Is the VersaTube 12x20 carport worth it?

For a low-cost, self-installed shelter over one vehicle, yes. It costs far less than a built-on-site carport, but expect a light structure that needs anchoring and snow clearing.

How long does assembly take?

VersaTube rates it as a one-day setup. In practice, two people with basic tools should plan a full day, and site prep and anchoring add time.

Does it hold up in snow?

The roof is rated for 22 lbs per square foot of snow load. That handles light to moderate snow, but you should clear heavy accumulation to avoid overloading the panels.

Can I put it on gravel or dirt?

Yes. Ground anchors are included for gravel or soil, and concrete anchors are included if you pour a slab. A level, compacted base is important either way.

Will it fit a truck or small RV?

The 10-foot wall height and 12-foot width clear most pickups, vans and small travel trailers. Measure your vehicle's height and width, including mirrors and roof racks, before ordering.

The kit includes the pre-drilled steel frame, sheet metal roof and wall panels, fasteners and ground or concrete anchors. You supply tools and any site prep materials.

Our take on the VersaTube 12' x 20' Steel Carport

The VersaTube 12' x 20' Steel Carport is a DIY bolt-together kit that shelters one vehicle under a 10-foot-tall, 12-by-20-foot steel frame with sheet metal roof and walls. It uses triple-coated steel for corrosion protection, a 3:12 roof slope, and a 22 psf snow load rating, and it ships with ground or concrete anchors. Assembly is designed to finish in about a day with basic tools. It is a budget-friendly alternative to a built-on-site wood or welded steel carport, though it is a light structure best suited to moderate snow and wind.
