One Car Carports

A single-car steel carport, built to outlast the weather.

Your car spends most of its life parked, and every hour of that under open sky is an hour of fading paint, hairline hail dents, tree sap, and winter ice welded to the windshield. A one-car carport ends that — a galvanized-steel roof standing guard over the one vehicle you actually depend on, for a fraction of what a full garage costs to build.

Unlike a wood cover that rots or a fabric one that shreds by its third winter, this is bolted, braced steel engineered to your county's wind and snow loads. It's the least you can spend to genuinely protect a vehicle — no permit fight in most counties, no foundation to pour, and no annual re-covering. Park under it the first afternoon and it's still doing the job a truck or two from now.

The single-car lineup

Single-car covers, ready to size up.

Every model is a starting point — widen the legs, add length, swap the roof, or close it in. Pick one, or design a custom footprint to the inch.

Don't see your exact size?

These are our most-ordered single-car covers — but every one is built to spec. Design a custom footprint to the inch, browse the full carport range for something wider, or talk it through with a building specialist.

Is one bay enough?

“It's just one car — do I really need this?”

More than you'd think. A single bay is the most-used building we sell — because the square footage under it never sits empty. Here's what buyers actually park under theirs.

01
Daily driver, kept like new

Shade off the paint, hail off the hood, and no more scraping frost at 6 a.m. — a single bay pays for itself in resale value alone.

02
Truck, SUV, or work van

Raise the legs to 7–9 ft and a 12×26 clears a full-size crew cab with the ladder rack still on.

03
Motorcycle, ATV & mowers

Toys and lawn equipment stay dry and out of the sun without eating a garage bay you don't have.

04
Small boat or jet-ski trailer

A 12×26 tucks a bass boat or PWC on the trailer under cover between weekends on the water.

05
Weekend workshop

Open-air shade for cutting, welding, or wrenching — and an easy candidate to close in with walls later.

06
Overflow & storage

Firewood, patio furniture, the second fridge — a covered slab is the cheapest square footage you'll ever add.

Roof styles

Good, better, best — pick the roof for your weather.

Same single-car frame underneath. The roof is where you match the build to your climate — and where a small upgrade saves you from snow and standing water.

Good

Regular roof

Rounded corners, horizontal panels. The most affordable single-car cover and the fastest to ship — ideal for mild climates and budget builds.

Best for: Mild weather · lowest price
Better

A-frame horizontal

A peaked, boxed-eave roofline that looks like your house and sheds rain far better than a rounded roof. A clean residential upgrade.

Best for: Rain · a home-matching look
BestBest value

Vertical roof

Panels run ridge-to-eave so snow and water slide straight off instead of pooling, with extra bracing. The upgrade that pays for itself if you see real winters.

Best for: Snow & high wind
Sizes & prices

How big is a one-car carport?

“One-car” describes the job, not one fixed footprint — it's a single-bay cover for one vehicle, 12 feet wide as standard so both doors swing open with room to spare. The choice that actually matters is length and leg height.

A 21-footer swallows a sedan or compact SUV; a 26 clears a full-size truck with cab room to spare. Search or scroll the sizes below and hover any one to see what it fits — sedan or truck — plus its SKU and price.

The size buyers almost never regret is the next one up — financed, it's a few dollars a month.

Real, verified Google reviews from owners who bought their building from us, straight from our business profile.

We are building a barndominium and they delivered the shell on schedule. Our contractor said the framing was straighter than most stick-built shells he sees.
P
Priya & Dave L.
Bend, OR
Loafing shed for the horses showed up exactly when they said it would. The crew leveled and anchored on uneven ground and didn't try to charge extra.
G
Greg H.
Bowling Green, KY
Hurricane-rated anchors and engineer-stamped drawings were ready when our county asked. Permit went through the first time.
