Custom Metal Carports for Multiple Vehicles: How to Maximize Space

Managing a multi-vehicle household or a small fleet for your business requires strategic planning, particularly when it comes to providing secure, protective parking. National Metal Buildings specializes in providing custom metal carports that are perfect for housing multiple vehicles. Here’s how to make the most of your space with our custom carport solutions.

Understand Your Space

Before investing in a custom metal carport, it’s essential to accurately measure your available space. This includes the overall area and the height allowance. National Metal Buildings’ experts are ready to help you identify the best size and layout options for your carport based on these measurements.

Identify Your Needs

Understanding your needs is crucial in customizing your metal carport. How many vehicles do you need to accommodate? What sizes are they? Do you require additional storage for vehicle accessories, tools, or machinery? Answers to these questions will guide the design process to ensure your carport meets your unique requirements.

Optimize Layout

There are different layouts to consider when housing multiple vehicles in a carport. Two of the most common ones are the side-by-side layout and the tandem layout. The side-by-side layout allows for easy access to all vehicles without moving any others. On the other hand, a tandem layout, where cars are parked one behind the other, can be a space-saving solution if your area is long but not very wide.

Choose the Right Roof

The roof style of your custom metal carport can also impact the available space. National Metal Buildings offer three types of roofs: regular, boxed-eave, and vertical. While all three provide excellent protection, vertical roofs are best for carports housing multiple vehicles due to their enhanced strength and ability to effectively channel rain or snow away from the carport.

Think Vertical

If your area is limited, consider utilizing vertical space. Adding a loft to your carport can provide extra storage space without encroaching on your vehicle area. This way, you can store vehicle-related items or other equipment conveniently and securely.

Maximize with Custom Features

Custom features can further maximize the utility and efficiency of your metal carport. Consider adding doors for enhanced security, insulation for temperature control, or even solar panels on the roof for energy efficiency. National Metal Buildings can assist in incorporating these features seamlessly into your carport design.
