How Big Is a Double Carport?

When it comes to carports, size does matter. How big should your double carport be? How do you choose the right size for your needs? This blog post will help you answer those questions and more! We will discuss the different sizes of carports available and help you figure out which one is right for you. So, whether you are looking for a small or large carport, we have you covered!

What Is a Double Carport?

A double carport is a double-wide outdoor structure designed to protect two cars from the elements. It is typically wider than a single carport and can be easily constructed out of metal, wood, plastic, or fabric, depending on individual preferences. Generally speaking, double carports range in size from around 36 feet wide to over 90 feet wide, so there’s plenty of room for two cars as well as space for additional storage.

Furthermore, double carports are cost-effective and great for protecting both cars against weather conditions such as wind and rain. Finally, with proper care and maintenance, double carports can last upwards of 20 years with no major issues. Double carport size is a very important consideration when you’re looking for a carport that meets your needs. It’s important to measure your car and the area where you plan to install the double carport to ensure an adequate fit. Additionally, many companies offer custom-made double carports as well, so if you have any special requirements, it’s best to inquire with them first before making a purchase.

Overall, double carports provide plenty of room for two cars and additional storage space to keep your items safe from the elements. It’s important to measure the area and your vehicles carefully before making a purchase to ensure that the carport you choose is adequate for your needs. With proper care and maintenance, double carports can be a great investment that will serve you for many years.

When Are Double Carports Necessary?

Double carports can be a necessity for homeowners with multiple cars, large boats, and recreational vehicles. While the exact size of double carports can vary depending on what is being stored, they typically range from 18 feet wide to 40 feet long or more and at least double the height of single carports.

These double carport structures must have added reinforcement to properly secure heavier items, so it’s important to ensure your double carport is built according to safety requirements. When purchasing a double carport, make sure you double-check measurements and ask questions if necessary – not only to ensure your cars, boats, and RVs will fit but also for your own safety!

Factors To Consider When Investing in a Double Carport

Investing in a double carport is an excellent way to protect your vehicles and maximize space. When choosing a double carport, there are a few key factors to consider. These factors include the following:

The Size and Height of the Double Carport

When it comes to double carports, the size and height should be taken into consideration in order to make sure that it is both functional and compliant with local regulations. Typically, double carports should be a minimum of 20 feet wide and 21 feet long, with double-door access points at either end. However, due to size restrictions imposed by many municipalities, double carports generally max out at a width of 24 feet, leaving the largest sizes for fine motorhome or RV housing.

Additionally, double carports are usually built between 7 and 9 feet tall – 8 being the most common – from roof peak to ground level so as not to encroach upon any zoning laws. For those looking to store tall recreational vehicles such as boats or ATVs, double carports are available with greater heights of up 14 feet. Keep in mind the considerations when selecting a double carport so that your investment works for you!

The Materials of the Double Carport

When selecting a double carport, you want to make sure that you invest in quality materials. Double carports are usually constructed with either galvanized steel or aluminum frames and metal sheeting which offers superior durability and protection against the elements. Additionally, these frames can be powder-coated for an extra layer of weatherproofing and to provide a fresh, modern look.

When selecting the roofing material, you’ll want to choose something that is both lightweight and has superior waterproof capabilities. The most popular double carport roofing options are metal sheeting or corrugated plastic, which offers great protection from rain while still allowing sunlight to pour through.

The Cost of the Double Carport

When investing in a double carport, you will also want to consider the cost. Generally, double carports range anywhere from $1000-$5000 depending on size, materials used, and customization options. When comparing prices, make sure to do your due diligence and research the quality of materials being offered by each seller.

In addition to the cost of the double carport itself, you will also need to factor in any additional costs, such as installation and any necessary permits. Installation fees can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the setup, with simpler setups typically costing less than more intricate ones. With that said, do not forget to consider these extra expenses when investing in a double carport.

Wrapping Up

Double carports are important investments to make for your home. They provide you with extra storage and protect your vehicles from the elements. Generally, a double carport is around 18 to 24 feet wide and 21 to 26 feet deep. How big exactly depends on several factors, such as the size of your vehicle, budget, and more. Make sure to take all these into consideration when deciding how big of a double carport you should get. With the right size, your investment will be worth it in the long run.
