Grand Carport Series

 
The Grand Series Carports feature vertical application of sheet metal roof panels over required roof purlins.  This carport allows easier runoff of rain and snow.  And with the VersaTube Slip-Fit frame connections, installation time is reduced.  The Grand design has gained popularity in the last few years from homeowners seeking a shelter profile that more closely matches the roof style of their home.

Grand Carport Truss Bracing
