5500MM*2790MM, 5500MM*3190MM, 6000MM*3190MM, etc. Here is a detailed introduction about carports: 1. Introduction: A carport (also known as a vehicle shelter) is an outdoor protective barrier designed to shield vehicles from damage. It serves as a protective structure with functions including wind protection, rain shelter, sun shading, landscape beautification, and prevention of falling objects from heights. Commonly found in residential buildings, villa communities, companies, schools, shops, stadiums, factories, government institutions, and other outdoor private or public spaces. 2.

The size of a carport really depends on your car usage habits. I live in a rented apartment in a big city with limited space, so I opted for a compact one, approximately 10 feet wide by 20 feet deep (3m x 6m), which is enough to fit a sedan or a small SUV. The height should be over 8 feet to avoid roof scratches. You also need to consider door opening space—adding a few extra feet in width makes entry and exit easier, and a bit more depth prevents rain from hitting the hood. During installation, check local municipal regulations; in my area, the height limit is 10 feet to avoid violations. Here’s a tip: a friend bought one too small and ended up scratching the car door, costing hundreds in repairs, so measuring your car’s dimensions and adding extra space is crucial. Nowadays, many manufacturers offer customization, but a basic 10x20 feet model is usually sufficient for daily use.
