## Hip Roof Carport Design and Dimensions

The Hawthorne is a two-car carport with a hip roof on all four sides, so there are no gable ends to catch wind and rain sheds in every direction. A 12" eave all around shades the posts. The 24x28 frame gives two clear bays with room for full-size cars or SUVs plus a workbench at the back.

- Footprint: 672 sq ft frame, about 880 sq ft of roof surface
- Foundation: 12 concrete piers, 12" diameter, 42" deep or below your frost line
- Posts stand on post bases 1" above the concrete, so nothing is buried in the ground
- One cut angle for all rafters: 6/12 on the speed square
- Design basis: conventional light-frame practice for ground snow up to about 20 psf and ordinary inland wind, not an engineered design

## File Format, Paper Size and Units

The plan is a single PDF formatted for US Letter paper. You can print it at home or a print shop, or open it on a tablet or laptop at the build site. All dimensions are in feet and inches to 1/16", and the cut list adds metric values for reference.

## Who These Carport Building Plans Are For

This plan suits DIY builders with some framing experience who are comfortable cutting rafters with a circular saw and speed square. Lifting beams and roofing are two- or three-person jobs, so plan for helpers. Beginners can follow it with an experienced friend, since every cut and connector is listed.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Do I need a permit to build a double carport?

In most areas a 672 sq ft double carport needs a building permit. Show these carport plans to your building department, which may ask for its own snow, wind or frost numbers.

### What is a good size for a double carport?

A 24x28 double carport gives two bays of 11' 5" clear width and 28' of depth. That fits two full-size cars or SUVs with room left for a workbench at the back.

### What is the best type of roof for a carport?

A hip roof is a strong choice for a carport because it has no gable ends to catch wind and sheds rain on all four sides. This plan uses a 6/12 hip roof with architectural shingles.

### How far apart should posts be for a carport?

In this hip roof carport plan the posts are 142-1/2" apart across the front and 111" apart front to back. The 12 posts sit on concrete piers in 3 lines of 4.
