Who we build for
A leader in covered parking for multi-family, commercial, agricultural and storage facilities.
For more than 30 years, Texas Metal Construction has built covered parking and site steel for property owners, managers and developers. A job can be one row of carports or a full property package with fencing, gates and railings. Either way, we handle the steel work from start to finish.
We run a full manufacturing facility, so your project is fabricated in our own shop instead of passing through a supplier. Cutting out the middleman keeps our pricing competitive and puts you in direct contact with the people building your job, starting with John Swanner, our president.

Carport styles
Pick the frame that fits the lot.
Every parking layout is different. These are the carport styles we build most often. Call and we'll help you choose the right one for your site.

Full Frame Cantilever
One line of posts with the roof reaching out over the space, so car doors and drive aisles stay open.

End Post
Posts set at the end of the bays, which leaves the front of each space clear.

Back-to-Back
One center row of columns covers two facing rows of parking.

Four-Post
Posts on both sides for long, straight runs, including parking garage rooftops.

Gable Roof
A peaked roof line that matches the pitched roofs of the buildings around it.

Galvanized
A bright galvanized finish on the frame and the roof panels.
