How Much Space Does One Vehicle Need?
Most single vehicles fit comfortably under a cover roughly 10 to 12 feet wide and 16 to 20 feet long. A compact car or sedan is happy on the shorter, narrower end, while a full-size pickup or SUV benefits from the extra length and at least 8 feet of post height for clearance. Think about door swing and walk-around room too, not just the bumper-to-bumper footprint, so you are not squeezing past the mirror every time you unload groceries.
Standard Single Bay
A straight-roof aluminum cover sized for one daily driver. The clean post-and-beam frame keeps the parking bay open on all sides for easy in-and-out and good airflow.
Insulated Roof Option
An insulated panel roof cuts down heat soak and rain noise, which makes a real difference if you park, work, or relax under the cover during the hottest part of the day.
Solar-Ready Frame
The same aluminum structure can carry rooftop solar panels, turning a single parking spot into shade plus power generation if that is on your roadmap.
Not sure a single bay is enough? If you have two vehicles or want room for a trailer, compare the footprints on our double aluminum carport kits before you commit to a size.
Aluminum Single Carport vs. Steel and Fabric
| What matters | Aluminum kit | Galvanized steel | Fabric / pop-up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rust resistance | Will not rust | Rusts where coating wears | No rust, but frame is light |
| Wind & snow load | Engineered solid frame | Strong, heavier | Limited, not for snow |
| Assembly | Bolt-together, pre-drilled | Often needs welding | Quick but temporary |
| Upkeep | Rinse occasionally | Repaint over time | Replace fabric regularly |
| Warranty | 10-year structural | Varies | Short or none |

Single Carport Questions, Answered
What size carport do I need for one car?
For a typical sedan, a cover around 10 feet wide by 16 feet long is plenty. Trucks, SUVs, and vans usually want 12 feet wide by 18 to 20 feet long, with at least 8 feet of post height for clearance. Measure your vehicle and add a few feet on each side so you can open doors and walk around comfortably.
Do I need a permit for a single carport?
It depends on where you live. Many areas require a permit for any permanent structure attached to a foundation, and some have setback or height rules. Check with your local building department before you order so you order a size and configuration that meets your local code.
Can I install a single carport kit myself?
Yes. The kits arrive pre-cut and pre-drilled, so a handy homeowner with a helper and basic tools can assemble one over a weekend on a prepared concrete or paver slab. No welding or cutting is required. You will need the surface level and the posts anchored according to the included instructions.
How is an aluminum carport anchored?
The posts bolt down to a concrete slab or footings using anchor hardware. A flat, cured concrete pad is the most common and most secure base. The right anchoring also matters for wind performance, so follow the spacing and fastener guidance in the kit and your local code requirements.
What warranty comes with a single carport kit?
Our aluminum carport kits carry a 10-year structural warranty on the framing. Aluminum does not rust, so with occasional rinsing the structure typically looks and performs well for the long haul. For full warranty terms, see the details on each product page or contact us.
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!
