The ideal storage for our car is obviously a lock up garage, where it is protected from the extremes of weather, and from damage or theft by shifty people. Unfortunately not all homes have big enough yards to allow the erection of a garage, and in some cases not enough space between house and fence for a car to access a garage if there was one in the backyard. While parking on the street is definitely asking for trouble, for some people this is their only option as they don't even have room for a carport.
If you are in a situation where a garage is not a possibility, but you do have enough space for your car inside your front yard, get along to a few garage companies that sell sheds and carports as well. You are not doing your car any favours leaving it out in the street or even unprotected inside your front yard. Even if you have a big guard dog that will keep unsavoury people away from your car, it will not be protected from the weather. In the same way that keeping garden implements safely stored in garden sheds keeps them in good condition, a carport will better protect your car than leaving it out in the weather.
While a carport cannot be locked up it offers good weather protection, keeping it free from damage by hailstones. Your upholstery will also last longer and stay in better condition because it is being protected from extreme heat and strong sunlight, so it is definitely a worthwhile purchase. Most carports come as carport kits that the owner puts together, and they are designed to be managed easily by the homeowner with connecting sections being pre drilled for convenience. Gutters and downpipes are built into the design for both available styles.
Choose from skillion or gable roof styles, depending on your own personal tastes. Both styles are practical and strong and offer the same protection for your vehicle. Gable roof style is often chosen by homeowners who feel the style co-ordinates with their home. No matter what you choose you have the benefit of strong steel, but don't forget to order the right wind rating for your area, and check all council requirements before starting your project. You may need to be a specific distance from your boundary or front fence and it is better to have this knowledge beforehand to avoid the inconvenience of having to stop work part way through.
Garden sheds should be one that is flat, level and one that is very well known to natural water-flow pathway through your property.
