Keep in mind shipping costs that can amount to $500 or more. If the seller provides \u201cfree shipping,\u201d you can bet the cost of shipping is simply hidden in the higher cost of the unit.<\/p>\n Your area probably has carport dealers that will transport fully assembled single-wide units to your property. Cost is higher for assembled carports.\u00a0The many cost factors that determine price are detailed below.<\/p>\n Metal Carport Price Factors<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n With options from small and basic to large and full-featured, the potential cost range is broad.<\/p>\n These factors will allow you to narrow your cost estimate for the structure you have in mind.<\/p>\n Retail Cost Range<\/span> (Kit Only)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Let\u2019s break down the cost of metal carport kits from basic\/fully open to fully enclosed. Installation supplies, foundation cost and labor cost if you hire an assembler are covered below.<\/p>\n Cost of Installation Supplies and Extras<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Basic kits contain everything needed including anchors. If you\u2019re putting the carport onto a dirt or gravel driveway, you may want to install a series of concrete blocks as a foundation.<\/p>\n Extras:<\/strong><\/p>\n Pad Options:<\/strong><\/p>\n Pads are an extra expense not included in the prices listed above.<\/p>\n Permit requirements vary quite a bit. In many cities and counties, structures under a certain size don\u2019t require a permit. A common limit is 160 square feet.<\/p>\n In other places, a permit is required for any structure. The permit cost is based on the size and value of the structure.<\/p>\n Installation Labor Cost<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Some sellers include installation labor in their costs.\u00a0If not, hiring a handyman service for the work is common.<\/p>\n Many carports are DIY installed. It requires an ability to use hand tools and to carefully follow printed instructions.<\/p>\n We recommend a crew of two or three for the project because parts such as roof panels are large and can be difficult to get into position.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" $2,300 \u2013 $3,450, Installed The average cost of a 20\u2032 X 20\u2032 metal carport is $1,340 if you handle the pickup, assembly and installation yourself.
