How to Measure Your Boat for a Carport

Measure the boat on its trailer, the way it will actually sit under the cover.

01

Length

Tip of the trailer tongue to the end of the motor. Add about 5′ so the roof covers both ends.

02

Height

Ground to the highest point on the trailer: windshield, T-top, tower or antenna. Add at least 1′.

03

Width

12′ fits most trailered boats. Add width for a pontoon, walking room or a second vehicle.

Why Florida Boat Owners Cover Their Boats

  • UV damage: Florida sun fades gelcoat, cracks vinyl seats and breaks down electronics.
  • Rain: a cover keeps water out of the hull so bilge pumps are not running all summer.
  • Storms: each cover is engineered for the design wind speed at your address.
  • Ready to go: skip the storage lot and launch from home.

Popular boat cover upgrades

  • Side panels to block blowing rain, from $440
  • Gable ends, $225 each
  • 12-gauge framing for extra strength, from $210
  • A lean-to for a jet ski or a second trailer

FAQ

Boat Carport Questions, Answered

How much does a boat carport cost?

A 12′ × 26′ vertical-roof boat cover with 10′ legs starts at $2,790 installed. A 12′ × 31′ cover with 10′ legs starts at $3,385, and a 12′ × 36′ cover with 12′ legs starts at $4,235. Engineering, permit fees and sales tax are extra.

What size carport do I need for my boat?

Measure the boat on its trailer from the tip of the tongue to the end of the motor, then add about 5′. For width, 12′ covers most trailered boats; go 18′ to 20′ wide for a pontoon with room to walk or for a boat plus a car.

How tall should a boat carport be?

Measure from the ground to the highest point of the boat on the trailer: windshield, T-top, tower, bimini or trolling motor. Add at least 1′. Most bay boats and center consoles need 10′ to 12′ legs; boats with a T-top or tower often need 12′ to 14′.

Will salt air rust a steel boat cover?

Our frames are galvanized steel and the panels are painted, which helps resist corrosion. If you keep a saltwater boat under it, a freshwater rinse of the frame a few times a year helps the finish last.

Can I store the boat and a car under one cover?

Yes. A 20′ to 24′ wide cover fits a boat on its trailer beside a car or truck. Tell us both vehicles and we will size it.

Do I need a permit for a boat carport?

Most Florida cities and counties require one for a permanent carport. We prepare sealed engineering for your address and file the permit for you.
