Single Carports and Single Wide Metal Carports Defined

Single carports or single-wide carports are metal carport shelters that are designed to cover one car, truck, boat, or recreational vehicle. For the most part, most carport manufacturers in the United States refer to their standard 12' wide unit as single carports. While these units start at 12' wide, we can build a single carport as narrow as 8' wide and as wide as 17' wide. Here are a few photos of just some of of those single-wide carports we offer:

How are 1-Car Carports Utilized?

Our 8-wide to 12'wide single metal carports products have a variety of practical uses. Customers utilize them for single vehicle shelters, boat storage, travel trailer storage, and more. We recommend a unit wider than 12' for metal RV carports, motorhome carports and motorhome covers because it can be difficult to navigate larger RVs into these narrow units, not to mention that many larger RVs have slide-outs on them and many owners prefer to open up those slide-outs when in prolonged storage. Other uses for these single-wide or 1-car carports, such as metal shelters for propane filling stations, outdoor break shelters, and employee designated smoking area shelters. They are more most often used for one-car carports for those homeowners that have a limited amount of space.
