Carports are quicker to build, take up less space, and are an affordable alternative to a fully enclosed garage, while still offering significant protection against the elements. They also carry the potential to increase the value of your property. But, the most important question when it comes to a carport is, who’s going to build it?

What are some clever carport ideas?  

Carports come in all shapes and sizes. Basic carports can be constructed simply, with corrugated steel and timber posts, making them structurally sound and serving a functional purpose, even on a modest budget. But there are plenty of ways to elevate a traditional carport. Stone, bamboo, and other bespoke materials can be used to build an architectural carport that melds seamlessly with your existing exterior to make an impressive statement while providing protection. 
Aside from the overall style of your carport— which can be Mediterranean, contemporary, mid-century, or classic — customisation is a great way to make the most out of your carport. Consider opting for additional features such as motion-sensor lighting, retractable roofing, or even solar panels.
