What is a Double Carport?
A double carport is a covered structure designed to shelter two vehicles side-by-side under one continuous roof. It’s the most popular carport size for Brisbane homeowners, offering generous undercover space for families with two cars, plus room to move comfortably around each vehicle.
In Brisbane, double carports are often built across front driveways, alongside existing garages, or as standalone structures on larger blocks. They need to hold up through hailstorms and intense summer heat, and they often sit within character overlays, boundary setbacks or visual amenity considerations that need careful design.
Like every one of our custom carports, each double carport is engineered to your block, your vehicles and Queensland’s weather, with finishes that match your home’s roofline, pitch and profile.

Client Testimonials
Hear It From Our Customers
We’re proud of the patios, carports and decks we build, but it means more when you hear it from the people who live with them every day. Here’s what some of our customers have said about working with the Lifestyle Patios team.
Why Choose a Double Carport?
Here’s why double carports are the most popular choice for Brisbane homeowners:
- Side-By-Side Cover: Generous undercover space for two vehicles parked side-by-side, with full clearance around each car for door access and movement.
- Built for Family Life: Practical for daily routines like unloading groceries, getting kids in and out of the car, or staying dry during Brisbane downpours.
- Full Custom Build: Designed around your block, your vehicles and your home. No off-the-shelf kits, no boxed-in dimensions.
- Built for Queensland Weather: Shields both vehicles from intense sun, hail and humidity. Insulated roofing blocks up to 90% of radiant heat for added protection.
- Council-Ready: Doubles often hit boundary setbacks, character zone rules or visual amenity checks. We handle the council approval process from day one.
What Size is a Single Carport?
A standard double carport size fits two cars side-by-side, with enough clearance between vehicles for comfortable door swing and walking room around each car.
Because every Lifestyle Patios build is custom-engineered to your block, exact double carport dimensions vary based on your home, your vehicles and how you plan to use the space.
Some Brisbane homeowners need extra width to fit two SUVs or utes comfortably. Others need extended length for a sedan plus a trailer or workshop area at the back. We design to suit.
What Fits Inside a Double Carport:
- Two sedans, SUVs, utes or 4WDs parked side-by-side with full door clearance
- A sedan plus a trailer, boat or caravan when sized up
- Two vehicles with additional side or rear storage for tools, bikes or sporting gear
Custom Insulated Double Carports
Insulated roofing is a high-performance upgrade available across every double carport we build, whether flat, gable, or fly-over. It transforms a standard double carport into a premium, climate-controlled shelter for two vehicles. For materials, performance and cost considerations, read our guide to insulated carport roofing in Brisbane.
Benefits of an Insulated Carport Roof:
- Thermal Shield: A high-density insulated core blocks up to 90% of radiant heat, keeping both vehicles and the space beneath cooler through Brisbane summers.
- Architectural Finish: A smooth, clean white underside replaces exposed metal sheeting, lifting your double carport from a basic shelter into a feature that adds street appeal.
- Quieter in a Storm: The insulated core dampens the sound of heavy rain and hail across the full span, removing the drumming noise of standard metal roofing.
- Built-In Services: Internal ducts allow for LED downlights, fans or power points to be installed without exposed cables or external conduits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Double carports often raise specific questions around vehicle fit, council approvals and design choices. Here are the ones we get asked most:
How wide is a double carport?
A double carport is typically wide enough to fit two cars side-by-side with comfortable clearance between vehicles for door access. Exact width depends on the vehicles you drive and how you use the space, which is why we engineer to your block and lifestyle rather than working off a fixed size.
Can two SUVs or utes fit side-by-side in a double carport?
Yes. We adjust width and clearance height to suit larger vehicles like SUVs, utes and 4WDs, so two larger vehicles fit comfortably without compromising on door swing or roof clearance.
Do I need council approval for a double carport in Brisbane?
Most double carports require council approval, especially in character zones or where boundary setbacks come into play. We handle the full council approval process from day one, including any relaxation applications if your block needs them.
Can I have a double carport with a roller door?
Yes. Our double carport designs can integrate roller doors or sectional garage doors at the front or back if you want extra security or full weather sealing. We design the roof line, clearance and post placement to suit.
Is an insulated roof worth it?
Insulated panels offer a more polished ceiling finish, which lifts the street appeal and makes the carport feel more integrated with your home. They’re also quieter during heavy rain and storms, and tend to look neater from underneath.
Single-skin roofing is a more budget-friendly option that still provides solid protection and a clean, simple look. We’ll help you decide based on your site, budget and design preferences.
Is this an off-the-shelf carport kit?
Not even close. This is a system we’ve designed in-house, specifically for Queensland homes. It’s only available through Lifestyle Patios and built from scratch for your site. Every detail is tailored, from the roof profile to the finish.
Can I extend a single carport into a double later?
In most cases, yes. If your existing carport was built with future extension in mind, we can scale up to a double without rebuilding from scratch. We assess the existing structure, footings and roofline before quoting.
