What's Included Standard In Rhode Island

• Heavy-duty 12-gauge galvanized steel framing standard — the frame other regions sell as an upgrade is the baseline here, backed by a 20-year limited frame warranty.

• U-channel braces standard on 12' to 18' wide units.
• Welded steel truss standard on 19' to 30' wide units.
• 29-gauge steel panels on the roof and walls.
• All anchors included with every installation.

Options & Upgrades Available In Rhode Island

• 26-gauge sheet metal upgrade from the standard 29-gauge panels.
• Units up to 60' wide for commercial and agricultural jobs.

• Color screws to match your panel colors.

Available options vary by structure type — the 3D Design Center above will show what's available for the structure you're designing.

Hundreds Of Ways To Build Yours

Here's the fun part: with 10 standard widths (12' to 30' in 2' steps), 3 roof styles (Regular, Boxed Eave, and Vertical Roof), and wide-span units running all the way to 60' wide, you're looking at hundreds of real configurations across our four core product lines — carports, fully enclosed buildings, combo units, and RV covers — each one buildable and priceable in the 3D Design Center above. However you want to cover, park, or store it, there's a real combination built exactly for that — not a one-size-fits-all box.

Metal Carports & Buildings Built For Rhode Island Weather

Rhode Island winters come in off the water. A nor'easter spinning up the coast doesn't drop the light, dry powder the ski states get — it stacks wet, heavy snow that loads a roof like poured concrete, then follows it with a gale off Narragansett Bay. Hurricane season has remade this coastline more than once, the Bay keeps salt in the air year-round, and even a quiet week brings enough damp to work on anything left sitting out. The Ocean State is a hard place to be an uncovered vehicle.

A metal carport, metal building, or combo unit gives Rhode Island property owners a permanent, certified structure built for New England snow country — heavy snow load construction is the only way we build here. Every structure rides on heavy-duty 12-gauge galvanized steel framing — the gauge other regions sell as an upgrade — with legs 4' on center or less, U-channel braces on 12' to 18' wide units, and a welded steel truss on 19' to 30' wide units, certified to a standard of 125 MPH wind and 70 PSF snow load, with snow-load certifications available up to 90 PSF where your county requires more. All anchors are included.

For homeowners, that means a car that isn't buried under February's wet snow and a boat that isn't weathering on the trailer — in Rhode Island the boat spends half the year out of the water, and where it sits matters. A fully enclosed metal garage or steel building takes it further: dry, salt-free storage on a welded, snow-rated frame that shrugs off what the Bay throws at it.

For businesses, the stakes are higher — a marina's haul-out yard, a charter or fishing operation's gear, or a landscape company's fleet is real capital sitting in the salt air, and one hard nor'easter can cost a season's margin. A wide-span or commercial steel structure delivers the same certified protection at winter-boat-storage scale — clear-span room for hulls, trucks, and equipment on a 12-gauge frame built for the load.

Every metal structure in Rhode Island is delivered and professionally installed at no extra charge within our service area, backed by financing and rent-to-own for homeowners and businesses alike. Design and price your carport, building, RV cover, or combo unit in the 3D Design Center above, or call 1-800-324-5315 to talk through what fits your property — residential or commercial.
