Carport to Make a Good Impression

Carport is a great solution for your car storage. However it is important to keep in mind that the carport is usually situated at the front of your property. The right carport can make a fantastic impression and improve the property value. In the same time a carport that looks cheap or dodgy can devalued the house.

I have been in the carport industry for many years and from my experience I would like to point on few important things when deciding about your new carport project.

First think of a shape. Look at the house and describe it. Does it have "gable" elements (gable is a two side roof) or does it look like "hips" (hip is a four side roof looking more like a pyramid).

If the house has gables you might want to consider your carport as a gable one.

If the house has got a hip roof, you might want to go with a hip carport.

On this picture on the right the carport has got a Dutch Gable roof (a combination of a gable and a hip roof). Typically it is commended for a house with a Dutch gable elements.

What is the pitch of the house roof? We always recommend to build a carport with a slightly smaller pitch, so it does not dominate the building. For example if the house roof is 22.5 degrees, you might want to use a 15 degree pitch for your carport. If your house has got a 35 degree roof, you might consider a 20 or even 25 degree carport roof.
