Here's a great idea: take a metal carport and combine it with a storage shed – we call it the Stor-Port! The carport canopy delivers premium protection from the weather with the strength and durability of steel. And by adding an interior front wall with a door and a back wall, you’ve created a versatile structure that also provides much-needed storage space for lawnmowers, yard equipment, bicycles, and other outdoor gear. And with VersaTube’s Slip-Fit connections, the easy-to-assemble frame is up in no time and ready for roofing and siding installation. VersaTube offers standard one-vehicle and two-vehicle Stor-Ports, but our flexible frame design allows you to customize the structure size – and the amount of storage space – that fits your need.

Stor-Ports Truss Bracing
Interior truss bracing may be required by engineering depending on the carport dimensions and your local snow and wind load requirements. Typically, 10’, 12’, 14’ and some 18’ and 20’ models do not require truss bracing. Some 18’ and 20’ and all 24’ and wider units are sold with truss bracing. Truss braces are used on all interior truss frame sections and ARE NOT REQUIRED for the front and back end truss sections of Stor-Ports.
