Whether you’re new to the carport and shed market or a seasoned player in it, you’ve likely faced issues related to material quality, structural integrity and long-term durability. And if those weren’t enough roadblocks to success, most builders, dealers and contractors also encounter challenges around customization options, lead times and consistent product availability for their carport and shed projects. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
As we move into 2026, there are key factors to consider if you’re going to hit the mark on your projects in the coming year.
What do I need for carport and shed success in 2026?

Let’s take a look at one crucial ingredient you’ll want in your carport and shed designs to make sure your structures stand the test of time.
What benefits do I get from metal tubing in my custom carport and shed design?
When it comes to designing carports and sheds, metal tubing is a critical component for long-lasting protection. And by choosing precision-engineered galvanized steel tubing like we offer at ASTA, you’ll find 3 important benefits.
Exceptional Durability. With metal tubing, you get exceptional strength to withstand the heaviest of loads and harshest of environments.
By choosing ASTA 14-gauge galvanized steel tubing (with the option of 12-gauge), you get that and more because of our consistent quality. Every length of ASTA tubing is precision-engineered and quality checked to ensure strength, straightness and superior finish.
Low Maintenance. Metal requires minimal upkeep, which means it’s a more affordable option compared to other building materials over time. And it also means your carport or shed will maintain its structural integrity and appearance for decades.
For even greater durability, ASTA’s galvanized steel tubing is finished with advanced powder-coating systems that provide resistance to rust and corrosion, helping installers deliver long-lasting structures with minimal maintenance.
And ASTA’s extensive inventory of steel tubing is in stock and ready to ship, ensuring projects move forward without delay. Plus, you can count on quick turnaround times and reliable delivery or pickup options from our distribution centers strategically located across the U.S.
Metal Tubing Design Versatility. Because metal tubing provides such a reliable and sturdy framework and is flexible for cutting, bending and welding, you can customize it to meet your specific size and design needs.
With ASTA galvanized steel tubing, this means that builders and designers have the freedom to customize layouts, roof pitches and framing configurations for both residential and commercial applications. In combination with our consistent quality, available stock and speed of delivery, this means you can build to spec without waiting on materials.
