Why single cantilever
Built for one-sided clearance
One open side, zero front posts
Posts sit on a single edge, so the drive-in side stays clear. That makes it easier to park against a wall, a fence, or the side of the house, and it keeps the open side free for doors, gear, and walking room.
Powder-coated aluminum frame
Marine-grade aluminum will not rust like steel. The powder-coat finish holds its color through sun, rain, and coastal salt air, so the frame still looks right years after install.
Pre-cut, bolt-together kit
Numbered parts, pre-drilled holes, and the hardware all come in the box. Two people and a drill get it standing — you do not need a crew or a contractor.
Single vs double cantilever
Which cantilever fits your spot
Single cantilever covers one vehicle from one post line, which is the most economical way to roof a single bay. If you park two cars side by side or want a wider clear span, compare it against the L-Type double cantilever carport kits before you decide. The table below lines up the single cantilever against a conventional post-frame carport so you can see where each one makes sense.
| Spec | L-Type Single Cantilever | Standard Post-Frame Carport |
|---|---|---|
| Post layout | One side only | Both sides |
| Open drive-in side | Yes, fully open | Posts on both edges |
| Vehicles covered | One | One or more |
| Frame material | Aluminum | Often steel |
| Assembly | Bolt-together kit | Varies |
| Frame warranty | 10 years | Varies |

FAQ
Questions about L-Type single cantilever kits
What does single cantilever mean?
It means the roof is carried by one row of posts on a single side, leaving the other side fully open. The L-shaped aluminum frame extends the roof out over your vehicle so there are no posts on the drive-in edge.
How many vehicles does a single cantilever carport cover?
One vehicle per single cantilever bay. If you need to cover two cars side by side, look at the double cantilever or a wider multi-bay layout instead.
Do I need a permit for a single cantilever carport?
Permit rules depend on where you live. Check with your local building department before you install, since requirements for footings, setbacks, and wind ratings vary by area.
Is the frame aluminum or steel?
The frame is powder-coated aluminum. It does not rust the way steel can, and the finish is built to hold up against sun, rain, and salt air.
What warranty comes with the frame?
The aluminum frame carries a 10-year warranty. For full coverage details, see the product page for the kit you are considering.
