common types of modern carports on the real estate market a bike shed type carport in japan dingbat apartment with recessed carports los angeles usa a carport is an open wall shed or roofed parking space used to offer limited shading and weather protection to road vehicles primarily automobiles unlike most roofed structures a carport does not have walls on all sides and typically has no door carports can either be free standing canopy supported by pillars posts and beams i e a pavilion or gazebo a driveway under a porch i e a porte cochère a recessed parking space e g below an upstairs room or an undercroft e g under a stilt house or soft story building or simply a large balcony or awning overhanging above the car space compared to the fully enclosed garages carports offer less sheltering from rain snow hail and frost but are cheaper to build and allow for more ventilation in particular a carport can reduce frosting on the windshield due to more readily evaporation of dew condensations 1 a mobile and or enclosed carport has the same purpose as a standard carport however it may be removed relocated and is typically framed with tubular steel and may have tent like canvas or vinyl covering that encloses the complete frame including the sides it may have an accessible front entry or open entryway not typically attached to any structure or fastened in place by permanent means put held in place by stakes it is differentiated from a tent by its main purpose to house vehicles and or motorized equipment a tent is to shelter people citation needed history edit the term carport comes from the french term porte cochère referring to a covered portal renowned architect frank lloyd wright coined the term when he used a carport in the first of his usonian home designs the house of herbert jacobs built in 1936 in madison wisconsin 2 quoting from the carport integrity policy for the arizona state historic preservation office 3 as early as 1909 carports were used by the prairie school architect walter burley griffin in his design for the sloane house in elmhurst illinois gebhard 1991 110 4 by 1913 carports were also being employed by other prairie school architects such as the minneapolis firm of purcell feick elmslie in their design for a residence at lockwood lake wisconsin in this instance the carport was termed an auto space gebhard 1991 110 4 the late architectural historian david gebhard suggested that the term carport originated from the feature s use in 1930s streamline moderne residences gebhard 1991 107 4 this term which entered popular jargon in 1939 stemmed from the visual connection between these streamlined residences and nautical imagery in the 1930s through the 1950s carports were also being used by frank lloyd wright in his usonian houses an idea that he may have gotten from griffin a former associate the w b sloane house in elmhurst illinois in 1910 is credited as being the first known home designed with a carport 5 6 in describing the carport to mr jacobs architect wright said a car is not a horse and it doesn t need a barn he then added cars are built well enough now so that they do not require elaborate shelter cars prior to this time were not completely water tight the era of robotic assembly advanced materials and perfect closure lines was still 50 years in the future the carport was therefore a cheap and effective device for protecting a car mr jacobs added our cheap second hand car had stood out all winter at the curb often in weather far below zero fahrenheit a carport was a downright luxury for it carport components edit carports are composed of several essential parts that contribute to their structural integrity and functionality the primary components include frame the supporting structure of a carport typically made from steel aluminum or wood it provides stability and determines the overall durability of the carport roof panels these panels protect vehicles from the elements they are commonly constructed from metal polycarbonate or fabric materials depending on the design and intended use leg posts the vertical supports that hold up the carport roof available in different thicknesses and materials to support various load capacities anchors used to secure the carport to the ground anchors help stabilize the structure against wind and other environmental factors different types include rebar anchors mobile home anchors and concrete anchors gables and side panels optional features that add additional protection and aesthetic appeal by partially enclosing the sides or ends of the carport carports may also include additional features such as gutters for drainage braces for extra support and enclosures to convert them into partially or fully enclosed spaces 7 solar canopy edit solar canopy parking lot in new haven at hotel marcel there are ev level 2 chargers underneath the canopy and a 12 stall tesla supercharger behind solar canopies over a high school parking lot a solar canopy carport is a structure that elevates an array of photovoltaic panels above ground level so that the area under the panels can be used for other purposes many solar canopies are built over parking lots where in addition to generating renewable power they also protect the cars from sun rain and snow when the lot is not needed for parking the covered area can be used for other purposes 8 references edit look up carport in wiktionary the free dictionary wikimedia commons has media related to carports re why does your car windshield not frost over when parked under a
