Also, do not fail to consider the weather conditions of your location. For example, if the roof of your home is color bond, then the roof of the carport should also be color bond. In addition, during the rainy season, the draining facility should be enough to avoid water logging in the carport. The carport can be constructed using metal or wood. If the location has snowfalls, then the roof should be strong enough to withstand the weight of the snow. Nevertheless, selecting stainless steel or aluminum are recommended, as they are anti-corrosive and strong. 4) Adequate space Before carport designing, you need to decide that what you are going to store. If the carport is going to be used for parking boat, then the space of carport will be more than the standard carport.

This will help to get carport and home look balanced. 7) Try to give the access to home directly Try to get benefits of getting access to home from the carport. Imagine if you have to use a car or get back home when it is raining. The direct access to home will give you a better option to walk thoroughly. 8) Conversion of carport If there is a time where there is no requirement for carport and you want to convert it into a storeroom, keep the carport designs keeping this in mind.
