Hello everyone,

I am planning to buy a longer car, and now my carport is a bit too short. To be precise, the length of the vehicle exactly matches the length of the carport.

The question is how I might extend the carport if needed. I have already considered something like a porch roof. However, those are usually not wide enough.

Does anyone have any ideas or tips?

I don’t want to move or add any posts.

Thank you very much in advance!

What kind of carport? Wood, metal, masonry, wooden roof, twin-wall polycarbonate panels, attached to the house or freestanding, how long should it be, and so on.

I can't think of any disadvantage to the car fitting exactly under the carport.

Extending the carport would, depending on the existing construction, be a visual drawback.
Additionally, there are planning permission/building permit concerns due to the increased roof area (structural integrity, drainage, etc.).
