Metal Carports in Amarillo, TX
Covers for cars, trucks, RVs and equipment.
A carport is about the simplest steel building you can buy, with just posts, a roof and a set of anchors. Some have one or two sides closed in to help block the wind.
In Amarillo, plan on getting a permit. The city only lets very small sheds of 200 square feet or less skip the permit, and carports aren't on that exempt list, so call Building Safety before you place an order.
Out here, ask about the anchors before you start thinking about colors. Panhandle wind can do real damage to a cover that isn't tied down well, and the anchors are what keep it in place.

Questions people ask
Do I need a permit for a carport in Amarillo?
Plan on it. The city's permit-free list only covers small sheds of 200 square feet or less. Call Building Safety to be sure.
Can I close it in later?
Sometimes. Ask before you buy, since walls change the wind load on the frame.
What anchors should I use?
It depends on the ground. Concrete, gravel and dirt use different anchors. Ask the installer.
