Are you looking for the perfect carport for your car? Then you need to think carefully about the dimensions. How high and how wide your carport should be depends on the size of your car or vehicle. Your other requirements also play a role. Read more about the minimum dimensions for different types of carports and what to look out for.
For most passenger cars, we recommend a carport at least 5.2 metres long and 3.5 metres wide. This ensures easy parking and that you stay dry when getting in and out. Our standard kits for carports therefore have the following dimensions:
Of course, your car may be larger or smaller than the average passenger car. The recommended dimensions may then be different from those outlined above. Or maybe you want to park an entirely different vehicle under the carport, such as a caravan or motorhome. In such cases, customisation may be required. We always think along with you to find a solution that fits your specific situation perfectly. Feel free to contact us contact us!
For most passenger cars, we recommend a carport at least 5.2 metres long and 3.5 metres wide. This ensures easy parking and stays dry when getting in and out. Below you can see our standard sizes for carports.
A carport for one car has a size of 3,500 x 5,200 mm. This size offers enough space for comfortable parking and getting in and out of the car. Ideal for most standard passenger cars.
A carport for two cars is 5,800 x 5,200 mm. This gives you enough space to park side by side without hitting the doors. This version is popular with families with two vehicles.
A carport for three vehicles has a size of 8,200 x 5,200 mm. This generous arrangement gives plenty of space and a symmetrical look, ideal for businesses or spacious driveways.
A standard carport is on average 2.2 metres high. Do you have an RV, bus or want to integrate solar panels? Then extra height or customisation may be required. We are happy to think along with you about the perfect solution.

Get in touch with usThe height of the carport should be at least 2.2 metres so that most passenger cars can fit under it. In terms of permits, there are also rules attached to the dimensions of a carport. You often don't need a permit if your carport is smaller than 30 square metres and no higher than 3 metres. Whether your permit or no permit needed also depends on the location of the carport.
We can take the application off your hands if you decide to make a solar carport custom-built.
If you want to buy not just a carport, but a carport with solar panels, you also want to consider the right dimensions for the amount of solar panels you need. The carport should be large enough to accommodate both the car and the number of solar panels.
As experts in solar canopies, we can advise you well. We specialise in customisation, so we can make a carport to fit cars of different sizes. We do this for both private and business customers.
