Applications
No two needs are alike. Farmers use their buildings differently than mechanics do, and so on. No matter what application you plan to use your building for, a two-car carports, utility carports will work for you. While the uses are limited only by your imagination and needs, we’ve listed a few possibilities below.
Sheltering Vehicles
Most families have at least two cars, and a two-car carport tends to keep them protected from extreme weather conditions. Of course, it makes an ideal option, even if you have one car.
Hobby Shop
Everyone has passions. Painting, woodworking, or any number of activities could be what you truly love doing. A double-car carport can facilitate your passions, no matter what they may be.
Protection from the Elements
Whether it’s a vehicle you worked hard to purchase, the equipment you use for your job, or even harvested crops, a double carport is the best way to protect it from the elements and inclement weather.
Business Expansion
There are numerous reasons you may wish to use a two-car carport for business applications. Working from home requires a proper space, and a two-car carport can provide just that. If you have equipment or storage needs related to your business, a double carport or three car carport can fill that role, too!
Roofing Styles
The type of roof you select for your double metal carport will heavily influence the aesthetics and overall structural strength of your building. Steel Carports knows that needs and tastes vary from person to person, so it gives you three distinct choices. Check them out below!
Regular Roof
Those living in temperate climates don’t necessarily require the strongest roof style. In fact, it could be overkill, both from a structural and financial standpoint. Regular roofs can save you money thanks to their incredibly streamlined production and installation processes that save time and reduce waste!
A-Frame Horizontal Roof
Like regular roofs, A-frame horizontal roofs utilize horizontal roof panels. To increase strength and weather-resistance, A-frame horizontal roofs add more framework and bracing, as well as eaves that directly runoff away from the base of the building.
Vertical Roof
The strongest roof style is also the most expensive. This tradeoff is very much worth it for those living in harsh climates, though, as the vertical roof panels drastically improve weight-bearing capacity and overall strength.
Customizations
You know those needs you have that are unique to you and your personal situation and tastes? Great news— Steel Carports allows you to customize nearly every aspect of your double-car carport to fulfill those needs!
Certifications, color, framing thickness (12- or 14-gauge), roof style, size, and more are all free to be changed to perfectly fit your desires.
Certified Versus Non-Certified 2-Car Carports
Certain areas may require that regulations and standards be met before you can legally construct your two-car carport. You should check with your local authorities to see what, if any, regulations you are subject to, then communicate them with Steel Carports so that it can provide you with a building that fits those specifications.
Even if you don’t have standards to meet, a certified steel carport is worth considering. Certified two-car carports have many advantages over their non-certified counterparts, including additional bracing, thicker build materials, improved ground anchors, and other such strength and safety-related benefits.
Sizes and Prices of Double-Car Carports
Standard sizes for two-car carports start at 18’ to 24’ wide and can be increased as required. As you increase the size of your metal building, the price will also increase. Your location, any necessary certifications, and the customizations you choose to make will all factor into the final cost of your double-car carport.
