Throughout America there are a number of homes that do not have attached garages or that require additional storage space for families with a large number of vehicles. For some people the problem of where to park and keep a vehicle protected from the elements is a simple case of knowing what to do when you have exceeded your available storage and parking by filling up a garage.
All too often people run out of space because there simply is not enough space in the house to accommodate a large number of seasonal and occasional items. Holiday decorations, tools, and unpacked boxes left over from a move are just a few of the items that take up space inside a garage and usse up the area that is typically reserved for two cars. Adding to the garage clutter are gardening tools, bicycles, and sometimes exercise equipment that is used either infrequently or is too bulky to be stored inside the house. The dilemma that arises from the overstuffed garage leaves some homeowners having to park their second vehicle in the driveway or on the street where it might be susceptible to burglars and thieves.
The solution to the parking problem may be as simple as paving over the unused grass adjacent to the driveway and extending the path for vehicles to park closer to the house without blocking the driveway at all. With the driveway extended the addition of a carport can give the car protection from the elements that can fade the paint finish and do damage to the car through prolonged outdoor exposure.
As the garage provides a safe place for vehicles and stored household items that can be closed off and secured the carport adds a level of protection that allows homeowners the additional storage space of a garage without the added clutter being a factor to the vehicles that are parked outside.
With the addition of a carport homeowners are solving the problem of not having enough storage space within a home and can provide a protective covered area adjacent to the house where they are able to park an additional vehicle that receives the benefits of shade in the summer and protection from wind, snow, or rain in the winter.
Without having to add onto the structure of the garage or the house the solution of keeping a car off the street and away from would be assailants is a simple matter of adding a carport as an independent structure to the lot and saving tens of thousands of dollars on the construction of additional bays for a garage that would be filled with more stored items and not the vehicles that are intended to occupy the enclosed structure when the owners are home for the evening.
