Hello dear community,
does anyone have a carport with a masonry side wall? We would like to build one ourselves but still need some inspiration, and unfortunately, we can hardly find anything on Google. Maybe you also have some tips on what to consider.

Perhaps someone here already has experience with this.

You mean something like this?

Brick house under construction; man standing on the upper floor, ladder in front, open garage.

Attached to the house or free-standing?

On the property boundary?

Custom-built or a prefabricated carport?

Masonry or just a single wall?

Many are currently making it out of concrete...

I mean exactly something like what Alessandro posted, but with the difference that it would be a two-layer masonry wall. In principle, it should be built on the property boundary, measuring 9.00 x 6.00 x 2.75 meters (29.5 x 19.7 x 9.0 feet) above ground level.

We would prefer a lean-to carport where the left side is built with masonry and there is a masonry storage area at the end of the garage. Basically, an open garage without a slab in the driveway area.

A prefabricated structure is out of the question because we want to build something like this ourselves with friends, and concrete does not fit well with our house.

Do you mean a brick facing like in this https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/Carport-mit-massiven-schuppen.32071/ thread?

To translate: the carport (with an enclosed extension) should be positioned between the house and the neighbor’s boundary, directly adjoining both—attached to the neighbor with a masonry wall and leaning against the house; only the extension should have a concrete slab, and I assume the cars will be parked on paving. Keep in mind the maximum average height of the neighbor-facing wall is 3.00 meters (9.8 feet) (Note: this is NOT measured from the current finished ground level!).

Yes, exactly as you described in principle. I hadn’t considered using brick slips at all. Dimensions, the drawn wall structure, etc., can be ignored for now, but roughly as shown in the images below. We obviously want to make full use of the maximum driveway width, so brick slips might be suitable, right? Maybe 11.5 or 17.5 cm (4.5 or 7 inches) sand-lime bricks or aerated concrete blocks with brick slips (around 2 cm (0.8 inches))? We would probably use this for the entire carport.

Regarding the second question: yes
