Carports are very popular with homeowners who want to shelter their vehicles or even store possessions that they cannot fit into their home.  A lot of people have questions with regard to the purchase and erection of carports and in this article we will discuss the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions regarding carports.

1.    Do I need planning permission in order to erect a carport?

In order to answer this question properly we would need to know your individual circumstances.  What we would stress, however, is that you should not go to the expense of erecting a carport on your property without checking out the planning regulations of your local council.  A simple letter to your council requesting clarification should be enough for you to have peace of mind on this issue.

2.    Should I build a carport myself or purchase a carport kit?

Depending on your level of construction knowledge, you may relish the challenge of building a carport your self.  However there is a lot of work involved with regard to design, sourcing materials and construction.  Alternatively you can acquire a carport kit from one of the many manufacturers making carports and have it delivered to your home.  These kits are normally easy to assemble and come with instructions.

3.    Where would I find a carport kit?

Online is usually the best place to start looking for a suitable carport for your property.  Even if you do eventually purchase from a local supplier the knowledge you will get from online carport research will help you select the best carport at the best price.

4.    What should I do now?

Firstly you should decide whether you require a lean-to type carport or a stand-alone type.  Check out your planning permission and then go online to find a carport that you want.  Watch out for the shipping costs involved if your carport is coming from a supplier located far away from your property.  Put down a solid base before your carport arrives, as this will make your carport a more solid structure.
