Introduction: A private-label carport program starts with a specification, not a quote. Before a factory can sample or price a single-bay aluminum carport, it needs to know the vehicle class, driveway clearance, frame materials, roof panel, color range, and container plan.
Locking those choices into the inquiry early reduces drawing revisions, sample mismatches, and repacking. The listed K1 platform gives OEM buyers a concrete starting point: a 5.5m x 3.0m single-car footprint, an arched roof, an internal side-beam drainage path, and a material package that can be written into a private-label specification.
Start with the vehicle and the driver's path. A 5.5m x 3.0m footprint gives OEM buyers a practical single-bay platform for many sedans, SUVs, and crossovers. The arched roof adds height across the center of the bay and helps the structure shed rain and snow. Public parking guidance such as the ADA chapter on parking spaces shows why bay width, door-opening space, and access aisles matter in real use. The UK Manual for Streets provides similar context for residential driveways, where turning space and entry angle often determine whether a car can use the bay comfortably. For an OEM inquiry, write down the vehicle class the carport must serve, the driveway width at the narrowest point, and the direction the car enters. Then add the overall 5.5m x 3.0m size, the required clear height, and the post positions. If the carport will sit close to a wall, fence, or garage, include that clearance so the installer has room to work around the frame. Also include the drainage exit point. The K1 design places an internal drainage system inside the side beams and pairs it with downspout components, so the buyer should decide where water will discharge before the first drawing is approved. A carport that fits the car but drops rainwater onto a walkway or a neighbor's property will create complaints, no matter how good the frame looks. Good dimension work also protects the brand. If a private-label buyer orders a bay that is too tight, the end user blames the brand, not the factory. If the bay is oversized, shipping costs rise and the product may not fit narrow residential lots. The goal is to fix a base module that covers the target market, then use OEM/ODM size customization for projects that need a different length, width, or post layout. That is much easier when the inquiry states the target vehicle, site limits, and container plan from the start.
Material choices define how the carport performs outdoors and how the product is described in a catalog. For a private-label carport program, specify the frame and roof together because they affect strength, corrosion, UV protection, and the final look. The K1 single carport uses a listed 60603-T5 aluminum roof frame, Q235/Q235B carbon structural steel posts and bases with hot-dip galvanizing, and a 2mm polycarbonate roof sheet with a UV-resistant coating. Each part has a different job. The aluminum keeps the upper frame light and resistant to rust. The galvanized steel gives the posts and base plates the stiffness and ground-contact durability needed for a fixed outdoor structure. The polycarbonate roof provides light, impact resistance, and UV blocking. Powder-coated finishes then give the frame a clean color range for retail and project buyers.
The listed 60603-T5 aluminum roof frame and Q235/Q235B hot-dip galvanized steel posts work as a system. The upper frame can be shaped into the arched roof and side beams without adding unnecessary weight. The posts and bases carry the load down to the ground, where moisture, soil, and splash exposure are highest. Hot-dip galvanizing with a nominal 80μm zinc layer helps the steel resist rust in that zone. The listed post section is 80mm x 80mm with a 1.5mm wall thickness, giving the OEM buyer a defined starting point for the frame profile. When specifying these materials, include the zinc layer, post section, and powder-coat color. Also ask how the aluminum and galvanized steel are separated at contact points, because outdoor structures last longer when mixed metals are detailed with corrosion in mind. The frame colors listed for the OEM program are full white, full black, and black & yellow.
A 2mm polycarbonate roof sheet with a UV-resistant coating gives the carport its daylight and weather protection. Polycarbonate is known for impact resistance, which matters for a roof that may see hail, falling branches, or tools during installation. The listed K1 roof blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays, so it helps protect car paint, plastic trim, and dashboard surfaces from long-term sun damage. The stated load performance is 50cm snow depth and 50kg/m2, which gives OEM buyers a clear figure to discuss for snow-country catalogs. The roof color range includes three polycarbonate options, and a PVDF membrane is available as an optional configuration with six colors. If a program targets a market with heavy snow, high sun, or both, put the roof thickness, UV coating, color, and load figure into the specification before asking for a sample.
Customization is where an OEM carport program either becomes smooth or turns into repeated rework. The K1 platform supports OEM/ODM custom size and color, so a private-label buyer can ask for changes that fit its market. Still, the inquiry should define the range instead of leaving it open. State the standard 5.5m x 3.0m bay as the base, then list any required length, width, or height changes. List the frame color from full white, full black, or black & yellow. List the roof color from the three polycarbonate options, and mention whether the optional PVDF membrane with six colors is needed. If the brand wants a different powder-coat shade, say so clearly and ask what is possible for a sample and a production order. Container planning belongs in the same inquiry. A single K1 set packs as 2.84m x 0.26m x 0.29m x 3 cartons, weighs about 200kg per set, and loads 40 sets in a 20ft container. Those numbers tell the buyer whether the product can travel as a full-container program or needs a mixed load. Include the target quantity, destination port, and whether the buyer wants a sample order before mass production. MOQ, lead time, and price are handled case by case, so a clear brief on size, color, quantity, and container plan gives the carport manufacturer the production details it needs and helps the carport supplier return a realistic offer. Kelemei Carports supports OEM/ODM single carport programs with drawing review, sampling, and container loading plans. The official quality guarantee is 1 year. Before placing a private-label order, confirm the specification sheet, sample finish, packing method, and commercial terms with the factory.
Choosing an aluminum alloy carport for an OEM program is really a specification job. Start with the vehicle and driveway clearance, then set the frame materials, roof panel, and color range. Finish by writing the customization range and container plan into the inquiry. When those details are clear, sampling, quoting, and private-label production move faster. Send your target bay size, vehicle class, preferred frame and roof colors, annual volume, and 20ft container plan to Kelemei Carports, and ask for a drawing review, sample option, MOQ, lead time, and case-by-case quote.
A：An OEM buyer should list the standard 5.5m x 3.0m footprint, the required clear height, post positions, and the vehicle class the bay must serve. Add the driveway width, turning space, entry direction, and drainage discharge point. If the carport will sit close to a wall or fence, include that clearance so the installer can work around the frame. These details let the factory check the base module before drawing or sampling.
A：Yes. The K1 offer lists frame colors in full white, full black, and black & yellow, with three polycarbonate roof colors. A PVDF membrane is available as an optional configuration with six colors. OEM/ODM custom size and color support is available, so a private-label buyer can ask for a different shade or size range. The inquiry should state the target color, sample needs, and expected order volume so the factory can reply with what is practical for production.
A：Include the target quantity, destination port, and whether the first shipment is a sample or a full container. A single K1 set packs as 2.84m x 0.26m x 0.29m x 3 cartons, weighs about 200kg, and loads 40 sets in a 20ft container. Also state the frame color, roof color, any custom dimensions, and unloading conditions at the warehouse. MOQ, lead time, and price are handled case by case, so clear volume and container details help the factory quote accurately.
