High-Quality One Car Metal Carport

A single car steel carport is the perfect addition to your property if you are looking for a structure that optimally utilizes space while providing a premium shelter for your cars.

These highly affordable metal carports can easily be tailored to meet your specific requirements pertaining to vehicle size and type. Starting at 10 feet wide, a single car shelter can be enhanced in width for larger vehicles.

Requiring minimal maintenance than traditional structures, these carports can be designed to exceed your local building regulations. Moreover, they can improve the value of your property even when installed in smaller spaces.

One Car Carport Size

A small single car carport is 10 feet wide and 18 feet long. However, we would recommend investing in slightly larger dimensions in order for you to have enough room to maneuver under the structure.

If you are wondering which garage size should be perfect for your vehicle, then measuring the length, width, and height of your car is one of the best ways to go about it.

For a general idea, you can adequately park a sedan-sized vehicle in a 16-foot wide and 20-foot long carport. This will allow easy accessibility and an immense door-opening room.

1 Car Carport Dimensions
Width Length Height
10 feet to 18 feet 18 feet to 21 feet 8 feet to 12 feet high

Other common single car metal carport sizes are — 12x12, 12x20, 12x24, 16x20, and 18x20.

However, one-car RV carports can be up to 30 feet in width, 60 feet in length, and 16 feet in height, depending on the RVs you own.

In case you are confused between investing in a one car or two car carport, it is ideal to weigh the pros and cons of each along with determining the space you have to work with. The ideal choice should serve your lifestyle, purpose, budget, as well as local area codes.
