Metal shed covers for my FR3

progolfer · 03-12-2015, 07:46 PM

Could someone with this log in title please let me know about the picture of your motorhome covered by a metal shed. I would like to know how to purchase one of this type for my FR3. It looks like it would be perfect for Big Ben ( our motorhome ). I would like to talk with you or anyone else that has a metal type cover for their motorhome. The one I am referring to came from Harleydriven 378. Please send me info on this cover. Thank You

progolfer, To get a good estimate on what one would cost, I went to www.carport.com You can custom build to your specs and get a quoted price. Let me know how you make out.

There are plenty of companies that make these shelters for motor homes in metal and canvas. You just need to Google "RV shelters" and a bunch will come up.

I am currently trying to get my permits for my metal portable building. I have been talking to Robert from Metalcarportdepotllc.com. He has asked me every question to make sure I put up the right one. Robert knows his stuff. Depending where you live you have to make sure of things like wind & Snow. Roberts # is 1-888-552-3602. Good luck!

We used Bennett's steel structures in Augusta Ga. for our 18ft. wide by 41 ft. long by 11 ft. high metal shed and had very good service and installation with them. Have had shed since Oct. of 2014 and love it.

I sure wish I had room for one of these. I have to basically park my camper in my front yard on the edge of my driveway. A building would look just a wee bit too weird.

they sure are nice though and keep the campers nice and protected.

I had a cover installed that was 4 feet longer than my camper. 36 x 24. Two years later I bought a camper that was 2 foot longer. It now sticks out about 4'. Did I tell you I should have gotten a cover about 10' longer to protect the ends better?

I went to a metal building plant that was about 100 miles from our home. Their salesman had the name of a couple of guys that did custom installs. We got a 24x41 15ft high cover for $4100. It was about the same as some of the online guys but the metal was heavier and the install was a higher quality in my opinion. We live in South Texas and having a shade over our MH makes an incredible difference in keeping it cool.

BTW, best advice I got was to "over build" for future RVs that might be larger than what we had then. Sure enough, two years later we needed that longer cover and the extra overhead clearance.

Kenlea-Did you use the company out of Victoria? I have determined that an opened ended quality carport runs about $100/foot for a 24 wide by 15 high. Mine also included drop sides of 6'.

We put up a 40' L, 18' W, and 16' H at peak on a 41X19'slab. Ran electric and water in ground 170' to it as well. Total cost was under 10K, Can be set up by 2 - 3 folks. Bought framing from Absolute Steel in AZ and roofing from Mueller's here in TX. You don't have to have a full slab but that's what we did. You can see various bldgs. at Absolute Steel website.
