What is required to build a carport?
The code defines a carport as a structure open on at least two sides – regardless if it is attached to the house or not. The floor surface must be a non-combustible material: concrete, asphalt or gravel, and should slope towards the vehicle entrance. These types of structures are usually constructed of wood posts, beams and roof rafters or light gage metal structures assembled by the manufacturer or the homeowner from a kit.
