What Steel Tariffs Mean for You: Behind the Pricing and Value of Arrow Carports
April 08, 2025

In today’s unpredictable economy, it’s natural to have questions about pricing, where your products come from, and what kind of value you’re truly getting—especially when it comes to a big investment like a carport.

At Arrow, we believe in transparency, quality, and long-term reliability. That’s why we’re breaking down the key factors influencing our carport pricing—from steel tariffs and U.S. manufacturing to the real value of buying American-made.

Will tariffs on steel affect Arrow carport prices?

For the short foreseeable future, we plan to maintain our current carport prices. We have proactively prepared for potential market fluctuations by stocking a sufficient supply of steel. Additionally, we are transitioning to using exclusively U.S.-made steel. Unless there is a significant increase in domestic steel prices, we anticipate keeping our prices steady while ensuring high-quality products for our customers.

Where Are Arrow Carports Made?

All Arrow carports are manufactured in Breese, Illinois. While some components are sourced globally, our commitment to American craftsmanship remains strong. We strive to balance quality and cost-effectiveness while prioritizing U.S. labor and production whenever possible.

Our goal? Deliver a product that meets high standards, supports American jobs, and stands the test of time.

So, Are Arrow Carports Worth It?

It’s a question we’ve seen come up in Google, and we get it.

With ongoing trade tensions and market instability, choosing a well-built, locally made product matters more than ever. Arrow products have stood the test of time, with thousands of satisfied customers across generations. Unlike some competitors, we keep our manufacturing close to home to avoid overseas delays, keep costs predictable, and ensure quality control.

By focusing on U.S.-based production, we’re not just weathering global uncertainty—we’re creating stability for our customers, our employees, and our economy. It’s a difference you can feel in every Arrow carport.

Built to Last, Built for You

At the end of the day, our values guide everything we do: support U.S. workers, deliver dependable quality, and offer great value. That’s the Arrow promise—and we’re proud to keep it strong.
