5. More available options than woodYou can get the steel tubing in 12 or 15 gauge, and the sheet metal in 26 or 29 gauge. What size gauge you need is based upon the size and configuration of the building, and where you live. If you live in a place with harsh winters with high winds and heavy snow load, then you would need the heavier gauge.

You can purchase them as a kit, either of predetermined size or some companies allow special orders, and then assemble the carport yourself. Metal is often more affordable than wood, everything you need is in one package, and if you assemble it yourself, you save a lot on labor.
