This all steel lean-to carport Northwest San Antonio project is a 21’x22′ attached structure. Paint color was chosen by customer and we did the work. All posts welded to plates that are bolted into the existing concrete slab. 26 gauge galvalum panels top the structure.
About this lean-to carport in Northwest San Antonio
A lean-to carport has a single sloped roof that attaches to the side of an existing building, with posts holding up the open side. That simple shape is one of the most practical ways to add covered parking, because the roof sheds rain away from the house and the footprint stays compact. This 21’x22′ structure was built over an existing concrete slab, so the posts were welded to steel plates and bolted down instead of starting a new foundation.
Built for Texas sun and storms
Vehicles parked in the open take a beating from the Texas sun, and a covered spot keeps interiors cooler and paint protected. Hail and gusty storm winds are also part of life in the San Antonio area, so the connection between the posts, the base plates and the roof frame matters. Galvalume steel panels do not rot and need little upkeep, and because the customer picked the paint color, the carport blends in with the home instead of standing out.
