Comparison of timber carports and regular garages

While you need a place to park your car or else use it as an extra storage space, then you should better select for the carport. Of course you can use this place for a small sit up with friends when they visit your house or also make it a common meeting spot with the family members whom you think should be part of the decision making process. For example, you may want to give an overview of the importance of studying for your little ones or else explain how falling in love could divert their attention on the studies.

In such situations definitely carports would help a lot to make a private space for the individuals though the basic purpose of building them is providing the shelter for your lovely car. Now that you have a basic understanding of what sort of usage you can have with them, you should now be able to estimate the cost by self so that you can have a better planning on the same. As this is the best alternative when considered with the cost of the garage let us look at the details of the same.

Reduced labor costs: As the carports are not likely to be built up as closed structure you would be saving the labor costs that is otherwise incurred in building the walls like you do for the garages. Also as the process is very much straight forward like for setting up the base for the roof to be installed you should be able to come handy in the process thus reducing the amount for one man day each time you participate in the process. However, the set up might not too long like the garage.

Reduced time: With the reduced number of days in building up the structure you would be saving in terms of monitoring the job from the initiation to the completion stage. Also as there is less material involved in building the timber carports you may not have to spend much time in identifying the vendor and also should not take much time to source the material.

Reduced complications: As the extension of the existing carports from supporting one single car to support two cars would be quite easy as one need not have to remove the wall on one side of the garage then extend the walls and then again construct the wall that is removed for the extension. All this lengthy process is avoided when extending the carport with very little effort and little cost within less time possible.

Right selection of the roof: While everyone admits that the flat roofs for the timber carports would be easy to install still they have one big problem which is to withhold the heavy downfalls of the drainage for the rain water is not considered for the roof. Hence is the reason the angled or else the gable roof would be idle for the carports if you want to avoid the unwanted water running inside of the carport space. Also when you pick the angled or gable roof you are likely to add value to the carport and to the house with the enhanced aesthetic look that is brought in by the roof style and pattern.

Type of integration: Depending on the type of integration with the house like keeping the timber carports completely isolated from the house would help you plan better for the expansions in future, however having them attached to the main house would keep you confident about the security to the car as you could hear to the small sounds that come out of the carports in the night thus identifying any chances of theft of the car parts if any.

Please consider all of these points for building the timber carports.
