Two Decades of Building Trust Across America
Steel and Stud, a division of Carports and More Inc., has been delivering factory-direct prefabricated metal buildings with transparent, all-inclusive pricing since 2004. Serving homeowners, ranchers, builders and businesses across all 48 contiguous states.
From a Single Carport to America's Metal Building Authority
Two decades of growth, innovation and unwavering commitment to factory-direct pricing and professional installation across 48 states.
The Beginning — A Simple Mission
Steel and Stud launched as a division of Carports and More Inc. in Northern California with a single product line — metal carports — and one straightforward goal: deliver factory-direct metal buildings with transparent, all-inclusive pricing.
Expanding the Product Line
Customer demand drove rapid expansion into enclosed steel garages, agricultural barns, RV covers, and portable buildings. Our coverage expanded to serve every climate zone and local building code requirement across the contiguous United States.
Materials & Technology
We launched the cold-formed steel building materials division — purlins, girts, panels, standing seam, and insulated metal panels for builders and construction professionals. The interactive 3D building designer went live, letting customers visualize and price their structures in real time.
20 Years — Stronger Than Ever
Celebrating two decades with 15,000+ buildings installed, full 48-state coverage, a 4.8-star rating across 2,847 verified reviews, and the most comprehensive prefabricated steel building catalog in the country. Flexible financing and rent-to-own options make ownership accessible to every budget.
What Drives Everything We Do
Our mission is simple: deliver factory-direct prefabricated steel structures with transparent pricing and professional installation, backed by warranties that outlast the competition.
Factory-Direct Pricing
Transparent, all-inclusive pricing on every prefabricated metal building. What we quote is what you pay — no hidden fees, no surprises.
Free Delivery & Installation
Every tubular steel order includes free delivery and professional crew installation across all 48 contiguous states. One team handles everything from factory to your finished building.
20-Year Warranty
Our 12-gauge (2.5mm) steel frames carry a 20-year limited rust-through warranty. Galvanized and powder-coated finishes provide additional corrosion resistance for decades of protection.
Engineered for Your Climate
Every structure is matched to your climate zone, local building codes and wind/snow load requirements — not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Flexible Financing & RTO
Standard payment with balance after install, monthly financing from $89/mo, or rent-to-own from $49/mo with no credit check. Three paths to ownership, zero prepayment penalty.
Nationwide 48-State Coverage
From Maine to California, we serve homeowners, ranchers, builders and businesses across every contiguous state with consistent pricing, quality and professional installation.

Operating as Carports and More Inc., we are one of the nation’s longest-running independent dealers of prefabricated metal structures. Over 15,000 buildings delivered to homeowners, farmers, ranchers, businesses, churches and institutions across the United States.
Delivery & Professional Installation on Tubular Orders
Every tubular steel order includes delivery and certified crew installation across all 48 contiguous states. No hidden fees, no contractor coordination - one team handles everything from factory to your finished building.
Low Deposit - Pay Balance Only After Installation
Secure your building with a deposit that scales to your project scope - zero risk. Your remaining balance is due only after installation is complete and you are satisfied. Monthly financing and rent-to-own options also available.
20-Year Rust-Through Warranty on 12-Gauge Frames
Our 12-gauge (2.5mm) steel frames carry a 20-year limited rust-through warranty. Galvanized or powder-coated finishes provide additional corrosion resistance. All buildings engineered for local wind speed and snow load certifications.
Fully Customizable with 3D Design Tools
Real-time 3D configurator for size, roof style, 16 color options, frame gauge, doors, windows, lean-to additions, insulation and accessories. For complex commercial projects, our engineering team provides custom CAD drawings.
Rapid Installation, Durable & Zero Maintenance
Prefabricated steel buildings install in 1 to 3 days, not weeks. Termite-proof, fire-resistant and engineered to withstand 150+ mph winds. Steel will not rot, warp, crack or require painting like wood structures.
Verified Reviews from Metal Building Owners
Homeowners, ranchers, builders and commercial property owners share their real experience with Steel and Stud metal buildings, carports and steel garages.
"I needed a large, tall carport to protect my camping trailer in the Texas Panhandle. Bill was patient and very thorough. Three years later, after 80 mph winds collapsed it, Bill stayed in touch the whole way through the rebuild — even after warranty. No one is more customer-friendly."
Heavy-Duty Carport"I ordered two carports for the Healthy Schools Healthy Communities grant in Cabool, MO. Bill went above and beyond — thorough on every detail, called me right back, walked me through the whole order. He even followed up on instructions for the slab pour."
Metal Carports"Can't ask for any better service. Early install, on time per schedule, efficient and very speedy. Installers didn't stop until completed. No hype sale — we received exactly what we ordered."
