What Size Carport Do I Need?

Determining the Right Size for Your Carport

Choosing the correct size for your carport depends on several factors, including the number and size of vehicles you need to shelter and how you plan to use the additional space. Whether you’re considering a standard 2-car carport or a larger structure to accommodate an RV or multiple vehicles, Top Steel Shed has the perfect solution for you.

Consider Vehicle Sizes

It’s essential to account for the size of your vehicles when choosing a carport:

 

Compact Cars

A single-car carport with a width of 12 feet is typically sufficient.

Sedans and SUVs

A 20-24 feet wide carport provides ample space for two vehicles with room for storage and movement.

Large SUVs and Trucks

Opt for a 30-foot wide carport to comfortably accommodate larger vehicles and additional storage.

Recreational Vehicles (RVs)

For RVs or multiple large vehicles, a 40-60 feet wide carport offers the necessary space and flexibility.

Additional Storage Space

If you plan to use your carport for more than just vehicle storage, consider sizing up:

  • 2 ½-Car Carport: Ideal for storing two cars and additional items like bicycles, tools, or garden equipment.
  • Custom Dimensions: For specific storage needs, Top Steel Shed offers customizable sizes to ensure your structure meets all your requirements.

Example Calculation

If you’re looking to buy a 12-foot-wide boxed-eave or vertical-roof carport with 12-foot legs to store your RV, the clearance in the middle of the carport will be 13’7” (1’7” taller than the leg height). Ensure you leave some extra room for ample clearance and ease of access.

Frequently Asked Questions

For a single car, a standard carport size is 12′ x 20′. However, if you have a larger vehicle like a truck or SUV, you might want to consider a slightly wider option, such as 12′ x 24′, to ensure you have enough room for easy access.

A typical carport for two cars ranges from 20′ x 20′ to 24′ x 25′. The size you choose depends on the size of your vehicles and how much extra space you want for maneuverability or storage.

Yes, at Top Steel Shed, we offer custom sizes for your carport. You can select the width, length, and height that best fits your specific needs. Our team will help you design the perfect carport for your property.

An RV typically requires a larger carport, with a standard size being 18′ x 35′. However, depending on the size of your RV, you may need a custom height and length to ensure proper coverage and protection.

We recommend leaving at least three feet of space on all sides of the carport for safe installation. This extra space helps the installation team properly position and secure your carport.

Absolutely! You can customize the height of your carport to accommodate taller vehicles such as trucks, RVs, or boats. Let us know the height of your vehicle, and we’ll ensure your carport is built to fit.

If you need extra storage, you may want to size up. For example, a 2 ½-car carport will give you more room for storing tools, outdoor equipment, or other items alongside your vehicles.

Planning for future needs is always a smart idea. If you anticipate adding more vehicles or equipment, choosing a larger carport now can save you the hassle of upgrading later.
