ᐅ Carport with a wide span without an additional central support post

Good morning,
I am currently looking into the topic of carports. Unfortunately, I haven’t found much information online; it seems that the usual carport manufacturers don't offer options for my needs.
What I require is a carport with a clear span of 7.2 meters (24 feet). Most common manufacturers only build up to 6 meters (20 feet).
I assume it will need to be a steel structure or a combination of wood and steel.
Do you know of any manufacturers that offer something like this? Visually, I would like to clad it with rhombus slats.

Our carport also spans 7m x 6.4m (23ft x 21ft). It’s made entirely of wood and has no central posts along the long side. The beams are quite substantial, but generally, a span over 7m (23ft) is not a problem.
We had it designed and installed by a local timber construction company (carpentry). If I were you, I’d find out who in your area could build something like this. That’s how it is—we also have a span well over 7m (23ft).

Thanks. Unfortunately, 7m (23 ft) is not enough; I can't get past the garage opening with that. I can’t follow this without images.
Carpenters usually have fewer problems with such lengths, and sawmills do as well. Trees naturally grow taller. With metal profiles over 6m (20 ft), you often face the issue that either the profile manufacturer no longer offers that length as standard stock and/or the processing machines like press brakes set limits. In other words, it’s usually not a structural issue but a restriction on the profile length as one piece. Without a middle post, it’s difficult to solve this with a splice.

Who built it, and could you give me a rough estimate of the price for a structure this size? A private message is fine.
