Aluminum Carport Kits

DIY aluminum carports built for U.S. driveways

Every carport on this page ships as a pre-cut, pre-drilled kit you bolt together yourself. The frames are aircraft-grade aluminum, so they will not rust, rot, or need repainting the way steel and wood do. They are light enough for a two-person weekend install, yet engineered to carry real snow and wind loads. We build them in our own factory and ship direct, so you skip the dealer markup and talk to the people who actually make the parts. Each kit is backed by a 10-year structural warranty.

Which carport style fits your space?

Start with how many vehicles you park and how the cover needs to attach. Here is how the four most popular styles compare.

Style Best for Mounting Typical coverage
Single carport One car, truck, or small RV Free-standing on posts One vehicle bay
Double carport Two vehicles side by side Free-standing on posts Two vehicle bays
Cantilever carport Driveways where you want zero posts on one side Posts on a single side, clear span opposite One to two bays, open access
Solar-ready carport Owners planning rooftop panels Free-standing, reinforced roof Two bays plus panel mounting

Not sure a carport is the right cover? Our patio cover kits and insulated carport kits handle shaded seating areas and year-round climate protection.

Popular Configurations

Carport kits people order most

Grey double cantilever aluminum carport kit covering two parked vehicles
1

Cantilever double carport

Posts sit on one side only, so you pull in and out without weaving around supports. A clean fit for two-car driveways that share a wall or fence line.

Silver double solar-ready aluminum carport kit with reinforced roof for panels
2

Solar-ready carport

The roof is reinforced to carry a solar array, so you can shade two vehicles now and add panels later. Confirm your panel layout and any electrical permits with your local building department.

Grey insulated aluminum carport kit with double-layer roof panels
3

Insulated carport

Double-layer roof panels cut heat buildup and drum-like rain noise, a good pick if you work under the cover or want to protect a boat or RV from summer sun.

Why Aluminum

What you get with an aluminum kit

Aluminum framing does not rust, so coastal salt air and road de-icing spray will not eat the structure. It weighs a fraction of steel, which keeps shipping reasonable and lets two people handle the parts during assembly. Because every piece arrives pre-cut and pre-drilled, you are bolting components together, not cutting and welding on site. The powder-coated finish holds its color without annual repainting. And since we manufacture and ship direct, the kit you receive is the kit we built, backed by a 10-year structural warranty. Before you set footings, check your local building department for permit and setback rules in your area.

FAQ

Carport kit questions, answered

Do I need a permit for an aluminum carport?

It depends on where you live. Many areas require a permit for any permanent covered structure, and rules vary by city and county. Check with your local building department before you order so you know the setback, footing, and engineering requirements that apply to your lot.

Can I assemble a carport kit myself?

Yes. Every kit ships pre-cut and pre-drilled with labeled parts and step-by-step instructions, so it is a bolt-together assembly rather than a cut-and-weld job. Most homeowners install with two people and common hand tools over a weekend. Larger double and solar-ready kits go faster with an extra set of hands.

How is a single carport different from a cantilever carport?

A single carport stands on posts at the corners and covers one vehicle. A cantilever carport places all posts on one side and leaves the opposite side open, so you can park and walk around the vehicle without weaving past supports. Compare both in the table above to match your driveway layout.

Will an aluminum carport rust or need repainting?

No. The frame is aluminum, which does not rust, and the powder-coated finish is baked on rather than brushed, so it holds its color without yearly repainting. That is the main reason owners in coastal and snow-belt regions choose aluminum over steel or wood.

What warranty comes with the carport kits?

Every aluminum carport kit is backed by a 10-year structural warranty. For full coverage details, see our warranty page, and reach out to us before ordering if you have questions about your specific site conditions.
