CAROLINA CARPORT vs. VERSATUBE: Literally Side by Side -And the WINNER is?!?

A metal building is a big investment so you want to make the right choice. Here is my personal experiance with both companies, both metal buildings, both garage carports whatever you call them
Thinking about building a carport or metal structure? In this video we pit VersaTube and Carolina Carports head‑to‑head to see how each one stacks up when it comes to cost, ease/‐convenience of build, and construction style/quality. Whether you’re DIY‑ing a garage or hiring it out, you’ll get a clear breakdown of what to expect.

🎯 What You’ll Learn

Side‑by‑side cost comparisons: base kit price, installation/labor, upgrades

How quickly and easily each system goes up — DIY vs. professional install

Differences in framing, materials, roof/side styles and customization

Pros & cons of each brand: warranty, origins, delivery, support

What’s right for you: budget builder vs. full‑service turnkey

💡 Key Takeaways

The VersaTube kit is marketed as a true DIY kit (pre‑cut/pre‑drilled, shipped to your site) with a “Slip‑Fit” frame system that claims fast assembly.

Carolina Carports emphasizes full customer service, delivery, free leveling foundation delivery (in many areas), rent‑to‑own/financing options and custom builds.
Sample pricing: a Carolina Carports metal building starts “at” the ~$1,300 range for basic carports.
The Carport Co.

Meanwhile VersaTube kits (for example a 12′×20′×10′) are listed around ~$2,000+ depending on size & features.

Material & build specs matter: VersaTube uses 2″×3″ galvanized tubing, 29‑gauge steel paneling, 20‑year limited frame & paint warranty.

Carolina Carports uses 14‑ga/12‑ga steel framing options, 29‑ga steel exterior, custom options, and high wind/snow load certification.

Convenience factors: If you are comfortable doing most of the build yourself, a kit like VersaTube may save money. If you’d rather have a turnkey solution with the company handling delivery, permitting, installation and you focus on foundation and interior, Carolina Carports may offer more convenience.
