Easily calculate  center height of a carport or garage 

What will be the exact center height of a carport or garage? 

There are three factors that will dictate the center height of your building.

The  exact center height of a carport or garage  depends on the side leg height chosen, the width of the building, and the roof style.

To choose a roof style please see this article on roof styles and their differences.

The chart below will enable you to calculate the center height of your building. For example, if the carport or garage is a Standard Style Double unit, 20 feet wide with 7 feet legs, add 3′ 0″ to the 7 feet leg height for a total height of 10′.  This height is measured at the very bottom of the frame under the roof panel.

To automatically calculate the exact price of a carport, metal garage, triple wide garage, or other building see the job estimator/price calculator.
