Profiled sheet metal for canopy and garage is the easy way to protect your car and yard without unnecessary complications.
Sheet metal for canopies and garages provides a strong, light, and cost-effective structure that is installed quickly and looks neat next to the house.
In this text, we will go through choosing a profile, thickness, color, approximate prices, what roofing materials and accessories to combine, and how to plan a canopy or garage that will serve you for a long time.
Summary: what you need to know briefly
- For canopies and garages, trapezoidal profiled sheet metal with a low or medium profile is most commonly used.
- Thicknesses around 0.4–0.6 mm provide a good balance between price and durability for light structures.
- The price depends on the profile, coating, thickness, and length of the sheets.
- It is good for the canopy to be finished with gutters, a drainage system, and proper fasteners.
- You can combine the sheet metal with wood material, OSB boards, and facade panels for a more finished look.
Advantages of profiled sheet metal for canopies and garages
When planning a simple canopy next to the house or a separate garage, the most important thing is that the roof is light, durable, and can be installed without unnecessary complications.
That is exactly why profiled sheet metal and trapezoidal roofing sheets are so often chosen for canopies, open parking spaces, and metal garages.
The material is light, which spares the structure and allows stepping on a lighter supporting system of wooden beams and metal profiles.
At the same time, reliable coatings protect the sheet metal from corrosion and give a clean look that matches well with facade cladding.
If you want to look at ready-made solutions, see the category Profiled sheet metal, where there are different profiles and coatings for roof and facade.
Sheet metal for canopy: when is it most practical
For an open canopy in front of a house, a wood canopy, or parking in front of the block, sheet metal provides a stable roof at a relatively low investment.
It doesn't weigh like concrete or ceramic tiles and doesn't load the supporting structure as much, which is important for longer spans.
Customers often ask in a voice search style: "What sheet metal should I choose for a canopy?"
Answer. In most cases, trapezoidal profiled sheet metal with a low or medium profile and suitable thickness is completely sufficient for a canopy over a yard, car, or garden equipment.
Sheet metal for garage: roof and walls
For a metal garage, you can use the same type of roof sheet metal for the walls as well, to make the object visually whole.
This way you easily combine roof and facade, and the profile of the sheet metal creates rhythm and looks neat.
If you want a more enclosed and warm garage, combine the roof sheet metal with insulated Thermopanels for the walls or facade claddings.
For additional facade design, you can also check out Facade panels, especially if you want a more finished exterior look towards the street.
Profile selection: low, medium, or high
Key question - Which profile is good for a shed or garage? and this is often asked exactly like this to voice assistants.
For small sheds and garages with more frequent supports, usually a low or medium profile is used, which is sufficiently durable and economical.
Trapezoidal profiled sheet metal for sheds and garages
The trapezoidal sheet metal distributes the load along the wave and holds securely even in stronger wind, provided the structure is properly executed.
The higher profile provides greater load-bearing capacity at larger distances between the beams, while the lower one is sufficient for a dense lattice.
For longer sheds and garages, you can also consider solutions with High-profile sheet metal, especially if the shed covers more cars or equipment.
Combination with wooden structure
Most often, profiled sheet metal is mounted on a wooden structure made of beams, battens, and boards.
This way you can easily adjust the distances and slope of the shed according to the terrain.
For this part of the project, you need categories like Wood material, Beams, Battens and Boards, so the sheet metal rests calmly and evenly.
If you want a more stable base under the sheet metal, especially with a smaller slope, OSB boards are often used, on which the profiled sheet metal is fastened with suitable fasteners.
Sheet metal thickness and durability
After the profile comes the logical question: "What thickness of sheet metal for canopy is okay?"
Answer. In practice, for canopies and garages, thicknesses in the range of 0.4–0.6 mm are often used, with denser sheets providing more security under load and longer spans.
Balance between price and durability
Thicker sheet metal is heavier and more expensive, but feels more stable in rain and wind.
Thinner is lighter and more budget-friendly, but more sensitive to mechanical impacts.
Therefore, it is good to look at different options in the categories Roof sheet metal and Profiled sheet metal, to see how the price changes according to thickness and coating.
Fasteners and details
A good construction does not end with just choosing the sheets.
You also need the right screws with washers, seals, and peripheral claddings to prevent unpleasant leaks at the seams.
For this, check out Fasteners, as well as the claddings and gutters in the categories Classic gutter system and Seamless gutters, to properly channel the water from the canopy or garage.
Prices of profiled sheet metal for canopy and garage
The price of profiled sheet metal for canopy and garage depends on several main factors.
The profile, thickness, type of coating, length of sheets, and total area have the strongest impact on the final budget.
What affects the price in real conditions
- Profile height – a higher profile usually has a slightly higher price but better load-bearing capacity.
- Standard glossy coating, matte or textured coating with higher resistance to fading.
- Thickness – thicker sheets increase cost but help with more stability.
- Color – popular standard colors are often more affordable than more specific shades.
- Additional accessories – claddings, gutters, fasteners, and drainage add value but save problems later.
If you want a more accurate idea of "profiled sheet metal price for canopy", it is best to calculate the area and send an inquiry with the dimensions.
This way you get an offer that realistically matches your canopy or garage, not just sample values.
Transport and installation to the site
For canopies and garages, it is important not only what you buy but also how it gets to the site and who installs it.
You can rely on specialized delivery to your address in Sofia and all over Bulgaria – directly from the factory for larger orders, with a transport company for smaller quantities, or via courier like Econt and Speedy depending on what is most convenient for you, with LATIVA also offering consultation and professional installation of the roofing covering if needed.

Practical questions and voice requests for canopies and garages
Many people search for "sheet metal for canopy price", "which sheet metal to choose for garage" or "how much does a canopy with profiled sheet metal cost".
These questions are completely normal because the canopy is often the first serious construction project in the yard.
Question? "Which profiled sheet metal is suitable for a canopy in front of a garage or house?"
Answer. Look for a trapezoidal profile with suitable height according to the distances between supports and slope, with a thickness that gives you peace of mind during rain and wind.
Question? "Are gutters necessary for a small canopy?"
Answer. To prevent water from running down the garage walls or pathway, it is wise to add downspouts and check the solutions in Downspout System or Seamless Gutters.
If the canopy extends to the house roof or you plan a more serious expansion, it may be appropriate to also check the services for Roof Repair to avoid conflict between the old and new roof.
