Build & price

Build & price your Enid carport

Enid is a working town. Between Vance Air Force Base pilots running training sorties overhead, the grain elevators that make this the third-largest wheat storage city in the country, and the oil service trade that never really slowed down, the folks calling Barn Brothers in Enid need carports that hold up to actual use. We're not selling weekend yard furniture. Our metal carports Enid OK customers install end up covering pickup trucks that pull stock trailers, RVs that head out to the Glass Mountains every fall, and equipment for the family operations scattered across Garfield County. The architecture in Enid runs from the gorgeous old Waverley District homes near downtown to the newer builds out by Oakwood Mall and the developments stretching toward Cleo Springs. We install on all of it. Our crews understand the wind patterns that funnel down from the Cherokee Strip, the way Salt Fork weather differs from what hits Oklahoma City, and what it takes to anchor a 24-foot carport into Enid's tight clay-loam mix. We've been the steel building people for north-central Oklahoma long enough that most of our work comes from word of mouth.

Permits

Most: none

The City of Enid handles permits through the Building Inspections office at City Hall on West Maine. Accessory structures over 120 square feet require a permit, with site plans and basic engineering submittals. Properties within Air Installation Compatible Use Zones around Vance AFB have additional restrictions on height and reflective surfaces, since you don't want a 14-foot peaked carport interfering with training pattern approaches. We always check AICUZ overlay before quoting tall garages on the south and west sides of town. Setbacks in established Enid neighborhoods like Waverley and Kenwood typically run 5 feet on sides, 20 feet front, but historic district properties have additional architectural review. In Garfield County outside city limits, regulations are minimal beyond easement and septic considerations. Barn Brothers handles the permit submittals for Enid installs as part of our service, and we know which plan reviewers want stamped drawings versus just dimensioned sketches.

What your Enid carport actually has to survive

Enid sits in Garfield County, near Vance Air Force Base, with road access via US-412. The 2018 IBC wind speed map puts most of this region in the 115 MPH ultimate design wind zone (Risk Category II, Exposure C), which converts to roughly a 90 MPH nominal basic wind speed on engineered drawings.

Standard 14-gauge framing with mobile-home anchors and 29-gauge roofing rates to about 90 MPH — exactly the minimum, with zero margin. Our certified units are engineered up to 140 MPH wind and 35 PSF snow load depending on bracing, anchor pattern, and roof style. Out on open ridges and exposed pasture, we strongly recommend going certified at minimum 105 MPH.

Anchoring matters more than gauge. Most of Garfield County sits on the kind of clay-loam soils that give standard 30-inch mobile-home rebar anchors trouble — they lose 30–50% of their pull-out strength in dry months. We use 48-inch helical/auger anchors for any carport over 18 feet wide on dirt, concrete wedge anchors on slabs, and asphalt anchors with epoxy bonding on blacktop. Expect $80–$150 in anchor upgrades over the base “mobile home anchor” pricing other companies advertise. Worth every penny.

Snow load is low, ice is real. Design ground snow load for this part of Oklahoma is roughly 8 PSF under ASCE 7-16. But the 2021 ice storm dropped 1–2 inches of solid ice across much of the state. A quarter-inch of ice on a 20×26 vertical-roof carport adds roughly 400–500 pounds of point load. Vertical roof sheds it; horizontal-panel regular roofs trap it. That’s why we push vertical hard for any building over 24 feet wide.

Four ways to pay — honest math, side by side

A bare-bones 20×21 carport runs in the low four figures; a fully enclosed 30×41 shop can push past $20,000. Here are the four legitimate ways to pay for one — we’ll quote all of them on the same email and let you decide.

1. Cash or card (best price)

Pay cash and we discount 3–5% off the financed price. On a $6,800 carport that’s $200–$340 back in your pocket. Card payments accepted up to $10,000 (2.9% processor fee passed through).

2. Traditional financing

Three lender partners specializing in outdoor structures & ag buildings. APR range 7.49%–17.99%, terms 24–120 months, soft credit pull for pre-qualification. Same-day approval. Lender pays us at completion.

3. Rent-to-own (no credit check)

No credit check. Approval based on ID + verifiable monthly income, under 10 minutes. Down payment is first month + one-month security deposit. 36/48/60-month terms, you own it outright at the end. Total cost runs ~1.6–1.9× cash price.

4. Split-pay (half now, half on install)

Waiting on a tax refund, hay check, or royalty deposit? Split into two payments — half down to lock production, balance the day the crew rolls off your property. No interest. Max project size $12,000.

Warranty & certifications

Three layers of coverage, in plain English

Every Enid build carries frame, panel, and workmanship warranties, with optional engineer certification for permits or insurance.

Frame warranty

20 years

Every leg, rafter, brace, and purlin warranted against rust-through and structural failure for 20 years from install. Hot-dipped galvanized 14-ga steel standard, 12-ga upgrade available. G90 zinc spec (0.90 oz/sq ft both sides) — the agricultural building workhorse standard.

Panel warranty

10 years

29-ga sheet panels carry a 10-year manufacturer warranty against fade, chalk, and chip-through. Silicone-modified polyester paint over galvalume substrate — the same material on most commercial pole barns across Oklahoma. 26-ga upgrade extends panel warranty to 20 years (+8–12% panel-line cost).

Workmanship

1 year

Anything our crew installs is warranted for 12 months from completion. Loose bolts, misaligned panels, leaks at penetrations, anchor failure on level ground — we come back and fix it on our dime. Most claims hit in the first 90 days, almost always after the first big windstorm.

Engineer certification (optional)

For buyers who need stamped drawings — typically those building inside Enid city limits, financing through a bank that requires it, or installing in flood-prone zones — we offer engineer-certified plans for an additional $375–$650 depending on building size. Certified buildings are engineered to specific wind and snow loads (standard for this part of Oklahoma is 90 MPH wind, 8 PSF snow; we can spec up to 140 MPH wind / 35 PSF snow). Stamp issued by a licensed Oklahoma PE and accepted by every Garfield County permit office we’ve worked with.

What is not covered: acts of God (tornadoes, hail over 1.5″, named storms), modifications by third parties, damage from impacts (tractors, livestock, vehicles), and rust from coastal salt exposure. Trim accessories (gable ends, ridge caps) are covered for 5 years rather than 10 because of the way the bend stresses the paint.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit for a metal carport in Enid or Garfield County?+
For most residential carports under 200 square feet inside Enid city limits, no permit is required, but anything larger or attached to an existing structure should be cleared with City Hall first. Garfield County generally does not require permits for ag-use carports on properties outside city limits, which covers most rural addresses we install at. We always recommend a quick call to the city clerk’s office if you’re inside the city, and we’ll provide stamped engineered drawings on certified units to make that conversation easy.
What about HOA approvals?+
Most older neighborhoods near Enid have very few HOAs, but if you’re in a newer subdivision or a neighborhood with covenants, check your CC&Rs before ordering. Most HOAs that do exist in this part of Oklahoma allow metal carports as long as the color matches the home and the structure is set behind the front building line. We can provide a color rendering and dimensioned site plan you can submit for board approval at no charge.
How do you anchor a carport on Oklahoma clay?+
Clay is friendly to work with as long as it’s not saturated. On bare ground we use 32-inch rebar anchors driven at opposing angles through the base rail, which gives excellent pull-out resistance once the clay sets back around them. On concrete pads we use 3/8-inch wedge anchors, and on asphalt we use mobile-home auger anchors. We adjust the anchor package based on what we see when our crew arrives.
Are these carports tornado-rated?+
No carport, ours or anyone else’s, is rated to survive a direct tornado strike. What our certified units are rated for is sustained wind loads up to 140 MPH and gusts associated with severe thunderstorms, which covers the vast majority of weather events Enid sees in a year. For maximum survivability, we recommend the 12-gauge frame, fully enclosed sides, and concrete anchoring.
How long does delivery to Enid take?+
Standard lead time from order to install in Enid is currently 3 to 5 weeks, with certified units running closer to 5 to 7 weeks because the engineered drawings have to be produced first. We schedule installs in geographic clusters, so if we already have a job booked nearby that week, we can sometimes move you up.
Concrete pad, gravel, or dirt — which do I need?+
All three work, and we install on all three regularly. Bare dirt is the cheapest and perfectly fine for vehicle storage; gravel is our most popular base because it drains well and stays cleaner; concrete is the premium choice and required if you ever want to fully enclose the structure later.
What colors can I choose?+
We offer 13 standard panel colors at no upcharge, including Barn Red, Burnished Slate, Pebble Beige, Quaker Gray, Ivory, Forest Green, Rustic Red, Black, White, Light Stone, Hawaiian Blue, Clay, and Galvalume bare metal. Roof and walls can be different colors, and trim can be a third color for a two-tone look.
Certified versus non-certified — what’s the difference?+
A certified unit comes with stamped engineered drawings showing it meets specific wind and snow load ratings for your county, and uses heavier anchoring and additional bracing to hit those numbers. If you need a permit, are in a windy exposed location, or want insurance to cover it as a permanent structure, get certified — typically a $300–$700 upcharge.
What’s the minimum credit score for financing?+
Our financing partner approves customers with scores as low as 600 for the standard program, and there is also a no-credit-check rent-to-own option that approves nearly everyone. Most customers see 24- to 60-month options with payments starting around $89/month on a basic carport.
How much deposit do I need?+
For cash orders we require a 10% deposit at signing, with the balance due the day of installation by check or card. For financed orders the deposit is typically zero down, and for rent-to-own the first month’s payment serves as your deposit. We do not ask for full payment up front under any circumstances.
How do warranty claims work?+
Our 20-year rust-through warranty on the panels is handled directly by the panel manufacturer with our help — you call us, we file the paperwork, and they ship replacement panels if there’s a manufacturing defect. The 1-year workmanship warranty on the install is handled by us in-house.
Can I move the carport to a new property later?+
Yes, our carports can be disassembled and relocated, and we offer that as a service for around $400–$900 depending on size and distance. The frame and panels are reusable; the anchors and any concrete work stay behind.
Can I add sides or fully enclose it later?+
Absolutely, and a lot of our Enid customers do exactly that. An open carport can be converted to a partially enclosed structure or a fully enclosed garage in a few hours, using the same color panels we originally installed.
Are there height restrictions near Vance AFB?+
Yes, properties under the Air Installation Compatible Use Zones have height limits and sometimes restrictions on reflective panel finishes. We check AICUZ overlay during the quote process and adjust panel color or peak height accordingly.
Can you build a carport big enough to cover a combine or grain truck?+
Absolutely. We do agricultural-scale carports and pole barns up to 60 feet wide and 16 feet tall at the eave. Common build for Garfield County wheat operations.
How does Enid wind affect carport pricing?+
Standard 90 mph rating is included. The 100 mph upgrade for exposed properties south or west of town runs about 10 to 15 percent more, mostly in heavier-gauge framing and additional anchors.

Reviews

What Enid neighbors are saying

4.9★ average across 120 Google reviews

★★★★★

“I called three companies about a metal garage for my tractor. Two of them quoted me higher and wanted six weeks just to get a stamped plan. Marcy had me a written quote the same afternoon and the crew was here 18 days later. Whole thing went up in a day and a half. The roll-up door tracks were a hair off when they finished — they came back the next Friday on their own and adjusted them, no charge, no argument.”

— Wade H., Garfield County · 24×31 enclosed garage

★★★★★

“Bought a small travel trailer last spring and needed something to keep the sun off it. I am on a fixed income, so the rent-to-own option was the only way I could swing it. The lady on the phone walked me through the whole thing twice without making me feel dumb for asking. The crew showed up at 7:45 a.m. like they said they would, and the foreman shook my hand before he left. Little things matter.”

— Linda R., Enid, OK · 20×21 single carport for RV

★★★★★

“Needed cover for round bales before fall cutting. Called several others — all of them wanted 8 to 10 weeks. Barn Brothers had it standing in 23 days flat. The crew showed up at 7 a.m., were eating lunch in the truck by noon, and packed up at 4. I have had it through one round of those April storms now and it has not creaked. Worth every dollar.”

— Cody M., Garfield County · 30×41 hay barn
