OUR STORY

Building Excellence Since 1983

Founded in 1983 by John Gort, Gort Metals Corporation is a trusted leader in the design and fabrication of custom carports, steel canopies, and solar structures. For more than four decades, we have partnered with many of the Southwest’s largest contractors to deliver engineered solutions that protect vehicles, enhance properties, and perform reliably in some of the most demanding environments.

Every Gort Metals structure is purpose-built with precision, combining durable materials, thoughtful engineering, and strict adherence to local and national building codes. Our designs are tailored to each project’s specific requirements, accounting for wind loads, environmental conditions, and long-term performance—while offering optional dual-purpose solutions that provide both shade and sustainable energy generation.

Serving clients throughout the Southwest, Gort Metals has earned a reputation for reliability, quality craftsmanship, and cost-effective solutions. From concept through fabrication, we partner closely with our customers to deliver structures they can trust—built to last, built to perform, and backed by decades of proven experience.
