Regular Roof Carports
Regular roof carports use rounded eaves and horizontal panels for straightforward coverage on driveways, parking pads, and smaller storage areas.
Budget Friendly
A simpler roof profile can reduce cost while still using 14-gauge or 12-gauge structural framing.
Fast Install
Simplified roof design allows for rapid manufacturing and installation on your property, usually within a single day.
UV Protection
Essential for Northern California summers. Drastically reduces surface temperature on your vehicles and prevents paint fading.
Custom Sizes
Available in widths from 12' to 30' and lengths to match your residential driveway or backyard parking needs.
The Eave Detail
Regular roofs feature a "radius" bend on the shoulder of the building, eliminating the need for separate trim and providing a clean, curved appearance.
The Traditional Choice
Regular roof carports are the classic design that millions of property owners trust. By bending the steel panels over the frame, we create a continuous roof surface that is both strong and efficient to build.
Panel Orientation
Panels run front-to-back (horizontally). This is standard for carports under 30' long in mild debris areas.
Eave Clearance
The rounded eaves provide a slightly lower entry profile on the sides while maintaining full center height clearance.
Is a Regular Roof Right for You?
Choose This If:
- You want a lower-cost roof profile
- You are protecting standard sized cars or SUVs
- You live in an area with low levels of tree debris
- You prefer the traditional rounded-eave style
- The structure is less than 30 feet long
Upgrade to A-Frame If:
- You want to match the roof line of your home
- You need more side clearance (peak-to-peak)
- You live in high snow or heavy rain zones
- You want vertical panel drainage (Vertical Roof)
- You are building a structure over 30' long
The Norcal Carport Standard
Standard carports still need the right leg height, frame gauge, anchor type, and roof length for the property. We size those details around the vehicle and site conditions.
