What's The Best Carport Flooring?

By Paige Cerulli Created: October, 2022

If you don’t have a garage or need extra storage for a vehicle or other items, you can easily construct a carport by your home. While it’s important to invest in a quality structure, the carport flooring that you choose will also play a key role in the success of your build.

Qualities to Look for in Carport Flooring

As you explore different carport flooring ideas, be sure to choose a product that offers the following qualities.

Durability and Strength



Look for a product that is rated to support the weight of the heaviest vehicle or object that you will place on it. It’s also important to choose a product intended for outdoor use that can withstand extreme temperatures and moisture.

Many of our outdoor tiles feature generous manufacturer warranties, which are a testament to their durability.

Drainage and Traction



It’s essential to choose carport flooring that will quickly drain water away, creating a safe surface and keeping your vehicles up and out of water. Look for a waterproof tile with generous perforations to help prevent standing water from pooling.

If you will be accessing the space in wet weather, then it’s important that you choose a flooring product that maximizes traction, even when it’s wet. That traction can help to prevent falls and potential injuries.

Ease of Installation



Choosing a product that supports a DIY-friendly installation means you can save time and money over hiring a professional installer. Be sure to carefully read the installation instructions for each product that you’re considering to see whether it can be installed over concrete or what site preparation is involved.
