Got Questions? We've Got Answers

What size carport do I need for one car?
A 12' wide carport is the most common size for one standard car, with popular options like 12' x 20' or 12' x 21'. If you drive a larger truck or want extra room for storage, choose more length or height.
How much does a one car carport cost?
One car metal carport prices depend on size, roof style, height, location, certification, panels, anchors, and custom options. Many basic single-car metal carports start around the low-thousands, while upgraded or certified models cost more. Garage Buildings provides custom quotes with free delivery and installation included.
Is a one car carport cheaper than a garage?
Yes, a one car carport is usually cheaper than a full garage because it uses less material, installs faster, and does not require full enclosure. It gives you affordable roof coverage for your vehicle without the higher cost of a garage.
Can I customize a single car carport?
Yes. You can customize the size, height, roof style, colors, trim, side panels, gable ends, anchors, and certified wind or snow load options to match your property and budget.
What can I use a one car carport for?
A one car carport can be used for a car, truck, motorcycle, ATV, mower, small tractor, trailer, tools, lawn equipment, firewood, or general outdoor storage.
Do I need a permit for a one car carport?
Permit rules depend on your city, county, state, carport size, anchoring, foundation, zoning, and setback requirements. Always check with your local building department before installation.
Why buy a one car carport from Garage Buildings?
Garage Buildings offers custom one car metal carports at competitive prices with free delivery, professional installation, multiple roof styles, color choices, certified options, and expert support to help you choose the right carport.

Real Reviews From Garage Buildings Customers

"Extremely reliable service from start to finish. My carport was installed in just 1.5 hours and the crew cleaned up everything. The entire process was smooth and professional. Would highly recommend Garage Buildings to anyone looking for quality metal structures."

Johan MorenoFlorida · Metal Carport · Aug 2024

"We ordered a 24x26 double carport and couldn't be happier. It protects both our vehicles perfectly and the A-frame roof looks great. The ordering process was easy and delivery was right on schedule — exactly 4 weeks from order."

Sarah MitchellRaleigh, NC · Metal Carports · Jan 2024

"We've been looking for a carport for months and Garage Buildings gave us the best deal, hands down. Their price match guarantee is real — they beat every other quote we got. The 18x21 carport looks great and was installed in 2 hours."

Maria RodriguezSan Antonio, TX · Metal Carports · Jun 2024

"Hayden Story was professional and timely with information throughout the process. My carport was exactly what was promised — great quality materials and expert installation. The vertical roof style really does make a difference with rain runoff."

Christopher LeeNorth Carolina · Metal Carport · Jun 2025

"Great quality and quick setup! The installation team arrived on time and had my carport completed in just a few hours. The structure is sturdy and looks way better than I expected. Customer service was responsive and helpful from order to completion."

Maria GonzalezTexas · Metal Carport · Dec 2024

"Needed a large carport to protect my RV from the Arizona sun. The 18x45 RV carport is perfect — plenty of clearance and the vertical roof keeps the rain off. Installation was quick and the crew was very professional."
