nice carport. is there any like this in indonesia?
Jun 07, 2011 @ 20:08:55
Which is best for earthquakes and rain? Lately, the weather has been crazy due to global warming, so I want to be prepared. We have a 2 car garage, but looking to install a carport for my son’s new car.

Is that carport sustain in sand storms?
Jul 02, 2011 @ 06:18:42
Aluminum carports kits seems to be the better choice for portability. Excellent photograph.
Aug 26, 2011 @ 21:00:28
I didn’t know they made aluminum carports. They would probably be cheaper to ship since they’re lighter but I would definitely go steel!
Aug 30, 2011 @ 08:57:12
I just want to ask whether these car ports are suitable for any size of cars or do you make it according to the client’s specifications.
Sep 05, 2011 @ 14:24:18
Do you make carports that can be dismantled?
Sep 17, 2011 @ 11:06:14
This is the first time i have seem any CarPort blog. I enjoyed checking your posts!
Sep 21, 2011 @ 06:48:13
I want to install metal carports for my car. Can anybody help me out?
Sep 22, 2011 @ 12:03:33
The idea is really worthy as along with providing a good shed for protecting your cars from rain, hailstones etc, it also give a modern look to your house as shown in the photograph and I think soon the car ports will be available in a number of designs to use as decorative piece as well.
Sep 24, 2011 @ 08:01:50
Very nice carport, is there any proof that it can handle strong winds?
Sep 25, 2011 @ 06:58:40
A good design, how long this carport durability from rust?
Sep 26, 2011 @ 06:14:41
Carports are unique and cheap. Very useful in our households for us to clean conveniently.
Sep 27, 2011 @ 07:47:18
Really impressive car ports dude! I wish I can get something like this or trendy one for me as well.
Oct 01, 2011 @ 15:47:12
If that is a metal then what about temperature? I am afraid it overheated cars

Oct 13, 2011 @ 07:13:02
This is so good idea, but I do have a question regarding the designs as I wanted to know that can we order for a carport with a design made according to our choice?
Oct 14, 2011 @ 14:03:48
Pretty good looking carport right there. I really like carports using posts instead of walls because it gives more style to it, and more flexibility in terms of usefulness.
Oct 17, 2011 @ 11:08:14
HI,
Can we have it for multiple car. like I have 3 cars so can I have similar one for all my 3 cars.
Oct 31, 2011 @ 08:30:26
Hi,
Indeed it’s nice to have a carport over your car – no leaves, no snow in the winter if you don’t have a garage, but can you have a carport with posts and then add some type of walls on the side? I would like to buy one and I really like the posts design, but in the winter this would be a problem.
Thanks,
Alex.
Nov 07, 2011 @ 06:16:12
We always suggested this kind of Car ports when we have clients asking what’s the best type of it. We can’t tell how much it is but we do tell it’s quality. It’s a nice post, would love to share it to others.
Nov 09, 2011 @ 04:58:49
Well, it really depends on which environment you are from. So for me I’ll go for steel carports. We have tropical weather here and storms came at least 20+ times a year. A steel carport can widthstand this type of weather.
Nov 11, 2011 @ 12:25:39
Nice, I am getting one of these soon. I wonder if it is suitable for heavy rain?
Peace
Nov 12, 2011 @ 00:40:24
I was looking for this kind of carport.
Nov 13, 2011 @ 18:16:45
would it be possible to modify it to have a let say a roof deck to simply hang out esp if you palce has a nice view of the surroundings
Nov 14, 2011 @ 10:31:20
That carport look sturdy than our garage in house. I am interested if how much do you charge on building carports or do you have services like that?
Nov 18, 2011 @ 22:16:19
This looks awesome, itl stop those pesky birds pooping on my car and from it getting too hot in the sun. I bet itll be cheaper than a garage too
Nov 20, 2011 @ 20:25:26
Thanks for the info. I’m wondering if you have any options for delivery and/or construction, out of state. I’m located in New York, hit me back on my e-mail.
Thanks,
Mike
Nov 28, 2011 @ 12:57:09
thats actually a really nice design. Most car ports are quite dull looking
Dec 01, 2011 @ 23:25:56
Wow this is the first blog regarding carport I come accross online, great information thank you for sharing.

Great information! I really need to invest in a carport…the birds are getting too fond of my rooftop….plus all the twigs and what not are starting to do a number on the once shiny paintjob.
Thanks for such an informative, helpful article!

Dec 07, 2011 @ 15:09:25
Nice sharing. I have make simple carport in front of my house. but my friend ask me to make garage to make our car safe.
Dec 08, 2011 @ 09:36:15
I already have carport but with green net it does not make car so safe but it works, nearly i’m gonna create one like that
Dec 09, 2011 @ 06:13:41
Nice sharing.

Carports are really handy and can also help to cut down on insurance costs.
Dec 13, 2011 @ 17:01:35
i love these things especially when they cover them with those trees that create a dome.
Dec 17, 2011 @ 13:27:43
Yes, thank you for the good information. A carport is really a good idea. Before you hire can all use it without much work on its space-exactly what you wish.
Dec 21, 2011 @ 10:45:10

Growing up we had a carport and it served us well. It kept the car clean of snow, for the most part.
Dec 29, 2011 @ 01:40:41
Great looking carports – I will have to show these to some new clients.
Dec 31, 2011 @ 23:43:16
Nice post! I am from Hollywood, Fl area between Miami and Ft. Lauderdale and there are a lot of ugly carports down there, however, they are merely grandfathered as attachements to the homes themselves.
This unit you have at the top is by far the most attractive option I’ve ever seen without 4 walls! Looking at a piece of property that this would work dynamite on, but probably don’t have enough for the driveway. Nonetheless, this is a helpful start because a niche site like these are hard to find with good content.
Keep up the good writing!
Jan 09, 2012 @ 23:58:48
What an interesting idea ‘carports’. I’ve never thought or heard of one, but then, it isn’t like we get too much precipitation over in Idaho. Of a weather or feather nature ;P.
Feb 06, 2012 @ 06:50:29
I was feeling the problems at the time of install metal carports for my car ?. Can anybody help me out but no body give me the solution. But i search in the internet i find u and get valuable information.
Thanks for sharing this info keep it up.
Feb 16, 2012 @ 05:51:24
So true, it’s hard to install metal carports but you can always hire people who are capable of doing the job properly.
Feb 15, 2012 @ 07:04:12
I love the picture of the car port in this post. Its like a kiosk which can be used for other purposes aside from being a car space. I’d love to have one someday.
Feb 24, 2012 @ 07:02:58
You will Mae. I think there are car port services that are maid affordable nowadays. You just need to find the right company to get you what you want.
Mar 01, 2012 @ 16:35:08
Great looking carports. Can they be build for 2 or 3 cars?
Mar 09, 2012 @ 15:32:02
Carport is a really great idea if you don’t have enough space in your lot. Having a garage built can be really costly. Plus, having a carport wouldn’t limit you too much if you have plans of getting more than one car.
Mar 10, 2012 @ 03:00:09
I don´r really get why someone would use a garage. I think carports look WAY nicer and are vastly more affordable. Keep at it!
Mar 13, 2012 @ 08:44:51
I have heard that Carports are easy to handle and we can setup and install them anywhere while traveling!!! do such kind of Carports exist in reality?
Mar 15, 2012 @ 12:43:49
How much does it cost to have a carport like that?
Mar 30, 2012 @ 03:22:10
This is a nice carport. Most of the ones I see around the place are the basic flat metal roof style, which don’t look too good.
You’ve got a nice blog here, its not easy to find good information on carports and your blog comes in very handy.
Apr 01, 2012 @ 21:00:30
I am really glad reading contents on this blog site. It really helps a lot of people who are interested in metal carports like me. Thanks for providing and sharing us your great thoughts and ideas, they are very useful.
Apr 11, 2012 @ 21:50:56
This will solve one of the biggest problem we have here in Miami.. Paint burning from sun on dark colored cars..
Apr 21, 2012 @ 14:46:35
I prefer Metal Carports as they just simply look better!
Apr 25, 2012 @ 22:35:28
Nice post, I’ve been considering a car port for myself for a while now… living in the mid-west brings unpredictable weather (i.e. HAIL)!
Apr 28, 2012 @ 16:56:58
Great idea. I will try build it. Thanks for your information.
Apr 29, 2012 @ 03:19:52
This is a nice carport. I definitely would prefer metal for ease of maintenance and I like the curved style of this one.
May 03, 2012 @ 21:25:21
From my observation and experience, aluminum carport is better than steel. I advise anyone looking to set up a carport to consider aluminum carport.
May 05, 2012 @ 15:47:59
Wow the carport really looks expensive. I believe it makes the property have a lot of value. It even looks like it can stand in any weather to protect your car.
May 08, 2012 @ 09:29:24
Are these car ports available in the UK if so I would like to sell them in my range.
May 08, 2012 @ 18:00:16
My grandparents had a carport growing up. It is a nice alternative, particularly if you live in a climate where extremely cold the weather isn’t that big of a concern.
May 15, 2012 @ 08:02:19
hii,
Thanks for the info.carport looks expensive
