Carports & RV covers in Sisters

A metal carport in Sisters keeps snow off your vehicles and gear without much of a footprint. Under pine trees, an A-frame vertical roof sheds needles as well as snow. Leave room around the posts to clear snow in winter.

If you have a travel trailer or motorhome, an RV cover is a taller, longer carport. Gables on the ends and a short side panel under the eave add strength. It is still open on the sides.

Metal garages & shops in Sisters

A metal garage or shop has the sides and ends closed in, with the roll-up doors, walk-in door and windows you choose. Steel framing and panels are noncombustible, so they add no fuel and have no wood siding for embers to catch. What you store inside can still burn, and embers can get in through openings, so defensible space around the building still matters.

Framing is 14 gauge steel as standard.

Sisters FAQ

Who handles permits in Sisters?

Are steel buildings a good fit for wildfire areas?

Steel framing and panels are noncombustible, which helps, but steel alone does not protect what is inside: contents can burn and embers can get in through openings. Keep up defensible space and ask your building department whether wildfire standards apply to your lot.
