Has anyone put up a car port?

Do you mean the sort that is cantilevered off the wall, with no ground
support?

Well, it looked to me from the picture as if it had a set of uprights on
thefar side and was fixed to the wall on the other. rather than being
catelevered but I am not sure, not having seen more than a picture in
Garden News.

They need to be fixed to 4 or 5 courses of good solid brickwork (not a
fascia) - so it's doubtful whether you'd have enough headroom with
most bungalows, unless it's fixed to an end gable. Even then, I think
I'd be worried about what would happen when it blows a gale.

Who would be fitting it - you or your energetic husband?

My husband . I want a place to keep the rain off my car ( and me) and we
have enough room down the side of the house if we move a small shed.


Is this the sort of thing?

[Some of these appear to have legs, but many don't.]

Incidentally, I imagine that the supplier would normally fit them
rather than just supplying the bits for DIY installation. It looks like
the sort of job which is much easier when you've got a team of several
people who all know what they're doing!


I think the OP is probably on about these, as they advertise in the
gardening press a lot (note to OP).
