It is possible to be stylish even when it comes to parking our machines. Nowhere is it written that your carport must look drab and uninspiring just because it is a shelter for the car. You can even throw in some color and make it as eye-catching as you like.
That is not to say that you should forget the main purpose of having one in the first place. You want a carport to protect your Carlotta. Okay…maybe you don’t have a name for your car, but you still want it to stay looking good for a while yet. So, aesthetics will not take over practicality. Take a look at the following carport designs:
Stylish carports that you can put up fast
- Single carport
A single carport has these few features:
- The roof
- The frame
- One wall
Simple enough, yes? Furthermore, you can even include some storage. You will, therefore, have a carport that has some space and if it is close enough to your house, it can double up as a small garage.
- 2-Vehicle carport with storage
If you need room for an extra vehicle, this is the one to go for. It has two pros:
- Space for another car
- Storage
This one would be perfect if you have two cars and also need some storage space for, say, tools and gardening gear.
- Carport made from wood
Wood always has the advantage of beauty. It is also easy to decorate to your desired taste. A carport such as this one has a slanted roof and is meant to hold only one car. However, if you are creative, you can figure out how to change the design to accommodate two or more cars.
With this carport, you get the following:
- Actual plans
- A list of materials
- Clear instructions
All you have to do is purchase, read the instructions and build.
- Shipping container carport
This is a fun one. You get a shipping container and convert it into a carport complete with storage. It is functional, neat and aesthetic. You could also repaint it if you want. Also, depending on size, it can hold two or more cars.
- The detached carport (wooden)
You simply build a wooden structure and buy a suitable roof for it. Since it is detached, it can be a short distance away from your house. The floor can be anything you desire including simply bare earth. It can also be as big as you like. You can make it large enough to hold up to five cars depending on how big your property is.
- The lean-to carport
The lean-to is attached to the side of your home or the garage. You will get illustrations to look at and even tutorials on how to set up one on your own. This would be a great addition for when you want to park your car for a few hours but you need to drive out to a meeting or go shopping later on.
There are many carport designs that you can find even online in order to be able to make a perfect choice that will suit you and your home, and you have the option of doing it yourself or getting an expert to set it up for you at a fee, of course.
