Get the best of both worlds with a metal combo unit that gives you open‑air parking and secure enclosed storage under one roof. Combo units are ideal when you need to protect vehicles, tools, and equipment—but don’t want the cost or complexity of a full garage or separate storage building.
Whether you’re parking daily drivers, storing lawn equipment, or needing a flexible space for hobbies and projects, we’ll help you design a combo unit that’s the right size, layout, and style for your property.
What Is a Metal Combo Unit?
A combo unit combines an open carport-style shelter with an enclosed storage room or mini‑garage. On one side, you get easy‑access covered parking; on the other, a lockable space for things you don’t want exposed to weather or visible from the street.
Common uses include:
- Parking for cars, trucks, or SUVs with attached storage
- RV or boat cover with gear and equipment room
- Lawn and garden equipment storage plus vehicle cover
- Hobby, workshop, or project space with shaded parking
- Farm and ranch equipment storage with open loading area
Because everything is integrated into a single metal structure, combo units are efficient to build, easy to maintain, and look clean and organized on your property.
Combo Unit Layout Options
Single‑Bay Combo Units
A simple, efficient layout with one covered parking bay and one enclosed storage room. Ideal for homeowners who want a spot for one vehicle plus a secure place for tools, bikes, or seasonal items.
Multi‑Bay Combo Units
Need more room? Choose a double‑ or triple‑bay combo unit for multiple vehicles, side‑by‑sides, trailers, or a mix of equipment. Enclosed space can span the full width or just a portion—totally customizable.
RV & Boat Combo Units
Tall, deep carport bays for RVs, campers, and boats with an attached storage area for hoses, power cords, outdoor furniture, fishing gear, and maintenance supplies. Keeps everything together, protected, and ready to go.
Workshop + Carport Combos
Create a small shop or hobby room with open parking beside it. Use the enclosed space for tools, benches, and projects, while the covered bay becomes a staging, work, or parking area.
Farm & Equipment Combo Units
Cover tractors, ATVs, and implements with a dedicated enclosed space for parts, fuel, fencing, and feed. Open sides make loading and unloading easy, while the storage room keeps critical items dry and secure.

Combo Unit FAQs
How big should my combo unit be?
Start by listing what you need to park and store—vehicles, equipment, and anything you may add in the future. We’ll help you choose the right width, length, and height so everything fits comfortably with room to move and grow.
Can I add doors and windows where I want them?
Yes. The enclosed portion of your combo unit can include roll‑up or overhead doors, walk‑doors, and windows placed where they make the most sense for how you’ll use the space.
Do I need a concrete slab for a combo unit?
A concrete slab is strongly recommended for the enclosed storage area and for most vehicle bays, especially if you’ll be rolling equipment or using it as a workspace. We can discuss slab sizes and options based on your site and budget.
Will I need a building permit?
Permit requirements vary by location and by size of structure. Many combo units do require permitting. We can provide building specifications and help you understand what’s typically needed in your area.
How long does installation take?
Once your site is prepared and materials are scheduled, most standard combo units install in a few days. Larger, more complex layouts may take longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline with your quote.
