Citrus County carports
Shopping for Citrus County carports that can handle Nature Coast storms? We design, permit and install steel carports, boat covers, metal garages, RV covers and clear-span buildings from Crystal River and Homosassa to Inverness and Citrus Springs. In addition, every building is engineered for the design wind speed at your address, and across Florida those speeds run from about 115 to 170 mph.
We install in every Florida county except Miami-Dade and Broward, and permitting assistance is included with every order. To get started, compare our installed price charts, check standard carport sizes or read the metal garage buyer’s guide.
Popular in Citrus County
From two-car carports in Beverly Hills to boat covers in Homosassa and Crystal River, these are the buildings Citrus County owners ask for most.
Above all, shade and storm protection for cars, trucks and golf carts.
For example, extra length for flats boats and pontoons on the Homosassa and Crystal rivers and the Tsala Apopka chain.
Plus equipment and hay buildings for acreage around Lecanto, Floral City and Hernando.
Fully enclosed, and also fitted with wind-rated roll-up doors.
Similarly, 32′ to 60′ wide buildings for contractors, fleets and storage.
Built for the Nature Coast
Citrus County runs from Gulf coast rivers and springs to lakes and rural acreage inland. As a result, owners deal with hurricane winds, coastal flood zones and heavy summer rain.
Our Citrus County recommendation
In our experience, this setup holds up best to Florida storms and summer downpours. It is also what plan reviewers expect to see on the drawings.
