Metal Carports & Buildings in Bend, Oregon

Bend is home base for Skyliner Buildings. We help Bend homeowners, ranches and businesses pick, permit and put up steel carports, RV covers, garages and shops that handle high-desert snow and wind.

Carports & RV covers in Bend

A metal carport is the simplest way to get vehicles, a boat or a side-by-side out of the snow and sun. In Bend, a lot of our carports go on tighter in-town lots, so the first question is usually the footprint: how wide do you need to open both truck doors, and how far is the carport from the property line? Start with the size you need, then check it against your setbacks.

An RV cover is the same open design built taller and longer, sized for a motorhome, fifth wheel or travel trailer. Gables on the ends and a short side panel under the eave add strength and shade, but it is still an open carport, not an enclosed building.

Metal garages & shops in Bend

When you want sides and ends closed in, you are looking at a metal garage or shop. In Bend that often means a detached garage behind the house, a hobby shop, or storage for tools and toys. You pick the roll-up doors, a walk-in door and windows, and place them where they work for your driveway.

Our standard is 14 gauge steel framing. Most Bend buyers go with the A-frame vertical roof, because the panels run from the ridge down to the eave and snow and pine needles slide off.

Snow load & certified options

Bend does not have one snow number for the whole city. The snow load your building must be designed for depends on your exact address and elevation, and the city's building division is the one to confirm it. Certified buildings are rated for 40, 50, 60 or 80 psf snow load. Once you know your number, we match the building to it.

Delivery & install to Bend

We deliver and install free in Bend. Before install day, the site needs to be level and clear, and you should know whether you are setting the building on concrete, gravel or bare ground, because each one uses different anchors. Our site prep checklist walks through it.

Financing

Financing is available. The down payment is 12% for certified buildings and 11% for non-certified buildings. Call and we'll go over the options.
