Our best-selling aluminum carport & patio kits

These are the structures our customers order most: factory-direct aluminum carport kits, patio covers, awnings, and enclosures that arrive pre-cut, pre-drilled, and ready to bolt together. They sell because the sizes fit the most common American driveways, decks, and patios, the rust-free aluminum frames hold up in sun, rain, and snow, and every one carries a 10-year warranty on the structure.

If you're new to aluminum structures, these are a smart place to start. Below is a quick look at the kit types in this collection and how to pick the one that fits your space. Popularity is a useful signal, but the right kit is the one that matches your dimensions, your climate, and your local rules — so measure first and confirm the fit on each product page before you order.

How To Choose

Picking the right kit for your space

Start with the job. Covering a driveway or open pad? A free-standing carport is the pick. Shading a deck, door, or window against your house? Choose a patio cover or awning. Want a screened or glazed room on the patio? Look at a retractable sunroom. Planning to add panels later? A solar-ready carport saves a retrofit.

Then measure. Allow about 2 to 3 feet of clearance past each side of a vehicle and enough height for mirrors or a roof rack; for a wall-mounted cover, measure the attachment length and how far out you want shade at midday. Every product page lists the exact footprint, post height, and roof pitch. All of these kits use aluminum instead of steel, which is why they don't rust at the welds — the aluminum vs. steel comparison explains the trade-offs. And before you order, check with your local building department about permits; our permit guide covers what to ask.

Questions

Best-sellers FAQ

What makes these kits our best sellers?

These are the configurations our buyers come back for: standard double-carport and cantilever spans that fit two vehicles, patio covers sized to common deck and porch widths, and awning kits that mount to an existing wall. They ship as pre-cut, pre-drilled aluminum kits with the hardware and instructions in the box, so the sizes that sell most are the ones people can actually install over a weekend. Popular doesn't mean right for every yard, though, so check the dimensions against your space before you order.

How do I choose between a carport, patio cover, awning, and sunroom?

Match the structure to the job. A free-standing carport covers a driveway or open parking pad. A patio cover or awning attaches to your house to shade a deck, door, or window. A solar carport adds panel-ready rails if you plan to mount PV. An insulated carport uses a foam-core roof to cut heat and rain noise. A retractable sunroom encloses a patio when you want a screened or glazed room. Our aluminum vs. steel comparison covers why every kit here uses aluminum rather than galvanized steel.

What size do I need?

Measure the area you want covered, then add clearance. For vehicles, allow roughly 2 to 3 feet of overhang past the car on each side and enough height for door mirrors or a roof rack. For a patio cover, measure the wall length you can attach to and how far out you want shade at midday. Every product page lists exact footprint, post height, and roof pitch so you can confirm the fit before ordering. If you're between two sizes, the larger one usually ages better as needs change.

Do I need a permit for these structures?

Often, yes. Many US jurisdictions treat a carport or attached patio cover as a permanent structure, and rules on setbacks, footings, and wind load vary widely by county. Always check with your local building department before you order, and ask whether they need engineered drawings. Our permit guide walks through what to ask and what documents to request, so you can confirm requirements for your address.

What warranty and shipping come with these kits?

Every aluminum structure carries a 10-year warranty against frame defects. Kits ship factory-direct from our own production, and orders over $2,599 ship free within the United States with tracking and full transit insurance. Production enters the queue 1 to 3 business days after your order and design are confirmed. See shipping and delivery for lead times and coverage, or the warranty page for what the 10-year coverage includes.
