What Type of Carport Is Best for Your Home?
September 14, 2026
Choosing the right type of carport comes down to a few practical factors: how many vehicles you need to shelter, how much space you have, and what you want the structure to look like.
Single Carports
Single carports suit homes with one vehicle to protect, or properties with limited driveway width. They’re generally the simplest and most cost-effective option.
Double Carports
Double carports cover two vehicles side by side and suit households with two cars, or anyone wanting to shelter a vehicle alongside a trailer, boat or caravan.
Custom Carports
If your property has an irregular layout, a sloped site, or you need to shelter more than two vehicles, a custom carport is designed specifically around your space.
Questions to Ask Yourself
- How many vehicles do I need to cover?
- What does my current driveway or parking area look like?
- Do I want the carport to match my home’s existing roofline or style?
- Is this for residential or commercial use?
