Affiliate Disclosure
Published and maintained by the CarportBay Editorial Team. Last updated .
CarportBay is an independent carport buying-research publisher. We also earn compensation in two ways, and we want you to know exactly how before you click anything on this site.
Affiliate Links
Some links on this site go to Amazon, Wayfair, or The RTA Store. We earn a commission if you buy through those links, at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate, CarportBay earns from qualifying purchases.
Quote-Request Referrals
If you submit a quote-request form on this site, we may receive compensation when you are connected with a service provider. The partners we currently work with this way are:
- Home Depot Installation Leads (via the Impact network)
- Modernize
- Angi/HomeAdvisor (via the Commission Junction network)
Modernize and Angi/HomeAdvisor each work with a network of contractors, so a request you submit may be passed along to a contractor in that network rather than handled directly by Modernize or Angi/HomeAdvisor itself. By submitting the form, you agree to be contacted by the named partner, and a contractor in their network, about your request.
Why We Disclose This
The Federal Trade Commission requires that any "material connection," meaning any payment, commission, or other benefit tied to a recommendation, be disclosed clearly and placed close to the recommendation it covers. That is why you will see a short reminder of these relationships directly on pages with affiliate links or the quote-request form, not only here.
Where You'll See These Disclosures
Buying-guide and comparison pages that include an affiliate link carry a disclosure near the first product comparison, with a short reminder repeated near any additional product block further down the page. Any page carrying the quote-request form shows a compensation notice directly above the form fields. This page is the full explanation those shorter, in-context notices point back to.
If We Add Display Advertising
CarportBay does not currently run display advertising. If we add it in the future (for example, through Google AdSense), this page and our Privacy Policy will be updated before that advertising goes live. Advertising and partnership inquiries go through Advertise With Us.
This Never Changes Our Comparisons
None of these relationships change what we write. CarportBay compares carports across manufacturers, materials, and installers on their merits, and no partner pays for better placement in our comparison content. The limits of the information on this site are covered in our Disclaimer. If you submit a quote-request form and want to opt out of the sharing described above, use Do Not Sell or Share My Info. The Terms of Use cover the consent you give when you submit that form.
