The Benefits of a Carport

A carport is a great option for protecting your vehicle from the elements. While it is not as sturdy as a garage, it still provides your vehicle with some much-needed protection from the sun. A good carport builder will work to ensure that the structure blends seamlessly with your home. The team will also ensure that you have direct access from the carport to your home.

Carport Attached to Side of House

A carport attached to the side of your house provides a convenient spot to park vehicles. It can also function as a storage space for lawn equipment, tools or other large objects. Creating a carport that fits the style of your home requires careful planning. Start by checking the ledger to ensure it’s square with the existing building wall. Ledgers Ledgers are 2 x 6 pieces of lumber that connect the new deck to the house wall. A 2×6 ledger should be long enough to extend at least 4-6 inches past the top of the house wall and 3-4 inches below the bottom of the wall. Lag screws should be inserted through the face of the ledger and into or trough the rim joist. A number of structural screw manufacturers have developed fastener spacing tables that allow installers to quickly and easily comply with the code requirements for ledgers. These fastener spacing tables are based on the rim joist dimensions. They also account for the fact that the lag screws will be spaced in two rows. Struct...
