Carports and Awnings

Since 1994, Metalink has built steel carports and covers in Central Texas. We specialize in metal constructed awnings and covers for the commercial and residential markets. Our products are fabricated in order to ensure a custom fit for any area. We design and install multiple-use covers. If you’ve got an item or area that needs to be sheltered from the weather, we can build a cover for it.

Our structures are affordable and find a balance between strength, durability, beauty and functionality. Experience and long term results has demonstrated that our steel structures are the best protection against the severe storms and harsh climate we endure every year throughout our region. A steel structure is stronger than aluminum and more durable than wood. Combined with commercial grade roof panels, our structures are designed to provide decades of protection with very little maintenance.

The types of covers we build include carports (both single or multiple-bay), shade areas for playgrounds and schools, covered walkways, patio covers, equipment and machinery covers, awnings, large covers for loading docks, and the list goes on. If you need protection from the weather or want to protect your investment, give us a call or shoot us a request. We don’t sell or install the $500 kits you see along the roadside. Our covers are built to last; set deep in concrete footers or anchored with steel bolts to a slab.

Construction Details

We build solid steel based covers that are made to last. Our designs utilize galvanized steel in the posts and framework to provide you with many years of maintenance-free use. We’ve found that steel, being much stronger than wood or aluminum, is the ideal product to use in a storm-prone area like central Texas..

Our frames (trusses, posts, and gables) are fabricated using steel purlins, square tubing, and channel. The size and type of material depends entirely upon the size of the structure it will support. At our facility in South Austin, we have a fully equipped fabrication shop so are able to build any size frame or gable needed for your project. We use both red oxide and galvanized, with the latter being our most popular for good looks and rust resistance. We are also able to powder coat the frame to match the roof color.

Permits

Most structures located within city limits require some sort of permit. It varies from city to city, so please check your local planning and development center to ensure compliance.
