Why Carports Matter

Carports offer multiple benefits:

Types of Carports We Install

Freestanding carports

Freestanding carports

Independent structures ideal for large yards or areas away from the house.

Attached carports

Attached carports

Connect to the house or existing structure (requires careful flashing and water intrusion prevention).

Metal carports

Metal carports

Durable and low-maintenance with metal roofing and steel framing.

Wood-framed carports

Wood-framed carports

Offer a more traditional look and can be matched to home aesthetics; require more maintenance than metal.

Enclosed carport conversions

Enclosed carport conversions

Partial enclosure with siding and doors for increased security and weather protection.

Site Preparation and Foundations

Footings and anchors

Properly sized concrete footings and anchor connections prevent uplift and shifting.

Soil analysis

We evaluate soil bearing capacity and drainage to select the correct footing depth and size.

Slab vs. piers

For heavier loads or equipment, a full concrete slab may be recommended. For lighter carports, reinforced piers may suffice.

Durability and Materials

Design Considerations

Roof pitch and materials

Metal roofing is common; roof pitch influences snow and rain shedding (snow load is minimal in Burnet but heavy rain runoff must be addressed).

Clearance and drive approach

Design for ease of vehicle access and turning radius.

Drainage

Provide gutter and downspout strategies to manage roof runoff away from foundations and driveways.

Integration with existing landscaping and property aesthetic

Post and beam styles, paint or stain choices, and trim detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

A professionally installed metal carport can last 20+ years with proper maintenance. Wood carports last less unless well-maintained and sealed.

Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction and whether the carport is attached to the house. TTT Construction coordinates permitting for Burnet City and county projects.

Yes. We design for required clearances and load considerations for larger vehicles such as RVs and boats.

In many cases, yes — but that usually requires additional foundation work and permit revisions. We can plan for future conversion when initially installing foundations.

Costs depend on size, materials, foundation type, and local permit costs. We provide an itemized estimate after a site visit.
