Bought a VEVOR carport on Amazon and realised assembly isn't in the box? We install them. Flat pricing by size, no brand surcharge.
VEVOR is an online-only retailer pushing consumer-grade carports and shelters at the lowest price point on the Canadian market. The frames are usable, the 180–250 gsm PE covers run a tier below domestic kits, and replacement parts are a slow boat from overseas. We install the bigger shelters at our flat rate; the small carports are usually cheaper to put up yourself.
VEVOR sells carports, hoop shelters, and small commercial covers through Amazon, Walmart, and their own site. The pricing is aggressive — frequently 30–50% below what a Canadian-built equivalent costs — and the lineup spans everything from a 10'×20' driveway carport to 30-foot-wide hoop shelters branded as "heavy-duty commercial." What you don't get from VEVOR is a phone number for assembly help, a Canadian warehouse for replacement parts, or a clear chain of accountability if hardware shows up wrong.
That last part is the gap we fill. A customer drops $1,200 on Amazon for a 20-wide shelter, the box arrives, they open it, they see twelve bundles of mystery hardware and a four-page instruction sheet, and they pick up the phone. We've put up enough VEVOR kits to know what's in the box before it's open. Pricing is flat by footprint, identical to the canonical table on our homepage. No brand surcharge.
Yes — every size we've seen on the Canadian VEVOR catalogue. The carports under 20 feet wide we put up as same-day jobs; anything 20-wide or larger uses the published pricing on our homepage table.
We're brand-agnostic by policy. A customer who bought a VEVOR shelter at a Walmart clearance pays the same crew rate as someone who bought a Cover-Tech kit straight from the dealer. Same footprint, same crew day, same number on the invoice. The brand on the crate doesn't change what we charge.
Across the dozen-plus VEVOR kits we've assembled, the bones are consistent:
Three patterns we've learned to plan around:
Flat rate by size, identical to every other brand. The most common VEVOR sizes that fall within our published table:
| Size | Install price |
|---|---|
| 20'×40' | $4,888 |
| 30'×40' | $6,888 |
| 30'×60' | $9,888 |
| 40'×60' | $10,888 |
| 40'×80' | $11,888 |
Smaller VEVOR carports (10×20, 12×20, 13×20) sit below the table; we quote those at a same-day flat rate based on crew time. Installation covers full crew, frame assembly, fabric tensioning, doors, and anchoring to your prepared foundation. Equipment (manlifts), travel beyond same-day Alberta drives, and crew lodging on multi-day builds are billed through at cost — no markup. The full install-cost guide walks through every size.
VEVOR kits go up faster than the heavier Canadian brands because the components weigh less. The trade-off is more time spent on tensioning and anchoring to compensate for thinner fabric and lighter ground hardware.
The install-day expectations post covers the full crew briefing.
Honest answer with two sides. For the small carports — 10'×20', 12'×20' — paying us costs more than the kit itself, and the assembly is genuinely a weekend job for two people. We'll do it if you ask, but you'd be better served by an afternoon and a friend.
For anything 20 feet wide and up, the answer flips. Bigger VEVOR shelters have enough hardware count, fabric weight, and tensioning complexity that a wrong move on day one costs you years of cover life. A crew that's seen the same kit a dozen times will get the geometry square, the cover even, and the anchoring rated for our wind. The flat install rate is a fraction of what a botched DIY costs you over the building's life.
If you're choosing between a VEVOR commercial shelter and a heavier Canadian-built kit — Cover-Tech, North Country, Gold Mountain — the upcharge to a Canadian brand buys you thicker fabric, heavier steel, and parts you can replace inside two weeks instead of two months. We install all of them at the same flat rate; the difference is in the kit.

Same pricing applies regardless of brand. Find your size, that's your price.
Yes. We install every VEVOR carport and shelter size we've seen, whether you bought it on Amazon, Walmart, or vevor.com. VEVOR is online-only with no install service of their own — that's where we come in. Same flat-rate pricing as every other brand we install.
Flat rate by footprint, not by brand. The full pricing table sits on our homepage — every size from 20'×40' up to 70'×200'. Most VEVOR kits are smaller carports in the 10–20 foot range; for those we quote a same-day rate based on crew time, since they fall below the table. Bigger VEVOR commercial shelters use the published pricing. Installation covers full crew, frame assembly, fabric tensioning, doors, and anchoring to your prepared foundation.
Small VEVOR carports (10×20, 12×20) we put up in 4–6 hours with a 2-person crew. The 20-wide and 30-wide commercial shelters run 1–2 days. The kits themselves go up faster than the bigger Canadian-built brands because the components are lighter — but the trade-off is more shimming and more attention during fabric tensioning to keep things square.
A level pad sized to the building footprint plus a 2-foot working perimeter. Compacted gravel is best; concrete or packed earth works for the smaller carports. All boxes opened and the parts laid out under cover the day before — VEVOR ships in flat cardboard cartons that turn to mush in a sudden rain. Vehicle access for a 1-ton truck. Power and water are nice but not required.
Three things, in order of how often they show up. First, missing or wrong-sized hardware — VEVOR ships from overseas warehouses and replacement bolts can be a 3-week wait, so we carry a backup hardware tray and substitute on the spot. Second, fabric panels that ship a touch undersized; on the larger kits we plan a slow tension pass over two days rather than one. Third, anchor sleeves that aren't rated for Prairie wind loads — we upgrade to 24-inch helical or rebar anchors as a default, billed through at cost.
For the 10-by and 12-by carports, no — those are designed for two people and an afternoon, and paying a crew costs more than the kit. For anything 20-foot wide and up, yes. The bigger VEVOR shelters have enough hardware count and fabric area that a crew save you a weekend and ensure the cover gets tensioned properly. Realistic life on VEVOR's 180–250 gsm PE fabric is 3–6 years on the Prairies before UV degrades it; the frame holds longer if anchored correctly.
