You'll want to create some sort of sides for it. Maybe clear plexiglass?
Do you have an area around it to plant tall bushes? Otherwise you'll have to manufacture some sides.
The only way to prevent it is to close it in and turn into a garage. You can lessen it by adding material to the side you don't use to drive into but rain will still blow in the 1 open side. You can extend the roof which might help reduce the amount of rain that goes into the area.
All you can do is block it. Tall bushes will slow it down. Attach corrugated fiberglass panels to the sides. Lattice panels. Canvass fabric hung tight will slow it down. Can't stop wind and rain from any open area.
Add a tarp like curtain that you can pull down and attach in front of the opening
Install blinds
Yes, you read it accurately – patio blinds! They are not just a great addition on your patio but also on your carport. Patio blinds can prevent the chilly wind and flying rubbish from entering and hitting your car.
There is also a product called weather blocker that can achieve the same effect.
Hello Diana,
Fill in the sides and put on a door or Tarp Blinds for when it rains.
You'll need a physical barrier to block the wind and rain, an enclosure on the open walls would do just that. You will best know your carport and can figure out what will work best for you, many good suggestions from other Hometalkers.
Hi! A physical barrier such as lattice with an attached tarp may be your best bet. Or enclosing it. Good luck!

Home Depot sells polycarbonate panels that are very easy to screw into wooden supports to keep out the rain.
