Carport FAQ
What is a freestanding carport?
A freestanding carport is an open-sided, solid-roofed structure that stands on its own posts — no walls, no attached garage. Every plan here uses the same post-and-beam engineering as our pergolas, with a solid shingled roof deck instead of open lattice.
Do carports need a building permit?
Many jurisdictions treat a freestanding carport as an accessory structure with its own size and setback rules — check your local building department before building.
How big a carport do I need for one or two cars?
A single-car carport typically needs at least 12×20 feet; a double carport needs roughly 18-20 feet of width. See the dimensions on each plan page for the exact footprint.
