20' x 24' Two-Car Carport Plans - DIY, Permit-Ready, Open Post-Frame

DIY-friendly permit-ready construction plans for a freestanding two-car carport, drawn and checked by an ICC-Certified Building Official. No walls, no slab, no door headers - eight pressure-treated posts, two beams, a truss roof, and you are under cover. Every post, girder and truss bearing is sized to cited 2021 IRC tables, so you can build it yourself with confidence or hand the set straight to your building department.

WHAT YOU GET - a complete 8-sheet plan set (instant PDF download; print at 11x17 or larger):
- C0 Cover sheet, design criteria and general information
- C1 Post layout and foundation plan, with the embedded-post detail
- C2 Roof framing plan (trusses by manufacturer; girder splices tagged)
- C3.1 Exterior elevations - front and rear gable ends
- C3.2 Exterior elevations - left and right eaves
- C4 Building section and connection details (post notch and bolts, truss tie, knee brace, end beam, gable accent)
- C5 General notes, step-by-step erection order, and the fastening schedule
- C6 Complete materials list (39 line items, counted by the stick)

THE BUILDING:
- 20' x 24' footprint (480 sq ft) - two cars side by side, or one car plus a boat, trailer or mower
- 10'-0" clear under the beams - drive through either gable end
- Eight 6x6 pressure-treated posts on 8' bays, set 4'-0" minimum in 16" concrete-backfilled holes with cast-in uplift bolts - no slab or footings to pour first
- Doubled 2x12 girders bolted into notched posts; 4x6 knee braces at every post for a clean timber-frame look with no hardware showing
- 6:12 gable roof on pre-engineered trusses at 24" OC (by your truss supplier), 12" overhangs, architectural shingles, 1x6 fascia
- OPEN GABLE ENDS: the end trusses stay exposed, with a 2x12 beam across each opening and a matching decorative king-post truss standing on it
- Designed to the 2021 IRC with IBC 1807.3 embedded-post provisions: 30 psf ground snow, 115 mph ultimate wind (Exp B), Seismic A-C

BUILT FOR THE WEEKEND BUILDER: C5 walks you through it in order - auger and set the posts, let the concrete cure, cut the notches (the technique is spelled out), set and bolt the girders, fit the knee braces, set the trusses with two helpers or a rented lift, then deck and shingle. Every cut length, bolt, tie and screw is on the materials list.

HOW IT WORKS:
1. Buy and instantly download the PDF.
2. Print at home or at any print shop (11x17 or larger recommended).
3. Submit to your building department for a permit, and build.

IMPORTANT: This is a reference construction document, not a sealed engineering document. The post embedment shown is a stated minimum; where your building official requires it, the depth is verified for your site's soil and wind by a design professional. Verify all local requirements - frost depth, snow and wind loads, setbacks, and permit requirements - with your building department. Some jurisdictions require an engineer's or architect's stamp; confirm locally before building. Roof trusses are engineered products supplied by others and are built to their drawings. Design criteria and full terms of use are printed on the cover sheet. Finishes shown in the photo (black paint, stain) are the owner's choice and are not part of the set.
