Single vs Double Carports: Which Should You Choose?

Deciding between a single and a double carport is one of the most common choices homeowners face.

When a single carport wins

Ideal if you have one vehicle, a compact driveway, or a tighter budget.

When a double carport makes sense

The better choice for two-car households and businesses. Because both bays share a single structure, it’s usually more cost-effective than two separate carports.

Think ahead

If you may add a second vehicle soon, it can be worth going straight for a double.
