Carport & RV Covers
CARPORT
Whether you are covering Quads or an RV or several different vehicles at once, metal carports are the most economical, durable and attractive options to protect your vehicles from sap, bird droppings, UV rays, and the elements. Stop wasting your money on tarps and cheap box store covers that only last a couple of years. A metal carport is not only a smart investment for your use now, but it also adds value to the marketability of your home in the future.
Keep it simple with the Regular Style and just the roof or dress it up by going with the A-Frame style and enclosing the sides and back. Whatever your need is for shelter and appearance we can make your dream carport a reality. We’ve helped thousands of customers develop their dreams into reality so don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss your needs and interests so we can create the ideal carport for you.

This was an excellent experience! Fantastic product ( way better than a “Tuff Luck” shed). Augie worked with me to improve my design, got it delivered and installed without ANY problems. I’m 125% satisfied!!!
Jim Thompson
From start to finish, Augie, the owner, was AMAZING to work with! He is an excellent communicator and really listened to our ideas to help us design our 30x60 metal building. We had to make changes to our design late in the process and Augie handled it quickly without hesitation. When we had questions he was only a text away. Without reservation I recommend Foothill Country Sheds to anyone looking for quality product with professional service. We love our new 30x60 building with the 10x50 lean-to in white and charcoal!!!
Randa Gregorio
100% positive experience with Foothill Country Sheds! I had a unique situation in that my concrete slab was constructed by prior owners and was not designed exactly for the type of metal building that I wanted.
Steve Hardie
First class customer service, exceptional craftsmanship, I highly recommend this company!
Maria Contreras
Great company to work with! Setup a huge (50'x18'x15'tall) all in one day! Very high quality and great looking. Our neighbor was impressed and is looking at getting one. Definitely use them again!
David Roholt
Augie was wonderful to work with. His overall knowledge and advice ensured that our building was appropriate for our needs. We were in a time crunch and Augie was able to get a crew out within days. The crew were amazing to watch as they effortlessly erected the entire building in less than two days. I would most definitely recommend Augie for your building needs.
Angie Rowland
Augie was wonderful. He drew up some great plans for what I wanted. The guys were timely, courteous, hard working and I felt very comfortable with them on the property. Barn went up quickly and they cleaned up each day. Thanks Augie so much and kudos to your team. Very Happy!!!-

Ron Sharp
Exceptional Customer Service and Support!!! Auggie the owner was so helpful! We changed the size of the Carport 3 times, taller and wider! He always was patient and gave me all the options and cost! On installation day the team arrived on time and were very professional! Great quality and service! Would highly recommend!!!
Charlice Wiley
Absolutely amazing experience. I needed a woodworking shop, as the rest of the family thinks that garages are for parking cars. Augie and the rest of his team was very patient as we went through the various iterations, and he made clear all the trade offs. Permitting was a breeze - the plans were very well done. Construction team cranked it out in a few days, and the end result is amazing!!!
Todd Krein
The team was excellent to work with. The initial estimates were accurate, they were responsive to our size and design questions and adjusted the estimates appropriately. The installation process was excellent and the installers were able to address any concerns we had. I would definitely recommend this team to anyone looking for an efficient and professional installation! They even were able to install ahead of schedule.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is Foothill Country Sheds Local? (Northern California)
Foothill Country Sheds, based in El Dorado County, CA, is the regional dealer for the metal building manufacturer called Madera Carports which is based in
Madera, California (near Fresno). Madera Carports prefabricates and installs the buildings for its various dealer partners, so
be prepared to receive calls from the Madera Carports Scheduling Dept. with a 559 area code to schedule installation,
usually 1-2 weeks before the actual installation date.
What Is the Turnaround Time?
The turnaround time varies from season to season but is generally from 2-6 weeks
Do I Need a Permit?
Most building departments require a permit, whether it is an Ag exempt permit or standard accessory building permit, for any
structure larger than 120 square ft which is a 10 by 12 building. We do not require a permit to install your building. We
assume that you, as the homeowner, will address the applicable permit issues. To our knowledge the vast majority of our
customers do not get a permit. Our advice to every customer, whether getting a permit or not, is to understand the attitude of
your neighbors towards an outbuilding like this. Over 15 years and thousands of buildings we have only had a dozen or so request
engineered plans to retroactively get a permit; every single one of those has been because of a neighbor reporting them to
the building department because they think the building is an eyesore, it's blocking their view, or they simply feel it’s their responsibility to control what happens in the neighborhood. Please ensure that you have done your due diligence regarding the permit issue.
Should you decide to get a permit, we can supply the engineered plans which consist of the foundation plan, the structural analysis, and the elevations - everything you need, aside from the site plan, to submit to the building department for a permit.
Plans cost anywhere from $775 to $2,000 and take approximately 4-6 weeks to get. Once you get your permit, which could take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks or more, you will let us know that you have your permit so that we can at that point schedule you for installation which currently is approximately 2-6 weeks out determined by the availability of materials. My experience is that building departments charge approximately $1 per square foot for a permit.
For assistance determining the feasibility of acquiring a permit and then actually acquiring the permit contact Permits.com.
For assistance with creating a site plan contact DrawSitePlan.com.
For orders requesting the engineered plans, the price of the building is subject to change based on the engineer’s design
criteria.
How Long Will It Take to Install the Building?
Depending on the size and complexity of the building anywhere from 2 hours for a simple carport to several days for a large barn or warehouse. Generally speaking, metal buildings are installed in a surprisingly quick timeframe which is why they are so economical.
What Is the Difference/pro and Cons Between Regular Horizontal, A-Frame Horizontal, A-Frame Vertical?

Can You Attach to an Existing Building? Do You Modify/repair Existing Buildings?
Depending on the situation, we will attach to our own buildings but not others. If the building is one of ours, we can usually modify and/or repair the building or move it from one site to another. Whether or not we can do that for other brands depends on the specifics of that building. It helps to see pictures of the building to do an initial assessment. It is generally not feasible to increase the height of an existing building. In our experience, you are better off selling the building on a venue such as Facebook Marketplace and starting over to get exactly what works for your current needs.
Can You Do a Site Check?
It is always helpful for customers to provide us with pictures of the site from various perspectives so we may get an initial assessment. However, we generally do not conduct site surveys since Foothill Country Sheds do not have anything to do with preparing the site for installation. You will want to contact a grading or concrete contractor to assess the site to give you recommendations for what would be required to provide a level site.
Are The Structures Built to Handle Snow and Wind Loads?
For a guarantee that the buildings are designed and installed to meet your lot's load requirements we would need to procure the certified, engineered plans which include the foundation plan, the structural analysis, and elevations - everything needed for certification and to obtain a permit. Otherwise, we use our best judgement based on our experience of what our engineer has incorporated in the structural design for certification for various buildings and load requirements but it does not come with a guarantee as does a certified building.
Do I Have to Do Any Special Site Preparation?
The site must be within 4 to 6" of level for the building to be installed. Front to back differences in height are especially
prohibitive, whereas side to side differences in height can generally be accommodated so long as we know beforehand what
the difference in height is from side to side. We generally do not conduct site surveys since we do not have anything to do
with preparing the site for installation. You will want to contact a grading or concrete contractor to assess the site to give you
recommendations for what would be required to provide a level site.
How Does Payment Work?
The deposit is the lesser of 10% or $1,000. The remaining balance is due after the building is installed. Financing should be obtained from a 3rd party financing company.
How Are Carports & RV Covers Anchored?
- For any ground application, such as dirt, gravel, asphalt, and chip and seal, the standard anchoring is 3' rebar spikes that go through the base rail next to every leg.
- For concrete the standard anchoring is concrete wedge anchors known as "Redheads".
- For additional, superior anchoring we can add 30" augers or manta ray spikes
- reference the "TYPES OF METAL BUILDING OPTIONS".
