Why Back-Pull
No front posts in your way
A standard post-on-both-sides carport boxes the vehicle in. The back-pull cantilever design moves the structure out of your path, which is the whole reason people choose it.
Open front and side
The roof cantilevers from rear-mounted posts, leaving the entry and door-swing side free of obstructions.
Aluminum that won't rust
Marine-grade aluminum framing with stainless fasteners — no rust streaks, no annual repainting, unlike galvanized steel.
Bolt-together kit
Parts arrive pre-cut and pre-drilled with labeled hardware and instructions, so a competent DIYer can assemble it with common tools.
Is It For You
Single back-pull vs. standard single carport
| What matters | Back-pull single | Standard single |
|---|---|---|
| Front posts | None — fully open entry | Posts on both front corners |
| Door-swing clearance | Open on the post-free side | Limited by side posts |
| Best for | Tight driveways, daily in-and-out | Open lots with room to spare |
| Frame | Aluminum, powder-coated | Aluminum, powder-coated |
| Warranty | 10-year structural | 10-year structural |
Both designs use the same aluminum frame and finish — the difference is purely where the posts sit and how much room you get around the vehicle. If you want the same rust-free reasoning behind aluminum over steel spelled out, read our aluminum vs. steel carport comparison.
Before You Order
Sizing and install notes
Measure the parking footprint plus the door-swing room you want on the open side, then confirm the kit's clear width and height fit your vehicle. Most single kits anchor to a concrete pad; some sites use ground anchors. Carports are permanent structures in many jurisdictions, so check with your local building department for permit and setback rules before you pour or anchor. Our carport installation guides walk through anchoring, hardware, and the assembly sequence step by step.
FAQ
Back-pull single carport questions
What does "back-pull cantilever" actually mean?
It means the support posts sit at the rear of the carport and the roof beam reaches forward over the parking bay without front posts. The structural load is "pulled back" to those rear posts, so the front and one side of the bay stay completely open.
How is this different from a standard single carport?
A standard single carport has posts on both sides of the vehicle. The back-pull design removes the front and parking-side posts, giving you a clear entry and full door-swing room. The frame material, finish, and 10-year structural warranty are the same — only the post layout changes.
Do I need a permit to install one?
Often yes. A carport is a permanent structure in many areas and may require a building permit, anchoring inspection, or setback compliance. Rules vary widely by city and county, so check with your local building department before you order or pour a pad.
Is the kit hard to assemble myself?
The kit ships pre-cut and pre-drilled with labeled hardware and instructions, so a confident DIYer with common tools and a helper can assemble it. The rear-post cantilever does need the posts and footing anchored correctly — our installation guides cover that, and you can hire a local contractor for the anchoring if you prefer.
What warranty comes with it?
Every aluminum carport kit carries a 10-year structural warranty. The marine-grade aluminum frame, stainless fasteners, and powder-coated finish are built to resist rust and corrosion in sun, rain, and snow. See our warranty page for full coverage details.
Let customers speak for us
Absolutely love this 2-car retractable shelter! The modern frame matches our home perfectly. It provides premium, all-weather defense for our cars and can be collapsed in seconds when we want an open yard for weekend BBQs. If you need a double garage but want flexibility, this kit is the only way to go!
With two SUVs in the family, our driveway always felt cluttered, and building a permanent double garage was just too expensive. This retractable double carport kit is an absolute game-changer. The 6.6m width is incredibly spacious—we can park both large vehicles side-by-side and still fully open our car doors without any issues. But the best part? When the cars are out, we fold it back, and our kids have the whole open driveway to play on. Pure genius design!
I wanted a garage for my new car but my HOA has ridiculously strict rules about permanent structures, and a traditional garage would cost a fortune. This retractable single carport kit is the perfect loophole and solution! When my car is out, I just slide it back, and my driveway looks completely open. The manual telescopic system is incredibly smooth—I can open or close it by myself in less than a minute. Highly recommend the Grey frame, it looks very modern!
Love, love, love our new retractable sunroom! It connects seamlessly to our house wall and looks like a natural extension of the architecture. The transparency is amazing, giving us unobstructed views of the garden while keeping the wind out when closed. It’s smooth to operate, keeps the bugs away, and our guests are always asking where we got it. Highly recommend!
We’ve had this white double M-carport up for a few months now, and it has already survived a couple of heavy rainstorms and strong winds. The structure feels incredibly sturdy, and the white coating hasn't chipped or stained at all. It keeps our cars cool during hot sunny days too. Definitely worth the investment.
The service is excellent; they provide a free 3D rendering design upfront.
The carport arrived sooner than expected and was packaged incredibly well—no scratches or missing pieces. Customer service was also super helpful when I called to double-check dimensions before ordering.
I was skeptical about a double carport with only back-pull supports, but the engineering on this structure is incredible. It feels rock-solid and has already handled heavy winds and rain with zero issues. The back-pull design completely transforms the look of our driveway, making it look clean and uncluttered. It provides excellent shade and protection for both of our vehicles. Outstanding product!
I am extremely happy with this cantilever carport. The brown finish looks incredibly modern and blends perfectly with our home’s exterior. It provides excellent shelter, and the single-side post design makes parking a breeze. Highly recommended!
I am extremely impressed with this silver frame solar carport. The silver finish gives it a very modern, premium look that perfectly complements the house and vehicles. The aluminum frame is incredibly sturdy and weather-resistant. It not only protects my car from the elements but also generates clean energy efficiently. If you want a functional carport that also adds great curb appeal to your property, this is the one!
I already have a solar array on my main roof, but I needed a dedicated, high-quality shelter for my primary EV. This single solar carport was the absolute perfect solution.
The build quality is exceptional—heavy-duty aluminum frame, sleek profiles, and a very clean, modern design that looks like a natural extension of my home. What blew me away was how seamless the integration was. My electrician was able to easily route the power from the carport's solar roof straight into my existing home battery storage system. Now, this single carport acts as an extra power booster, keeping my home backup batteries fully topped off during the day while keeping my car 100% shaded and protected from the elements.
It is incredibly satisfying to see the entire ecosystem working together perfectly. If you already have home solar and want to maximize your clean energy production while protecting your vehicle, this single solar carport is an absolute no-brainer. Highly recommended!
Performance-wise, it’s a game-changer. The integrated high-efficiency solar panels look extremely sleek from below (no messy wiring visible) and have been consistently fully charging both of our cars with 100% clean, free solar energy. Any excess power goes straight into our home grid. It looks incredibly futuristic and premium in our driveway, and we’ve already had countless neighbors stopping by to admire it. If you have EVs and want a functional, eco-friendly, and ultra-modern patio/driveway cover, this is worth every single penny!
