ᐅ Carport from the DIY store?

Hello everyone,
we are now starting to seriously plan the carport and I’m wondering what the real downsides of a DIY store carport are.
About a month ago, we assembled two garden sheds from a DIY store and so far we are not disappointed – of course, the walls are a bit thinner, the wood is still drying, etc., but they look nice (thanks to paint) and serve their purpose.
Does anyone here have a carport from a DIY store? I often read about carport prices beyond 8,000€ – at the DIY store, the kit costs maybe 1,500€ (already a somewhat higher quality one).
So far, we have contacted a master carpenter who, despite an initial meeting, never provided a quote.
Good luck!

I’m not really familiar with the brands, so I can’t comment on that. However, I would also choose the more affordable option. Our carport cost about 2000€ (around $2200) at the time, a double carport with a storage shed and wooden roof. We installed it ourselves.
