2-Car Carports

Your two vehicles need shelter now, but a traditional garage runs $20,000 to $40,000 — money you don't have sitting around while your cars bake under UV rays, get pelted by hail, and sit through snowstorms all season.

Some sellers lure you in with a low advertised price, then tack on delivery fees, installation surcharges, and regional markups that practically double what you actually pay. That kind of bait-and-switch costs you real money, real time, and a lot of frustration.

Our 2-car carports start at $2,500, sized for everything from compact sedans to full-size trucks hauling roof racks, with free nationwide delivery and installation included. Call us at (866) 941-4072 or schedule a free consultation and we'll help you size it right the first time.

Standard 2-car carports range from 20' to 24' wide and 20' to 35' deep, with clearance heights between 8' and 12'. For most customers with modern vehicles, we recommend 22' x 35' x 12' — it gives you comfortable door clearance and handles the larger trucks and SUVs most families drive today.

But the right dimensions? Those depend entirely on what you're parking and how you plan to use the space.

At 20' wide, you can fit two compact cars or mid-size sedans — think Honda Civics or Toyota Corollas. It works when space is tight, though door clearance gets a little snug.

Our 22' width is the one most people go with. Two standard vehicles (sedans, crossovers, mid-size SUVs) fit comfortably with proper clearance on both sides and between vehicles. You can swing doors fully open without dinging the other car or clipping the carport frame.

Go with 24' wide and you've got room for two full-size trucks — Ford F-150s, Chevy Silverados — plus space along one side for storage cabinets, tool chests, or a small workbench.

A standard 20' depth handles most sedans and compact SUVs just fine. But for full-size trucks, extended cab pickups, or if you want storage room at the front or back, we recommend 24' to 30' deep.

Own a crew cab or long bed truck? We strongly suggest going to 35'. Modern trucks like the Ford F-250 or Ram 2500 can exceed 20' in length, and nobody wants bumpers hanging out into the weather because they skimped on depth.

That extra depth pulls double duty, too — room for lawn equipment, motorcycles, ATVs, or seasonal gear. You're basically getting a storage shed and vehicle protection in one structure.

We offer clearance heights from 8' to 12', and we recommend 12' as the go-to for modern vehicles. Standard passenger cars sit 5' to 6' tall, while full-size trucks and SUVs run 7' to 8'. Add roof racks, cargo carriers, or ladder racks and you've tacked on another 6" to 12".

With 12' of clearance, you get comfortable overhead space for any vehicle combination — lifted trucks, SUVs with roof-mounted cargo boxes, work trucks with ladder racks. And the extra height improves ventilation while eliminating that cramped feeling when you're parking something big.

Our 2-car metal carports range from $2,500 to $7,495 depending on size, customization, and features — with free delivery and professional installation included nationwide. That price covers everything: materials, manufacturing, delivery to all 50 states, professional installation, anchoring, and final inspection.

Stack that against a traditional 2-car garage at $20,000 to $40,000. Months of construction. Complex permitting headaches. Our carports deliver solid weather protection at a fraction of that cost, and installation wraps up in a single day.

A basic 20' x 20' x 8' starts around $2,500 — ideal for two compact vehicles with minimal customization. Our most popular configuration, the 22' x 35' x 12', typically falls between $4,200 and $5,500 depending on roof style and gauge thickness. Larger builds like 24' x 35' x 12' run $5,800 to $7,495, particularly when you upgrade to vertical roofing.

All of these prices include 14-gauge galvanized steel construction, professional-grade anchoring systems, and our standard color options.

Every quote includes complete delivery and professional installation to all 50 states — a value of $1,500 to $3,000 that competitors often charge as an add-on. We also include certified anchoring appropriate for your region, basic color selection from our standard palette, and manufacturer warranties on materials and workmanship.

Your installation covers site assessment, professional setup by trained crews, proper leveling and anchoring, and a final inspection to confirm everything meets our quality standards and local building codes.

Roof style makes the biggest difference in pricing. Regular horizontal roof is our base option. An A-frame horizontal roof adds $300-$500. Vertical roof adds $500-$800 depending on size. We strongly recommend vertical roofing for 2-car carports — the improved water and snow drainage meaningfully extends the life of the structure.

Enclosure options cost more but dramatically expand what the carport can do. One or two side panels run $400-$800. Partial enclosure (three sides) adds $1,200-$1,800. Full enclosure — converting to a garage-style building with a roll-up door — adds $2,500-$4,000 but gives you secure, fully-protected storage.

Gauge thickness upgrades, extra height, custom colors beyond our standard palette, and structural add-ons like lean-to storage sections all affect final pricing. We walk you through every option during your free consultation.

Yes — our 2-car carports with 12' clearance height easily accommodate full-size trucks, SUVs, and vehicles with roof racks or cargo carriers. We specifically design our recommended configurations around modern vehicles, which are significantly larger than anything from even a decade ago.

Average vehicle height has climbed substantially. Full-size trucks and SUVs now commonly exceed 7 feet tall before any roof accessories. Add roof racks, cargo boxes, or ladder racks and you're looking at total heights of 8 to 9 feet. Our 12' clearance still leaves 3 to 4 feet of overhead space — plenty of room to spare.

Here's a quick breakdown of what roof accessories actually add: standard roof racks tack on 6" to 8", cargo boxes add 12" to 18", and ladder racks on work trucks typically add 10" to 14". If you regularly use roof accessories, that 12' clearance isn't optional — it's essential.

We recommend 12' clearance as standard because it future-proofs your investment. Maybe you drive a sedan now but upgrade to a truck in three years. The added height also improves air circulation and makes parking less stressful overall.

We offer full customization including roof styles (vertical, regular horizontal, or A-frame horizontal), partial or full enclosure options, extra storage areas, side panels, gable ends, and color selections to match your property.

Regular horizontal roof has panels running horizontally from side to side — our most economical option. A-frame horizontal roof adds a peaked center for better water drainage while keeping the horizontal panel orientation.

Vertical roof runs panels vertically from front to back, creating channels that push water and snow straight down the sides. This is our strong recommendation for 2-car carports. Snow slides off more readily instead of piling up, and water drains far more efficiently.

Studies indicate that vertical roof structures experience 40-60% less snow accumulation compared to horizontal roof designs. The $500-$800 upcharge? We consider it essential for structures of this size. Worth every penny.

You can go completely open (roof and support posts only), partially enclosed (adding one, two, or three walls), or fully enclosed (four walls with a door — essentially a garage-style building).

Open carports give you excellent weather protection with maximum ventilation. Partial enclosure adds walls on whichever sides face your prevailing weather, which dramatically improves protection while keeping costs down. Full enclosure creates a secure, lockable building that stops theft and blocks every weather condition.

We offer gable ends for improved aesthetics and weather protection, lean-to extensions for additional storage or workspace, custom color matching to complement your home, reinforced framing for high-wind or heavy-snow regions, and integrated gutters and downspouts for proper water management.

How long does installation take? Most 2-car carport installations wrap up in 4-8 hours depending on size and ground conditions. Our professional crews handle everything from site preparation through final anchoring.

Do I need a permit? Permit requirements vary by locality. Many areas don't require permits for open carports, but some municipalities have specific regulations. We provide guidance on local requirements and documentation to support your permit application if needed.

What maintenance is required? Minimal. Periodically check anchor bolts for tightness, clear debris from the roof, and inspect for any scratches or damage to the coating. That's about it.

Can I install it myself? Technically possible if you're an experienced builder, but we include professional installation with every purchase at no additional cost. Our crews bring specialized equipment and the expertise to make sure your installation meets manufacturer warranty requirements.

What's your warranty coverage? We provide manufacturer warranties covering materials and workmanship. Specific coverage varies by component — typically 20 years on frame rust-through, 1 year on workmanship. We'll include complete warranty details with your quote.
