Two Car Double-Wide Carports
Carports can be incredibly versatile structures. You’re probably familiar with the traditional carport size that’s large enough to house a vehicle. However, you can expand to a larger carport that is able to serve multiple roles. Constructing a double-wide carport allows you to park multiple vehicles under it, and there are other added benefits of this additional space.
The Benefits of a Double-Wide Carport
A double-wide, or even triple-wide, carport is going to have more space under the roof than a single wide model. Here are the top benefits to upgrading to a double-wide carport and ways to use the extra space now or at a point in the future.
- Extra parking. Even if you don’t have two cars to park under your carport right now, think about whether or not there is any chance that you’ll have a second car in the future. If so, go with the bigger carport now so you are ready to park that vehicle out of the elements when the time comes. You’d rather have too much space available for a while than have to go back and completely replace your carport when it no longer serves your needs.
- Storage space. Another great option for a double wide carport is to use it as a blended space where you can park a vehicle and also store some items that you can’t fit in your home. For example, you could put some of your lawn care equipment, like a lawnmower, under the carport on the side that isn’t serving as a home to your vehicle. You’ll be able to protect your equipment from the elements and keep them in good condition longer.
- Outdoor living. This is an idea you might not have considered previously, but a double-wide carport can serve as a nice starting point for a comfortable outdoor living space. With plenty of space under the roof to take refuge from the sun or rain, you can relax outside with family or friends throughout the year.
A Modest Price Increase
You might be surprised to find how affordable a double wide carport can be. When trying to decide between a single-wide design and this larger option, be sure to get prices for both before making your choice. Once you see how modest the jump in price is between the two, it may be easy to opt for the larger version so you have plenty of space for various uses over the coming years.
Some Practical Considerations
There are some important practical points to keep in mind while getting started on this project. First, you’ll need to check in on any zoning rules that apply to your property which may limit what you can build and where you can build it. Also, think about how you’ll get vehicles in and out of the carport for parking. If it is awkwardly positioned or doesn’t leave enough room around the sides to pull in and out, you might struggle to use it as you had hoped.
