A-Frame Roof Carports

What is an A-Frame Horizontal Carport?

A-Frame horizontal carport or boxed-eave carport is a kind of structure that copies traditional American roof styles. This type of structure’s allure lies in the appealing design and need for uniformity with the main house’s structural design.

Boxed-eave carports utilize horizontal panels, which adds to the building’s structural strength and gives a modicum of protection against the weather conditions. Experts recommend boxed-eave metal carports for areas that experience moderate weather.

The Boxed-Eave carport is available in 12-gauge or 14-gauge steel framing, and the size starts from 12’×21’. The specifications of the Boxed-eave steel carport makes for a sturdy and long-lasting carport building.

What’s the Difference Between Vertical Roof and Boxed Eave Carports?

The difference between these two is in the name.

Vertical roofs are designed or instead made along vertical lines. That is, the ridges run top to bottom from the peak down to the eaves. This particular type of roof style is recommended for areas where there is heavy snow or rainfall. It also requires no maintenance and easily sheds snow and other materials.

On the other hand, boxed-eave or A-Frame horizontal roofs are the more affordable version of vertical roofs. This roof style is the preferred method among American residential homes. So if you don’t want your carport roof style to clash with the main building, this is the style to go for. A-Frame horizontal roof runs horizontally, length to length. Experts recommend it for areas where the weather is moderate, and it usually requires very little maintenance to remove, dislodge, or clear substances that may impede drainage.
