You want your truck, your RV, or your equipment out of the Florida sun and out of the next downpour, and you want a cover that stands up to a storm instead of folding in it. That is what a metal carport from Sandalwood Shed’s & More is built to do. We sell and install carports across Ocala, Belleview, and the counties around us, in regular, A-frame, and vertical roof styles, sized for a single car or a row of farm equipment. Delivery and setup are included, and the price we quote you is the price you pay. Tell us what you are covering and we will get you the right one.
Sandalwood Shed’s & More sells and installs metal carports across Ocala and Belleview, Florida, in regular, A-frame, and vertical roof styles. Vertical roof carports shed rain best and hold up strongest in Florida storms. Single, double, and triple sizes are available, with certified engineering for permits. Delivery and setup are included within 50 miles, with all-in pricing and no hidden fees.
The roof is the part that decides how your carport handles wind and rain, so it is worth a minute to understand the three styles before you pick. Here is the honest version, the same way we would walk it with you on the lot.
The rounded, standard roof. The panels run front to back, and it is the most affordable cover we offer. For a car, a trailer, or general shade in a sheltered spot, a regular roof does the job and saves you money. See the regular roof carport
A peaked, house-style roof with finished, boxed edges so it looks more like your home than a basic shelter. The boxed eaves add strength and a cleaner look. A good middle pick when you want it to match the house. See the A-frame boxed-eave carport
The panels run from the peak straight down to the eaves, so rain, leaves, and debris slide off instead of sitting on top. This is the style we point most Florida buyers toward, because it sheds our heavy summer rain and holds up best in high wind. If you are covering an RV, a boat, or anything you plan to keep a long time, this is the upgrade worth making. See the vertical roof carport
Not sure which one fits your spot and your budget? Tell us what you are parking and where it sits, and we will tell you the right roof, even if it is the cheaper one.
Florida is hard on anything left outside. The sun bakes paint and cracks dashboards, the summer rain comes sideways, and storm season tests every cover in the county. A thin, light carport that was not put up right can rack, lift, or come apart in the wind, and then you are out the money and back where you started, only now with a mess to clean up. Buying the cheapest cover you can find is usually how you end up buying two.
The frame is what carries the load, so it is the part to get right. Our carports are built from galvanized steel framing and anchored to the ground the right way for the surface they sit on, whether that is dirt, gravel, or concrete. Heavier 12-gauge framing is available when you want more strength, and the panels run in the roof style you choose. For permits and for peace of mind, certified engineering is available so your carport is rated to a Florida wind speed, signed off by an engineer.
That is the difference between a carport you forget about and one you worry about every time the wind picks up. Buy it once, anchor it right, and let it do its job for years.
Carports come in a wide range of widths and lengths, from a single-car cover to a span wide enough for a row of equipment, with the height set to clear whatever you are parking. The right size depends on one thing: what you are putting under it. Here is how most of our neighbors use them.
Cars and trucks. A single cover keeps one vehicle out of the sun and rain. A double gives you room for two, or one vehicle plus a work area.
RVs and boats. These need extra height and length, and they are exactly what you want covered, because the sun is hardest on the finish and the seals. See RV and boat covers.
Equipment, trailers, and work gear. Open carports keep tractors, mowers, and trailers under roof. Want walls or a partial enclosure to lock things up? Look at utility carports and combo units.
Something specific. If your spot or your use is not a standard size, we build custom carports to fit, and you can lay out your own on the build-and-price tool.
Tell us the vehicle or the gear and the space you have, and we will size it so it fits the first time.
You are not buying a steel frame. You are buying whether it gets sized right, anchored right, and stood behind. That is the part a price tag does not show.
Carport price comes down to size, roof style, gauge, height, and whether you want any walls or certification. We price in the middle of the market, not the cheapest and not the most expensive, and we quote it all in. The number we give you includes delivery and setup within 50 miles of Belleview. No surprise freight charge, no setup fee tacked on at the end. You see the real price before you decide.
If paying all at once is not the plan, we have financing options, including a rent-to-own program with no credit check, so you can get covered now and pay over time. We look at what makes sense for you, not a single credit score, and we will tell you straight if a smaller carport does the job and saves you money.
Delivery is quick. In-stock and standard builds go up fast, and custom orders take a little longer to come in. We serve Marion, Sumter, Citrus, Lake, Alachua, and Levy counties, with free delivery and setup inside 50 miles. Tell us where it is going and we will give you the timeline with the quote.
It depends on where you live and how big the carport is. A permanent structure anchored to the ground often needs a permit, and the rules are different inside the Ocala, Belleview, and Dunnellon city limits than they are out in the county. Setbacks, zoning, and any HOA rules apply on top of that. We do not pull permits for you, and a permit is not required for us to deliver, but we will not leave you guessing.
Here is how we help: if your county or city wants engineered drawings to approve the carport, certified engineering is available so your structure is rated and signed off for a Florida wind speed. We will tell you what is typical for your area and point you to the right county office to confirm. Ask us before you order, and we will make sure you get a carport the inspector is happy with.
Getting your carport is three easy steps
1. Tell us what you are covering. A car, an RV, a tractor, or a spot you want shaded. We start with the job, not the sale.
2. We size it and price it all-in. We confirm the right roof style, size, and any certification you need, then give you one honest price with delivery and setup included.
3. We deliver and set it up. Our crew installs and anchors it the right way for your surface, and we stand behind it after.
That is it. No pressure, no runaround.
For most Florida buyers, a vertical roof is the strongest pick. The panels run from the peak down to the eaves, so heavy rain and debris slide off instead of sitting on top, and it holds up better in high wind. A regular roof is fine for a budget cover in a sheltered spot, and an A-frame is a nice middle option that matches the house.
Certified engineering is available so your carport is rated to a Florida wind speed and signed off by an engineer. This is what most counties want if they require a permit. Tell us the rating your area asks for and we will make sure your carport meets it.

Often yes for a permanent, anchored structure, and the rules differ inside the city limits of Ocala, Belleview, and Dunnellon versus out in the county. Setbacks, zoning, and HOA rules also apply.

Yes. Many carports can have walls or a partial enclosure added to lock up equipment or make a garage-style space. If you think you may want to close it in down the road, tell us up front and we will set you up with a frame that makes it easy. See utility carports and combo units.
