These have gained more popularity than garages because of their increased durability, expandability, easy maintenance, low cost, neatness and good ventilation. Constructed from aluminium, carports are built to stand the test of time and generally last a lifetime. An avid do-it-yourself handyman can assemble these in a few days.

Over the years we have seen carports being used for many other things besides their original purpose: sheltering cars. The size of the carport can be adjusted based on the number of vehicles and size of the vehicles. Bigger carports can accommodate boats and RVs. Here in Florida some folks use carports to shelter their livestock too!
As carports are strongly secured into the ground, they can endure against a windy onslaught of high magnitudes. We will not tell you that they are hurricane proof, but they are built and constructed to stay put. The tops of our aluminum carports have been designed to survive rain, wind and rust. These carports are UV resistant, waterproof and rot proof. The Florida Sun still causes degradation in the paint of cars, making them lighter and gives the vehicle and headlights a dull look. Though vehicles these days are more water proof compared to earlier times, there is certainly the need to protect your valuable vehicles from degradation. We build customized carports to suit your requirements.
Aluminium carports vs. Canvas
Daly offers high quality aluminum carports. Aluminum carports last much longer when compared to canvas carports, which are made using polyethylene or polyester. These materials cost less in the beginning, but get worn out in due course, and they are likely to be required to be changed, unlike in case of metal carports. Aluminium carports are light weight and durable. Steel carports are also an option however in Florida they are not really necessary due to the fact we have no snow. Being harder, the steel can endure more fatigue and strain, compared to aluminium. These are certified to take the snow load of sixty lbs per squarefeet. They are quite strong and is rust resistant however not so useful here in Florida. Aluminum carports are the best choice and provide the most value for Florida homeowners.
