A vital addition to a home is carports. Kool Breeze offers multiple carport options to help meet your needs without damaging your curb appeal. Whether you choose a freestanding structure, match it to your exterior design, or choose a more modern look, our team can help ensure your carport is reliable in the Utah weather.
Double Vs. Single Carports
Single and double carports are typically used for vehicles. Single carports fit one vehicle while double carports fit two vehicles. Even if you don’t need the storage space, from a double cover, both carport options can be customized to fit your desired home aesthetic.
Single carports are easy to install and are typically made of wood, aluminum, or steel. They are the most budget-friendly option for homeowners and work well for those with limited space.
Double carports will add more utility to a home by allowing you to store multiple vehicles or outdoor items. These carports are typically made of steel, wood, or vinyl.
Freestanding Carports
These independent structures will not be attached to your home and are more versatile than the attached options. Freestanding carports can be relocated if needed so they can be used for shade, gatherings, or storage. This makes them more of an investment, but still a wise one as it is versatile in uses.
Since these carports can be moved if needed, they can be used for a variety of purposes. Many homeowners leave them in one place (typically over a concrete driveway or parking area) and use them for gatherings, grilling, parking, lounging, or short-term storage.
Attached Carports
Carports are often attached to the exterior of a home or business. While this isn’t required, having the carport attached to the home can provide more shade which lowers the interior temperature of a home. They provide easier access to your home, protection from the elements while getting to your car, and better interior temperatures.

When choosing an attached carport, you will want to consider your exterior design and the surrounding landscape. Carports can be made out of many different materials, which means that homeowners have the opportunity to find an option that best suits them.
Specialty Options
If you are looking for a custom fit, specialty carports can be designed around larger vehicles, ATVs, trailers, campers, and more. Specialty carport options can have added walls or security to keep more expensive items safe. While most custom carports are usually placed around commercial properties, you can have them installed for your home. Keep in mind that custom options and more specialized materials will come with a higher cost.
Homeowners who can benefit the most from specialty carport options include:
- Those who own boats
- Own ATVs or other special vehicles
- Own heavy machinery or expensive equipment
- Farmers
- Truck drivers
- Who needs extra storage space
- Have a large or curved driveway
Carport Options To Boost Curb Appeal
There are many carport designs that compliment different home designs. Homeowners can choose from a rustic or industrial style, multiple material options, and customize color to match their home. Carports with added storage rooms will help it feel more of an extension of your home, while fully open carports can double as an outdoor gathering space.
Some popular carport options include:
- Traditional style with columns
- Industrial
- Rustic or Barnlike
- Attached archways
- Patio style
- Extended deck and carport combo
In order for homeowners to maintain their curb appeal, the carport will need to feel like it was always part of the home. If your carport looks too far out from your exterior design, it may stick out like a sore thumb. Blending in the materials or color of your carport will help enhance curb appeal, rather than diminish it.
