I just bought a new to me used car and I don't want is dented up by hail and tree limbs. Does anyone know how I can make a 18 x 20 carport on the side of my house that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg but still be sturdy and attractive? If any ideas exist please let me know.
Thank you, thank you.

Home Depot and Lowe's sells portable carports. And depending on an area that you live in you may install one right to your roof over your driveway without needing permits which can run pretty expensive.

My folks used coragated fiber glass for a roof .. worked great and its still standing 20 odd years later .. all you need is some framing .

OH and they used green ( for the shade) fiber glass and the white ones where they might need a little more light .

my neighbor used regular pipe to build the structure and used a tarp to cover. attached to the building for stability.

check for online carport pvc pipe. if you need it for shade only, shade cloth in a 80% works well, to keep rain off- tarps.
