Every car owner wants to protect his/her car however it is not possible to have a garage for every car owner. I this case the owner can look for carports as an alternative. A carport is an open parking space, having four pillars and a roof on top thus offering the car good shade from the sun and protection from rain etc… The carports are very effective since they are sized to fit the car's and free standing from home.

Carports are very easy to construct by using wood and pillars. There is usually a standard height for apartments while privately owned carports have various height depending on the owner's choice.

Like any other design, before building your own carport you should draw some blueprints and plans. Decide the height of the carport according to your car's and which type of carport answers your requirements. The roof should serve the purpose of protecting the car against weather conditions.

Even you have a garage, you might want to have a carport for your additional car, your kids' or renter's cars.

Another advantage of the carport is that, they can be enclosed easily and used as a garage for safety.
