More Space - you can use carports as outdoor porches if you need extra space.
Other Vehicle Storage - you can also use a carport as a home to boats, trailers, snowmobiles, ATVs, motorcycles and other methods of transportation if you don't have room in your garage.
Shade - you may use a carport as a play area for children or shaded areas for adults.
Organization - if you install a carport with walls, it may also serve as an extra storage unit for tools, boxes and other items saving you from renting a storage unit.
