WIDE SPAN METAL CARPORTS FOR SALE IN ARIZONA

Regular Style Wide Span Structure (Horizontal Roof)

The Regular Style wide span structure is our most affordable option in Arizona and the design most people picture when they think of a metal wide span structure. The roof is built on bent bows with rounded, rolled corners where the roof meets the legs, and the roof panels run horizontally, parallel to the sides, so rain drains off the front and back of the structure. Trusses tie the bows together for strength, and the whole frame is galvanized steel.

In Arizona the Regular Style is popular across the low desert, around Phoenix, Mesa, Tucson, Yuma, Lake Havasu City, and Casa Grande, and anywhere the budget matters more than looks. It is a good fit for tractors, hay equipment, fleets, and commercial storage and for lots where a wide span structure is tucked behind the house or barn rather than out front.

Boxed Eave Style Wide Span Structure (A-Frame, Horizontal Roof)

The Boxed Eave wide span structure has the A-frame roofline that matches most Arizona homes and shops, with a squared, boxed corner where the roof meets the legs instead of a rounded one. Like the Regular Style, its roof panels run horizontally, parallel to the sides, so rain drains off the front and back, and it is built on the same galvanized steel frame. The difference is almost entirely in appearance, which is why it is the most common choice when the wide span structure will sit next to the house.

Around Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, Prescott, Flagstaff, and Yuma, the Boxed Eave is the middle option: a traditional look for a little more than the Regular Style, without the full upgrade to a vertical roof. It matches the rooflines of most Arizona homes and shops and is a good choice for a wide span structure that sits beside the house.

Vertical Roof Wide Span Structure (A-Frame, Vertical Roof)

The Vertical Roof wide span structure is our top-of-the-line style and the one we recommend for Flagstaff, the Mogollon Rim, and the White Mountains, and anywhere a structure sits under trees. It uses the same A-frame, boxed-eave shape, but the roof panels run vertically, from the ridge down to the eaves, so water, leaves, and snow run straight off instead of sitting on the roof. Extra purlins run lengthwise under the panels, which gives the roof more framing to attach to and makes the whole wide span structure noticeably stiffer in high wind.

In the high country around Flagstaff, Williams, Payson, Heber, Show Low, Pinetop-Lakeside, and the White Mountains, the Vertical Roof is the style we recommend. Snow and ice slide off instead of piling up, rain drains to the eaves, and the extra purlins stiffen the roof for the heaviest Arizona snow loads. It is also the style we recommend for longer wide span structures anywhere in the state.

Single Slope Wide Span Structure

The Single Slope wide span structure uses the vertical roof panels and purlins of our top style, but the roof pitches one direction instead of peaking in the middle. A 2/12 pitch is the most common, and several other pitches are available to match an existing roofline or add clearance. That lets it sit flush against a property line, a fence, a camp, or an existing garage or barn, and drain all of its water to one side, away from whatever it is attached to. It can stand on its own or be built as an attached lean-to.

A Single Slope wide span structure fits well against an existing garage, barn, or shop wall, and in Arizona it is a practical choice where you want snow and rain to shed away from a walkway, driveway, or the side of the house. Pitches vary by size, so tell us where the water and snow should go and we will set the slope to match.
