Carports have a bad reputation for being tacky. Today, though, we’re going to prove those naysayers wrong once and for all. Below, we share 5 impressive carport ideas that can really class up your property.

For instance, you can attach your carport to your garage to add some cover to your outdoor parking areas. And what could be classier than providing covered parking for your guests? How about covered parking with a chic glass roof?

Plus, this guide offers ideas on some bonus features that you can add to your carport, like solar panels. We’ll also give you tips on choosing the most durable material. Read on to learn why carports are a functional and inviting improvement to your home.

1. Use Aluminum

When choosing a material for a standalone carport, aluminum is always the best choice. An aluminum carport is very long-lasting because it doesn’t corrode like steel.

It also stands up to any kind of weather without warping, degrading, or discoloring. Plus, unlike other metal carports, aluminum doesn’t become too hot to touch under the hot summer sun. Besides that, aluminum is very affordable.

2. A Glass Roof

As for the roof material, glass-roofed carports are becoming very popular. And, like aluminum, glass is very durable and weather resistant.

This also allows better lighting in your covered parking areas. Additionally, you can tint the glass if the sun overhead gets too bright.

3. A Solar Roof

Speaking of the bright sun, solar panel roofing can be a better option for very sunny locations. The energy you harness can be used to reduce your energy bill or to light the carport at night.

This is also great for homes that currently have no ideal options for solar panel placement. That is, you can determine the best spot for harnessing solar power on your property and then choose to build the solar carport there.

4. An Attached Garage

Even if you already have a garage, it’s still nice to have a carport. That way, anyone who parks outside can still protect their car from the weather.

Plus, a carport that’s attached to your garage offers even more benefits than a standalone carport. For example, on rainy days, you can enter the garage from the carport without stepping out into the rain.

It also looks very tidy to have all the parking areas attached side-by-side. Speaking of looks, you can build the carport to match the garage’s appearance exactly.

5. A Supersized Carport

Lastly, if you have a lot of space on your property, why settle for a small carport that only fits one or two vehicles? Consider one that’s wide enough to fit 4 cars and tall enough to cover an RV.

Consider These Carport Ideas

Which of these carport ideas is your favorite? Whatever it is, we hope this guide has inspired your next home improvement project. To that point, please share these ideas with your friends and family so that they can be inspired, too.

Now, stay right here to find great tips on everything from plumbing maintenance to using a leaf blower. Check out our Home Improvement archives for all the expert advice you need.
