Carports & RV covers in La Pine

On a lot of La Pine properties the job is simple: get the truck, the trailer or the snowmobiles out from under the snow. An open metal carport does that without a big footprint. If you plow or blow your own driveway, think about where the snow will go and leave room to clear around the posts.

Bigger rigs need an RV cover, which is a taller, longer carport. It stays open on the sides, even with gables on the ends and a short side panel under the eave. That keeps it a carport, not a building.

Metal garages & shops in La Pine

When the sides and ends are closed in, it is a metal garage or shop: a place to work on equipment in winter, park out of the weather, or store hay, tools and firewood. Pick your roll-up doors, a walk-in door and windows. On a larger lot, a wider building with a side addition gives you open storage next to the closed-in shop.

Framing is 14 gauge steel. In snow country we usually recommend the A-frame vertical roof, because vertical panels shed snow better than the other roof styles.

Snow load & certified options

La Pine sees real winters, but there is still no single snow number for the whole area. Your snow load depends on your exact address and elevation. Get it confirmed by the building department before you order, then choose a certified building rated for 40, 50, 60 or 80 psf snow load to match.
