A carport can serve as a good alternative to a garage, if you have a full garage or do not have the budget to build a full-fledged garage. It can be attached to a wall, or can be free-standing, and can also be an extension of the garage. Depending on the available materials, there are various kits that are now available to easily make your own - pre-fabricated, metal, canopies, wood and a whole lot more.
