What is a carport?
A carport is a semi-covered structure designed to protect vehicles from rain, frost, and sun.
Carports are typically made from timber, steel, or aluminium, and are open on one or more sides, offering good airflow and easy access.
They can be attached to your home or built as freestanding carports, and many people also use them as shaded outdoor spaces or storage areas — making them a versatile addition to any property.
How much does a carport cost?
In the UK, carport installation costs usually range between £2,000 and £4,000 for a single carport and up to £6,000 for a double.
Prices depend on materials, size, design, and whether you choose an attached or freestanding build.
For example:
- Single carports: £2,000–4,000
- Double carports: £3,500–£6,500
- Laying a concrete base (12ft x 14ft): ~£2,400
- Custom designs with roofing or electrics will increase costs
For a detailed breakdown, see our carport cost guide.

- Lean-to carports attached to side walls for convenience

Carports vs garages
While garages provide full security and enclosed protection, carports offer a more flexible, affordable alternative.
The advantages of carports include:
- Quicker and cheaper to install
- Prevents condensation and rust through better airflow
- Can double as a canopy for outdoor living
The advantages of garages include:
- More secure and weather-resistant
- Adds greater property value
If you mainly want shelter and convenience, a carport is the perfect middle ground.
How long do carports last?
With good maintenance, carports typically last 20–30 years.
Metal and aluminium designs need minimal care, while timber versions benefit from regular sealing or painting to protect against moisture.
Maintaining your carport
A little bit of regular maintenance can help keep your carport safe, stable, and looking great. Here’s how:
- Clean roof panels and drains regularly
- Treat wooden parts every few years
- Tighten fittings and check anchors after high winds
- Inspect for rust or roof leaks once a year
