Affordable Carports for Mobile Homes
A mobile home carport is designed to attach to or install adjacent to manufactured homes, providing covered parking and shade. It typically has one side open for attaching to the home and can be built to match the roof line of your mobile home, so it looks like it belongs there.
At Alan’s Factory Outlet, we offer carport solutions in a range of sizes, styles, and colors, with options that are low-maintenance for busy homeowners. You can use our simple 3D online designer to select your style, size, and color, then place your order online.
Attached vs. Freestanding Mobile Home Carports
A mobile home carport is a type of carport that can be set up in two common ways: freestanding beside your mobile home or built as one of the attached carports that connect along the roof edge. A freestanding unit sits on its own posts next to the home, which many homeowners prefer when park rules or site conditions make attachment complicated.
If you’d like it attached, it’s often done using header beams (where allowed) so the cover can align neatly with manufactured homes and improve overall durability in everyday weather. Local requirements can vary, though, so it’s smart to check permitting rules and any mobile home park guidelines before you decide.
In many codes, a “carport” is typically defined as a structure that’s open on multiple sides (often at least two).
How Much Does a Carport for a Mobile Home Cost?
The prices of our standard metal carport options range between $1,295 and $4,995. Your total will depend on the size you need and the options you choose, such as roof style, height, and side panels.
If you’re pricing out a mobile home carport, it helps to think about what you’re protecting most, too. A well-sized carport can reduce weather wear from sun, rain, and snow, which supports long-term durability and can be a nice plus for property value.
How Can You Customize a Carport for a Mobile Home?
Mobile homes vary in height and roof pitch, so a custom mobile home carport can be sized and styled to fit your home and local conditions. Whether you have a single-wide or double-wide, the goal is to get the coverage you need, with options that stay low maintenance year after year.
- Size: Our carport sizes start at 12ft wide by 20ft long, and we can custom-build a carport in almost any height, width, or length to match your roofline and clearance needs.
- Roof Style: Regular, boxed-eave, and vertical roof styles are available. If you’re in an area with heavier rain or strong winds, a vertical roof can be a smart fit. It also supports adding a gutter along the edge for better runoff control.
- Sides: You can leave your carport’s sides open or partially enclose them for extra protection. Many homeowners add side panels or awnings to block wind-driven rain and sun at lower angles.
- Color: We offer a wide selection of colors for your carport’s roof and trim, so it blends with your home.
- Installation: Installation is handled by a professional crew, so your carport is set up according to the selected options and local requirements.

Wind, Anchoring, and Local Requirements
If you’re in an area that sees strong winds (coastal regions like Florida or the Carolinas are common examples), then anchoring, attachment methods, and even roof selection should follow local requirements and any mobile home park rules.
For homeowners, it’s also one of the simplest ways to support long-term durability, because wind loads can stress both freestanding and attached structures if they aren’t set up correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are quick answers to common questions homeowners have when shopping for a mobile home carport.
Pricing usually lands in the low thousands and can reach the upper end of the typical standard range, depending on what you choose. Size makes the biggest difference, then roof style and upgrades like side panels. A taller frame to match your roofline or extra coverage for wider parking can also raise the total.
It depends on where you live. Many counties and cities set their own thresholds based on size, height, and whether the structure is attached. Mobile home parks can add another layer of rules, even for smaller builds. If you’re unsure, a quick check with your local permitting office (and your park manager, if applicable) can save time later.
A 20×20 two-car carport can start from around $1,695, with costs going up based on roof style, height, and side options. Site conditions matter too, including leveling, anchoring, and local requirements. The easiest way to price your exact setup is to use an online 3D builder and adjust options to match your needs.
Often, yes, but how easy it is depends on how it was installed. Many metal carports can be disassembled and moved, especially freestanding builds, but anchored posts and any attachment points may require extra work. You’ll also want to plan for new anchoring and permitting at the next site, since local requirements can differ.
