Check your area's zoning for distance away from the property edge first. There are metal carports that are build to bypass zoning regulations as the way they are built, they are considered movable if your zoning becomes an issue.
Check the UBC - Universal Building Code - for regulations on building a carport.
There are many questions to be asked before you begin:
Will it be detached or attached?
Are you going to have electrical service?
Is a permit required?
What type of material do you want to use?
Do you have a budget?
What is your zoning for your area?
