18x30x8 Metal Utility Carport with Enclosed Storage Room

The 18x30x8 metal utility carport from Wise Metal Buildings is a space-efficient structure combining an open vehicle shelter with a secure rear storage room. Designed for both residential and light-duty commercial use, this metal building offers a practical layout for protecting vehicles, storing outdoor tools, or organizing seasonal gear. With 25 feet of open carport space in the front and a 10-foot enclosed room in the back, it maximizes function without taking up unnecessary square footage.

Dual-Purpose Layout for Maximum Functionality

This unit features a split design that caters to two different storage needs: quick-access coverage for vehicles or equipment and a lockable section for more sensitive or valuable items. Whether you’re trying to keep your driveway tidy or reclaim garage space, this building provides the flexibility to do both.

• Building Size: 18 feet wide × 30 feet long × 8 feet leg height
• Open Area: 25 feet of carport space at the front
• Enclosed Room: 10 feet of secure rear storage
• Doors: 6×7 roll-up door and a standard walk-in door
• Roof Style: Gable design for strength and runoff

25 Feet of Open Shelter for Vehicles and Equipment

The front section spans 25 feet in length and remains open on the sides, making it ideal for drive-in vehicle protection or shaded workspace. The gable-style roof enhances airflow while channeling rain and debris off the surface. This area is perfect for cars, trucks, ATVs, trailers, or outdoor gear.

• Spacious Coverage: Room for two cars or one truck and trailer combo
• 8-Foot Leg Height: Allows for tall vehicles and riding mowers
• Quick Access: Pull in and out without hassle

10-Foot Rear Room for Secured Storage

Behind the carport, a fully enclosed 10-foot room provides lockable space for equipment, supplies, and valuables. This storage area is especially useful for items that need protection from moisture, sunlight, or unwanted attention.

• Secure Rear Compartment: Ideal for lawn gear, tools, or seasonal items
• Organized Separation: Dedicated zone away from parked vehicles
• Steel Paneling: Durable exterior keeps contents safe and dry

Roll-Up and Walk-In Access

Access is streamlined with a 6×7 roll-up door located on the enclosed section, large enough for zero-turn mowers, compact tractors, or snowblowers. A standard personnel door is also included for daily use without needing to open the larger roll-up door.

• Roll-Up Door: Fits most ride-on and wheeled equipment
• Walk-In Door: Easy access for tools, supplies, and foot traffic

Built to Endure with Galvanized Steel

This utility carport is constructed with a steel frame and metal paneling, making it a strong, low-maintenance option for any property. The materials resist rust, pests, and warping — even in regions with harsh seasonal shifts.

• All-Steel Frame: Engineered for year-round use

• Minimal Maintenance: No sealing, staining, or repainting required
