Most of the time when people are considering installing or building a carport, one of the options they might want to consider is a double carport. Most people have more than one vehicle so it would not make much sense to build a standard single carport that only has one space available. You are going to want something that has two spots so that you can protect both of your vehicles or other equipment from the elements. There are a couple different ways you can get a carport that has room for two vehicles, and one option is to find some carport plans and have one built and a second option is to purchase a carport kit and make it yourself or have someone put it together with or for you.
If you choose the first option and you decided to buy a set of double carport plans then you have chosen the nicer of the two options. If you buy a set of plans and have a garage or carport constructed from those plans, they can be made to look just like your house or will look like some other type of solid structure. This can make it look like it was built at the same time the rest of your house was built. These types of structures usually will have electricity and in some cases heating and air-conditioning. So obviously this is a much nicer structure than the other option and if you are looking for something that is nicer and permanent, then this would be the way to go.
If you are looking for something that is easy and simple to set up and start using right away, then you will want to go with some double carport kits. These can be ordered from various companies and can be put together with relative ease and are easy to move around and down the road, if you choose to do so. These types of carports come in single, double, and even triple bays, so you really do need to decide how many parking spots you need and then choose the right size for you. Most households have at least two cars so the most common type of double carport is one with two slots for two vehicles. You can get an idea of what the double carport dimensions are for these products by visiting the websites of several of the companies that make and sell them. Most all of them provide you with the dimensions for how wide, how tall, and how long each of the carports are. For many of you, going with double carports are really the way to go.
