Is this the right plan for you?

Most regret comes from buying a plan that doesn't fit your life. Skim this before you decide.

Great fit if you…
  • Own a large RV, travel trailer, or boat and need weather protection without the expense of an enclosed garage (16 ft × 40 ft open bay, 17 ft 9 in clearance)
  • Building on property with a pier foundation option — the design is engineered for this approach to reduce site work
  • Want an unobstructed covered storage area for quick vehicle access and long-wheelbase maneuverability (no interior support columns)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need fully enclosed storage to protect vehicles from wind-driven rain or dust — the open-sided design offers shade and overhead protection only
  • Want a structure that doubles as a garage for tools, equipment, or a workshop — this is a vehicle-only carport with no interior storage walls
  • Planning to park multiple standard vehicles side by side — the 16-foot width accommodates one vehicle per 40-foot length

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Post-Frame RV Carport

This RV carport is a 640-square-foot post-frame structure engineered specifically for large recreational vehicles, travel trailers, and marine vessels. The open-bay design spans 16 feet wide by 40 feet deep, with no interior support columns blocking vehicle access or maneuverability. A pier foundation minimizes site preparation while delivering structural stability on both rural acreage and residential properties.

The open-sided configuration eliminates the constraints of conventional garage walls, making quick entry and exit simple for long-wheelbase motorhomes and campers. A 4:12 roof pitch sheds water effectively while maintaining a proportionate profile, and the maximum building height of 17 feet 9 inches provides ample clearance for high-profile vehicles. The design prioritizes long-span efficiency, keeping the entire 640-square-foot interior unobstructed.

Ideal for placement adjacent to existing driveways or workshops, this carport serves as a dedicated preservation zone for heavy-duty vehicle storage. The utilitarian post-frame layout adapts to diverse site contexts, whether on acreage or residential lots, and delivers reliable overhead protection without the infrastructure demands of a fully conditioned garage.
