Petal Carports Built to Handle Tornadoes and Heavy Rain

Petal is a town of about 11,000 people in Forrest County, about 340 miles from our manufacturing plant in Kilgore, Texas. Tornado warnings and heavy rain come with every storm season. We build each carport from galvanized steel with Sherwin-Williams coated panels, so your cars, trucks and boats stay out of the weather.

Every carport is built to your measurements. Choose the width, length and leg height, then add side panels, gable ends or color-matched trim. A vertical roof sheds rain and debris fastest and carries the strongest wind rating, so it is the style we recommend here. A concrete slab gives the strongest hold. Level ground with auger anchors also works on many lots.

Check with the City of Petal about permit requirements before you build; we supply engineered drawings for the application. Our crews serve Petal and the surrounding communities of Hattiesburg, Ellisville, Laurel and Columbia. Most installs take a single day, and financing is available.
