Car ports are different than most structures in that they have only one or two walls, allowing for more ventilation. If you are looking into steel carports there are a wide variety of options including single wide, double wide and triple wide. If you want to have a car port on your property, there are a number of design features you can use. You can have your choice of roof colors, doors and door sizes.
