Cost Breakdown by Carport Size

Carport pricing is driven primarily by square footage and roof style. Below are the installed price ranges for Orangeburg County in 2026.

Single Carport ($1,500 - $2,500)

A single carport covers one vehicle and typically measures 12x20 or 12x25. This is the most affordable option for Orangeburg homeowners who need basic vehicle protection from sun, rain, and hail. A 12x20 single carport with a vertical roof starts around $1,800 installed.

Double Carport ($2,500 - $4,000)

A double carport covers two vehicles side by side and typically measures 18x20, 20x20, or 24x25. This is the most popular size we install in Orangeburg County. A standard 20x20 double with a vertical roof runs approximately $3,200 installed.

Triple-Wide and RV Carports ($4,000 - $6,000+)

Wide-span carports for three vehicles, RVs, boats, or farm equipment range from 24 to 40+ feet wide. An RV cover tall enough to clear a Class A motorhome (14-foot leg height) in a 30x30 configuration typically runs $5,000 to $6,000 installed. Larger custom builds exceed $6,000 depending on dimensions.

Enclosed Carports and Metal Buildings ($5,000 - $10,000+)

Adding side panels, end walls, walk doors, and windows transforms an open carport into a fully enclosed metal building. Enclosed structures cost 40% to 60% more than open carports of the same footprint. A 24x30 enclosed building with a walk door and roll-up garage door starts around $7,500 installed. See our metal buildings page for more details.

What Affects Metal Carport Cost

Several factors determine your final price beyond the basic footprint. Understanding these helps you budget accurately before requesting your free estimate.

• Size (width x length): This is the single biggest cost driver. Every additional foot adds material and labor cost.
• Leg height: Standard 7-foot legs are included in base pricing. Taller legs for RVs, trucks, or equipment add $1 to $3 per additional foot of height per leg.
• Roof style: Regular (rounded) roofs cost the least. Boxed eave (A-frame) costs slightly more. Vertical roof panels are the premium option, adding $300 to $600 to the total, but are strongly recommended for Orangeburg weather.
• Side enclosures: Each enclosed side adds $200 to $500 depending on the length. Full enclosure with end walls and doors adds significantly to cost but creates a secure, weather-tight building.
• Anchoring type: Ground anchors (for dirt, gravel, or grass) are standard. Concrete anchors cost slightly more if you are mounting to an existing slab.
• Site preparation: Dubya Carports installs on level ground. If your site needs grading, gravel, or a concrete pad, those costs are separate from the carport itself.

Why Dubya Uses Vertical Roof Panels

Every carport we recommend in Orangeburg County uses vertical roof panels, and there is a specific reason for that. Vertical panels are the best roof style for South Carolina's climate, and they are the key differentiator between a carport that holds up for decades and one that develops problems within a few years.

Standard horizontal panels trap water at every seam. In Orangeburg County, where annual rainfall exceeds 48 inches and thunderstorms are frequent from April through October, that trapped water corrodes seams and eventually causes leaks. Vertical panels shed water straight down off the roof edge, eliminating pooling entirely. The hat channel substructure also provides a more rigid frame that resists wind uplift better than standard framing.

The cost difference is modest. Vertical roof panels add roughly $300 to $600 to the total price of a standard carport. For that investment, you get a structure rated for higher wind loads, better drainage, and a significantly longer lifespan. We recommend vertical roofs on every installation we do in the SC Midlands region.

Carport vs. Garage: Cost Comparison

Building a detached garage in Orangeburg County is a major construction project. A basic two-car garage costs $20,000 to $40,000 or more when you factor in the foundation, framing, roofing, siding, electrical, and permits. The timeline is typically 4 to 8 weeks.

A comparable two-car metal carport costs $2,500 to $4,000 installed and is completed in a single day. Even a fully enclosed metal building that functions as a garage alternative costs $7,000 to $10,000 — still a fraction of traditional construction. For Orangeburg homeowners who need vehicle protection without a full construction project, a metal carport is the clear value choice.
