Our take on the VIWAT 20 ft. W x D Metal Carport, Car Canopy and Shelter

The VIWAT is a 12 by 20 ft. peak-roof carport with a galvanized steel roof on a steel frame, sized for one car and 8 ft. of clearance at the sides. It anchors to mud, asphalt or concrete with heavy-duty ground rods and ships as an assembly kit with tools included. The galvanized roof is the main selling point: it sheds snow and rain and won't tear like a fabric canopy. No current price was provided, so check the live comparison before buying.

Pros
  • Galvanized steel roof resists snow load, rain and UV better than fabric
  • 12 x 20 ft. footprint fits a full-size car with room to open doors
  • 8 ft. side height clears most SUVs and trucks
  • Peak roof sheds water and debris
  • Ground anchor rods included for mud, asphalt or concrete
  • Assembly kit ships with the tools needed
Cons
  • 3.2 of 5 from 54 ratings suggests uneven owner satisfaction
  • Steel roof and frame are heavy; two people minimum for assembly
  • No walls, so wind-driven rain and snow still reach the car
  • Needs a level, prepared site; anchoring into asphalt or concrete takes extra work
  • Galvanized steel can dent and may need touch-up over time

Questions and answers

Is the VIWAT carport worth it over a fabric canopy?
If you get snow, high wind or strong sun, yes: a galvanized steel roof lasts far longer than a tarp. If you only need shade for a season, a fabric canopy costs much less.
How big is it, and will my truck fit?
It is 12 ft. wide, 20 ft. long and 8 ft. tall at the sides, with a peak roof. That fits most pickups and SUVs, but measure your vehicle's height and mirror width first.
How many people does assembly take?
Plan on at least two, and three is better for lifting the roof panels. The kit includes tools and instructions, but budget most of a day.
Can I anchor it on concrete or asphalt?
Yes. The included ground anchor rods are meant for mud, asphalt or concrete. On hard surfaces you will need to drill or use suitable anchors, so check the base before you start.
Does it come with walls or just a roof?
It is a roof-and-frame shelter with no walls. Rain and snow can still blow in from the sides, so it protects the top of the car more than the whole car.
When is the price lowest?
Metal carports usually drop in late fall and winter, outside the spring and summer outdoor-project season. Ask our agent to watch the price history for a dip.
