do not need routinely re-painting or re-coating. You can dust off the structure and spray water over it once in a while.

Flexible: These are highly flexible structures and are often used for multiple purposes. For instance, many homeowners utilize their vertical roof style metal carports as outdoor party spaces or as gardening shelters.

Blending Capabilities: Due to their versatile nature, these carport structures have high blending capabilities and can seamlessly be attached to existing structures.

Quick installation process: Prefab vertical roof steel carports are constructed off-site and assembled on-site, which translates into a fast-paced installation process.

Highly Reflective: Vertical roofs are installed at an angle, which means sunlight can effectively be reflected by them. This reduces the chances of your vehicles heating up under these carports.

Common Dimensions of Vertical Roof Metal Carport

Essentially, a vertical roof carport is available in a diverse range of dimensions, depending on the number of vehicles you need to house under the structure.

At Carports Advisor, we allow you to easily customize the length, width, and height of your carport as per your requirements. The width of commercial structures can be up to 300 feet, and the height can be up to 80 feet.

A few common carport dimensions are:

Single Car Carport with Vertical Roof

Opt for minimum size to park compact cars and larger options to park larger vehicles easily. These can be attached or detached carport structures.

Width	Length	Leg Height	Total area
10 feet to 18 feet	18 feet to 20 feet	8 feet to 12 feet	180 square feet to 360 square feet

Two Car Vertical Roof Carport

If you wish to invest in a slightly bigger garage to house two vehicles or a single car and bikes, then consider choosing a two-car carport.

Width	Length	Leg Height	Total area
20 feet to 24 feet	22 feet to 30 feet	9 feet to 14 feet	350 square feet to 520 square feet

Triple Wide Vertical Roof Carports

For large families or those using carports for several purposes, it might be ideal to install three-car vertical roof structures. It is ideal to measure your cars to ensure you are making the right decision.

Width	Length	Leg Height	Total area
30 feet to 34 feet	22 feet to 40 feet	9 feet to 14 feet	960 square feet to 1,360 square feet

Oversized Carports with Vertical Roofing

To park 4 or more vehicles under your vertical roof style carport, consider investing in oversized structures.

Width	Length	Leg Height	Total area
40 feet and above	22 feet to 50 feet	9 feet to 16 feet	Over 800 feet

Tailor for You: Upgrade Vertical Roof Carport with Custom Options

A myriad of customizations can be integrated within carport structures with vertical roofs in terms of style, design, appeal, and functionality based on your needs. Carports Advisor allows you to be in complete command of designing your custom metal carports. Whether it is color choices, extensions, or adding accessories, we give you control over every step.

Steel Frame: You can opt for 14-gauge steel frames or sturdier 12-gauge frames, depending on the use, size, and local climate. 14-gauge frames are the standard, but 12-gauge ones are thicker and stronger in nature.

Steel Panel: Similarly, you can opt for standard 29-gauge steel panels or upgrade to robust 26-gauge ones. It is critical to understand how it will affect the strength of your carport in your regional surroundings.

Roof Pitch: If you live in areas prone to high windspeeds, install a vertical roof at a 30° angle to make the structure more stable. Moreover, to ensure that your carport doesn’t suffer any leakages or ice accumulation, choose roof slopes over 4:12. Opting for roof pitch between 4:12 and 6:12 is perfect for letting the elements slide, especially in rainfall and snowfall-prone regions.

Sidewall: For additional protection against sun and rain, you can opt for partial or fully covered side walls beginning at 1 foot. These can be vertical or horizontal corrugated panels.

Gable ends: Similarly, for enhanced protection, you can opt for closed gable ends in the front and back.

Color: Choose from over 15 color options offered by us to ensure that your vertical roof structure meets your aesthetic preferences. You can also opt for colored screws for a better aesthetic appeal.

Gutter: To avoid water pooling around the carport, a fully functional gutter and downspout system can be installed, collecting the water in a deposition tank.

Fans: While these are open structures, for additional comfort, you can also install electric fans to circulate the air under the vertical roof carports.

Insulated roofs: To avoid heat transfer and prevent your vehicles from heating up, you can also insulate the vertical roofs with woven R-17 insulation or double-bubble insulation.

Key Considerations for Installing a Vertical Roof Metal Carport
