3 Reasons You Need a Supplemental Carport for Your Garage

June 30, 2016/in ASI, Blog /by clickgiant

For many, an attached garage at your home can serve a lot of purposes for you and your family. Not only does it house your car(s) when not in use, but also as a place to store miscellaneous home and garden items. However, after years and years, those items can pile up and force your car right out of its living space. This problem is fairly popular which is why there are so many homeowners choosing to supplement their attached garage with a custom carport.

If you have found yourself in this situation, adding a carport in front of your garage is ideal. And even if you don’t have this problem, adding a supplemental carport is still great for many other uses too.

Having A Supplemental Carport Can Provide…

Additional Covered Parking for Your Guests

If you have a garage, your car is securely tucked away safely. However, when you have guests over, they usually will have to park in your driveway or on the street which leaves them exposed to the elements. This, in turn, means that anything they step in will likely get dragged into your home. So, if it is raining, get ready for your guests to come in with wet clothing and shoes. Oh, and don’t forget about the snow, too.

By adding a carport to the front of your garage, you provide you guests with covered parking that will protect them… and your floors.

More Privacy for Your Home

Besides the automobile protection and extra storage space, another major advantage of having an attached garage is the privacy. You can literally pull into your garage and no one will know you are at home. By adding a carport in the front of your garage, you extend the privacy you have down to the end of your driveway.

Extra Room for Your Growing Family

If you have children, you are always encouraged to think about the future and changes. One of those changes will come when your kids begin driving. As a family with limited garage space, you will eventually be faced with parking issues like who gets a spot in the garage and who doesn’t. With a supplement carport added to the front of your garage, you can eliminate these issues by allowing everyone in your household to have their own covered parking space.
