Carports typically cost from $2,800 to $7,000 depending on the style and size. They can either be prefab and shipped in a kit or custom built on site by a contractor. Some customization options like insulation increase the building prices. You should also consider the location since it impacts weather conditions. Size A double carport allows you to park two vehicles side by side rather than cramming them into a single garage. They’re also useful for storing tools and equipment you don’t want outside in the elements, such as lawn mowers or bikes. They’re generally between 18 and 24 feet wide, which is plenty of room for most standard cars. However, if you have a service body truck or other oversized vehicle, you may need to increase the length and height of your carport. Many of our customers use their double carports as a blended parking shelter and storage area, and we’ve got several options that are perfect for this purpose.
