Buying a Carport By Size

Having a carport on your property can help you protect your vehicles, including RVs, motorcycles, cars, trucks, and other items that would otherwise need to be stored in a garage or shed. Carports are convenient and affordable and easy to install, but there are some factors you need to consider before you buy one. An important piece of criteria to think about is the size of carport you need. This guide will help you out.

How Many Vehicles Do You Have?

Consider the number of vehicles you need to store under your carport, and how you plan to park them. Do you want to be able to park them side-by-side, or would a vertical line of cars and trucks be okay? Carports tend to come in single, double, or triple measurements, with the ability to store one to three standard cars or trucks beneath them. Larger carports are good for bigger items, such as RVs or boats.

What Height Should Your Carport Be?

While a really high carport might seem advantageous for storing taller vehicles beneath it, there is such a thing as too much height. An extremely tall carport, especially if it’s not protected by a fence or your house, can end up swaying and becoming unstable in the wind. This is especially true if the carport is very wide or long.
