If you’ve decided that you want to have a carport built on your property, you’re not limited to one style or size. In fact, car ports come in a variety of different sizes and shapes and can be customized according to your specific needs.

Aluminum Car Ports

This type of car port is the most standard. When you build an aluminum car port on your property, it will consist of a solid roof and four beams. Although this type of carport is lightweight, these car ports are still considered to be very durable and are resistant to the elements.

Extension Garages

Just because you decide to build a carport doesn’t mean that it can’t be directly connected to your home. Extension garages are a form of carport that has three sides and the fourth side is one of the walls of your home. The roofs of these car ports can be slanted at an angle or completely flat, depending on your preference. 

When deciding whether to put a standard carport or an extension garage on your property, it’s essential that you consider your specific needs. For example, if you merely want to protect your car’s exterior from the harmful rays of the sun without going too far away from your home to get into your vehicle, an extension garage may be the right choice for you.
