In some parts of Kentucky, carports are everywhere. They actually got their start further north in Illinois in 1909 where architect Walter Buckly Griffin used them in his design for the Sloan House in Elmhurst, Illinois. They were originally called autospaces, however Frank Lloyd Wright coined the term carport in 1939 when he used it in the design of one of his houses, and the name stuck.
Traditionally carports are attached to permanent structures and are built with wood to match the structure. These days, carports are now much more flexible. They come in a variety of materials including wood, metal, and PVC. They have several different roof types: shingles, steel, aluminum, tarps, etc. Best of all, they’re not permanent anymore. Now they come in many portable options. They have carports that are so easy to setup and take down that doing so is a one person job. Also because of their portability they can be setup anywhere they’re needed, not just right next to the house. Which means you can offer your vehicle the same protection on a camping trip as it would get parked safely at home.
If you’re looking for something inexpensive to keep your vehicle safe, be sure to research the possibilities of carports.
