Interesting carport, what would you call this thing?
 

I have been thinking of adding a little covered parking to my house and I think this one in my neighborhood looks great and seems to do the job. I have been trying to research it on the 'net but I haven't had much luck. I haven't been able to catch the owner at home to see who built it.

What would you call a parking structure like this? A parking awning? One sided carport?

Cool! But I'm a little worried on windy days.

A Parkgoda...;)

Cantilevered roof?

Cool! But not OK approved. That wouldn't last a week...

Cool. Cantilevered. Great style. I imagine it's not for snowy climates though, snow/ ice load might do a number on it, and the car beneath it.
I want that C2S also.

Certainly wouldn't cut it in the NE. I'd call it firewood.

After 4 - 6 months, I don't think I would put someone else's beat up truck under there.

Looks great but you have to think long term.

The support columns are under tension and bending strain which is not good for wood.
If it was made of steel? That's all together different.

I would keep things simple for your place. Standard CP with a support on each corner.

Unusual design. Looks very...cool, scary, different, but back to your question,

In Colorado, I'd call that an accident looking for a place to happen.

I think I'd go with #5,6,7,8 and 9.

Looks to be made of cedar which is a relatively light weight wood when it is dried out. However, I can't imagine surviving a strong wind.

It has been there at least 4 years that I know of. We don't get a ton of snow in Atlanta but it does happen (3 times last year) and we certainly get our share of high winds and tornadoes. I'm hoping to get more info from the owner but he/she obviously has confidence in it.

That a Magic Carport, of course.

An architect designed carport, and you know he/she used a structural engineer.

Wasted space.

A collision of good money and bad taste

What would I call it? A 997 CS under an awning.

MRM, I need to READ the posts................:>)

Looks like a dude leaning over to sh** in the woods.
