Looking at the one in Corby before the collapse, the end of the
canopy closest to the road has virtually no bricks above the support.

But it had an extended bracket below.

Both of the collapsed ones might have survived if fitted on such long
brackets all the way along e.g.

I don't see the point in going to that much trouble to cantilever it
when the carport normally has the outer end at the fence and the
fence is where the support verticals would be.
