20×30 is the most-quoted carport size we sell. It fits two full-size vehicles, a truck plus a boat, or an RV with a workshop bay alongside it. Pricing in 2026 sits in a fairly tight band — but the spread between the lowest and highest configuration is wider than most buyers expect. Here's the real breakdown.

The short answer

All prices include free delivery and installation in 48 states and a 10-year limited warranty. Pricing varies modestly by region; states with very high snow load or coastal salt exposure trigger upgrades.

What drives the price

Roof style (the single biggest swing)

Regular roof uses horizontal panels with rounded corners — the cheapest option and fine for mild climates. A-frame horizontal uses gabled framing with horizontal panels and is recommended for moderate snow. A-frame vertical runs the panels vertically from peak to eave so snow, leaves, and rain slide off cleanly — required by most manufacturers for any unit over 31 ft long or in heavy snow zones. Expect about $200–$1,000 between roof styles on a 20×30.

Gauge of the steel frame

Standard 14-gauge tubular is the default. 12-gauge tubular is a $200–$450 upgrade and gets you a heavier wall, longer warranty, and higher snow/wind ratings — worth it in storm country.

Eave height

Base eave is 6 ft. Each 1-ft height upgrade adds about $80–$150. For a 20×30 you'll typically want 8–10 ft if you're parking an SUV or boat, and 12 ft for an RV.

Enclosure

Adding wall panels is priced per linear foot. A single full side on a 20×30 adds roughly $400–$600. Two sides adds $800–$1,100. Full enclosure (all four sides plus end walls) typically adds $1,800–$2,800.

Doors and windows

Anchors and surface

Free anchors are included for concrete (wedge anchors), asphalt (asphalt anchors), and dirt/gravel (rebar or mobile-home anchors). Concrete is recommended for any enclosed configuration. A 600 sq ft slab for the 20×30 footprint typically runs $3,000–$5,000 separately.

What the final number looks like

See the full lineup on our carports page. Most 20×30 buyers in 2026 are landing around $3,600 for an open carport with horizontal panels and 8-ft walls, or $5,800 for a fully enclosed garage with one roll-up door, one walk-in door, and 10-ft walls. Add a slab and you're at $6,600 / $9,500 respectively, all-in, ready to use.

Lead time

Most 20×30 units ship and install in 2–4 weeks from order. Custom colors and higher-snow upgrades add 1–2 weeks. The installation crew typically completes a 20×30 in a single day.
