Meet the DIY Steel Secureport

Let’s face it — a regular carport is great for keeping your vehicle out of the rain or sun, but what if you need a bit more? Maybe a place to stash your tools, keep the bikes dry, or just store all that seasonal stuff that never fits in the house?

That’s where the DIY Steel Secureport comes in.

It’s a clever twist on the traditional straight-wall carport — one that gives you both covered parking and a secure, enclosed storage space. It’s practical, durable, and built to work hard, just like you do. And the best part? You can design one yourself in just minutes using our free online 3D Building Designer.

So, What Is a DIY Steel Secureport?

Think of it like this: take a steel carport with clean, straight walls, and then add a fully enclosed storage room on one end. That’s a DIY Steel Secureport. You still get that open-air protection for your vehicle, but now there’s a lockable space where you can keep tools, outdoor gear, or whatever else you don’t want lying around in the open.

It’s all one structure — compact, efficient, and designed for folks who need a bit more functionality from their outdoor shelter.

Why a DIY Steel Secureport Just Makes Sense

  • Two-in-One Convenience
    You get a spot to park your truck or SUV and a separate place to lock up your stuff. No need to pour another slab or find space for a shed somewhere else on your property.

  • Strong, Reliable Steel
    We’re talking all-galvanized steel here. It won’t rot, warp, or get chewed up by pests like wood can. It stands up to weather and time — no matter the season.

  • Low Fuss, Low Maintenance
    This isn’t something you’ll need to babysit. A quick rinse now and then and you’re good. No repainting, no shingle repairs, no nonsense.

  • You Build It Your Way
    With our 3D designer, you control the look and layout. Want the storage room on the left? Easy. Need space for two vehicles? No problem. Prefer a different color? Done. The straight-wall framing gives you the flexibility to customize the Secureport the way you want it.

Who’s Using Them?

  • Homeowners: Perfect if your garage is overflowing or you just need a bit of extra storage without committing to a whole new building.

  • Cottage Owners: Keep the ATVs, sleds, and boats covered — and lock up the gear at the end of the season.

  • Contractors or Small Business Owners: Park your work truck under the canopy and keep tools or materials safe in the back.

  • Acreage Owners: Keep equipment covered and small gear secured all in one spot.

It’s the kind of setup that works for just about anyone who needs a little extra space without a full-blown build. A DIY Steel Secureport just makes a lot of sense for many people!

Skip the Garage – Go Smarter Instead

Not everyone needs (or wants) to build a full garage. They take time, money, and permits — and they’re not always practical depending on your property.

A DIY Steel Secureport gives you the essentials: protection for your vehicle and a secure place to store what matters — without the big build or big budget.

Fast to Set Up, Built to Last

All of our DIY Steel Secureports are prefabricated and designed to go up quickly — with no surprises. They’re engineered to handle real-world conditions: snow loads, high winds, blazing sun. And if you’re a handy type, this is absolutely a DIY-friendly project. With a few tools and an extra set of hands, weekend installation is totally doable.

These Secureport designs work specifically with our straight-wall carports, making them easier to enclose, customize, and expand down the road if needed.
