Side Entry Carports

Need the protection of a metal carport but want easier access from the side? Side entry carports are a practical option for homeowners, farmers, and business owners who need covered space for vehicles, equipment, tools, or everyday storage without fully enclosing the structure like a garage.

Unlike standard carports that are accessed from the front or back, side entry metal carports are designed with entry points along the side walls. This layout makes it easier to park, load, unload, and move around the structure, especially if you have multiple vehicles, wide equipment, or limited driveway space.

At Carport Central, our side entry steel carports can be customized for residential, agricultural, and commercial use. Whether you need a simple vehicle shelter or a larger structure with added storage and enclosed sections, we can help you design a carport that fits your property and your budget.

What Is a Side Entry Carport?

A side entry carport is a metal carport with access points on the side instead of the ends. This design gives you a wider opening along the length of the building, making it easier to use the space for parking, storage, equipment access, or daily work.

Because the side entry openings are built into the side walls, header bars are used to support the roof and frame system. This helps maintain strength while giving you the open access you need.

Side entry carports are especially useful for customers with multiple vehicles, farm equipment, trailers, lawn tools, watercraft, or commercial equipment.

Common Uses for Side Entry Metal Carports

Side entry carports are more versatile than many people realize. Yes, they work well for parking cars, trucks, and SUVs, but that is only the beginning. With the right size and layout, your structure can serve multiple purposes throughout the year.

Popular uses include:

Vehicle parking
Agricultural equipment storage
Lawn and garden equipment storage
Boat or watercraft shelter
Outdoor workspace
Farm or animal shelter
Covered entertainment area
Trailer or ATV storage
Commercial equipment protection

If you need a structure that can do more than just cover a vehicle, a side entry carport gives you the flexibility to use the space your way.

Design Your Custom Side Entry Carport

No two properties are exactly the same, and your carport should not be either. At Carport Central, you can customize your side entry carport based on how you plan to use it, what you need to store, and the weather conditions in your area.

Available customization options include:

Width, length, and height
Roof style
Roof, trim, and wall colors
Open or enclosed sides
Garage doors
Walk-in doors
Windows
Frame-outs
Foundation type
Panel orientation
Certified building options

Side Entry Carport Roof Styles

Your roof style affects both the look and performance of your carport. Carport Central offers three main roof styles, each suited for different budgets, climates, and protection needs.

Regular Roof

The regular roof is the most affordable option. It features rounded edges and horizontal roof panels, making it a popular choice for customers who need basic, budget-friendly coverage.

This roof style is best suited for areas with mild weather and limited exposure to heavy rain, snow, or high winds.

A-Frame Horizontal Roof

The A-frame horizontal roof, also known as a boxed eave roof, gives your side entry carport a more traditional building appearance. It uses horizontal paneling with an A-frame design, making it a good middle option for customers who want an upgraded look without the cost of a vertical roof.

This style is best for areas with moderate weather and light precipitation.

Vertical Roof

The vertical roof is the strongest and most weather-resistant option. It uses vertically oriented panels that help rain, snow, leaves, and debris slide off more easily. Additional framing components are also used for added strength.

A vertical roof is recommended for areas with heavy rain, snow, high winds, or harsh weather. It is also required for buildings longer than 36’.

Side Entry Carport Prices

Side entry carport prices depend on several factors, including the size of the building, roof style, height, certifications, location, and any added features such as doors, windows, enclosed walls, or storage areas.

The good news is that you do not have to guess your way through the process. Our building specialists can help you compare options, understand what affects pricing, and choose a side entry carport that gives you the best value for your needs.

Carport Central also offers flexible financing and rent-to-own options, making it easier to get the structure you need without paying the full amount upfront.
