Carport

This carport was designed as the simplest of additions. First, a cantilevered steel and wood structure was used; it did not use the existing house for support, but allowed the joint between the wall and new roof to be closed in. The barkboard fence provides enclosure and wind protection at the ground, without paying for walls or foundations. The  roof is designed to fit under the existing windows and eaves, but also to meet the 2 in 12 minimum pitch for the roof system. Simple, economical, discrete.
