30x55x12 Metal Utility Carport with Enclosed Workshop

The 30x55x12 metal utility building from Wise Metal Buildings is a dual-purpose structure designed to handle both enclosed storage needs and open-air coverage. With a 30-foot fully enclosed rear section and a 25-foot open carport in the front, this building is ideal for those who need both a secure workspace and convenient covered parking or staging area. Its hybrid layout supports everything from home workshops to small-scale business setups and agricultural use, all while maintaining a compact footprint that maximizes versatility.

Constructed from rugged galvanized steel and topped with a gable-style roof, this structure combines strength, simplicity, and smart design. The enclosed section provides security and shelter for tools, materials, or ongoing projects, while the open carport is perfect for parking, temporary work areas, or storing equipment that doesn’t require full enclosure.

Enclosed 30-Foot Rear Section

The back portion of the structure is fully enclosed, offering 30 feet of protected space that can be used as a workshop, utility room, storage bay, or all of the above. This section is outfitted with a 10×10 walk-in door, allowing easy movement of large items like mowers, generators, workbenches, or shelving. A single window brings in natural daylight, helping to illuminate the workspace without relying solely on artificial lighting.

• Dimensions: 30 feet long × 30 feet wide × 12 feet high
• Door Access: 10×10 walk-in for wide, convenient entry
• Lighting: One window provides natural light and airflow

25-Foot Open Carport

The front portion of the building is a 25-foot open carport equipped with one panel down each side. This area is ideal for storing items that don’t require complete enclosure, such as vehicles, trailers, tractors, or larger tools. The gable-style roof encourages water runoff, while the side panels help reduce exposure to wind, sun, and rain.

• Open Length: 25 feet of extended roof coverage
• Roof Type: Gable style for structural strength and water control
• Side Panels: Partial coverage improves weather resistance

This open-air section is particularly useful for equipment that needs shade and some protection but doesn’t require being locked away. It’s a great solution for those who need quick access to gear without walking through an enclosed space.

Durability and Materials

Made with galvanized steel framing and finished with heavy-duty painted metal panels, this structure is built to withstand long-term wear and tear. The materials are corrosion-resistant and require minimal upkeep, even in challenging climates. Reinforced frame options are also available for customers located in regions that experience heavy snow or high winds.

• Galvanized Steel: Long-lasting, corrosion-resistant frame and siding
• Low Maintenance: Requires little more than occasional cleaning
• Customizable Strength: Frame upgrades available for snow/wind loads

Popular Use Cases

This 30x55x12 utility building is an excellent choice for a wide variety of uses, including:

• Parking Area: Protect personal or work vehicles from sun and rain
• Hobby Space: Ideal for setting up large projects without sacrificing indoor space
