20 Stylish DIY Carport Plans That Will Protect Your Car from the Elements

Do you have to leave your cars sitting out in the elements because you have nowhere else to park them?

If so, then you are going to want to tune into this post. I’ll be sharing some of the internet’s best plans and designs to inspire you or help you to build the carport of your dreams.

Plus, I understand what it is like looking for that perfect carport. We are actually in the process of searching for that ourselves, as our new place doesn’t have an attached garage of any kind.

So we are on the hunt too. This is what I’ve come up with:

Why a Carport?

Before we dive into all of the internet’s best carport designs and inspirations, let’s discuss why you would choose to go with a carport over a garage?

Or why you would even invest in a carport at all?

1. Less Money

A carport obviously would be a much smaller investment than investing in building an attached or detached garage.

So if you are working on a budget, but still need a way to protect your car, then a carport might be the most cost-effective way for you to go.

2. Saves Your Car

Why should you invest in anything? Well, because it saves your car. The longer you leave your car sitting out in the elements, the more the paint fades, hail and other natural elements beat down on it, and it is totally unprotected from wind damage or snow and ice.

So if you would like to drive your car for years to come, then you need to take as good care of it as you can. This means that if you have the means to park it where it is covered, then this would be a good thing to do.

3. Looks Nice

Carports are actually a nice addition to your home. They can be built as simple or lavish as you desire. Not to mention, if you build it yourself, it should help your home value go up. We were told in our moving process, that any structure that cannot be removed from the property is counted in the appraisal.

So if you choose to go with a carport that is literally anchored in the ground, then it should count towards your home’s value as well. Be sure to double check with an appraiser to make sure this same rule still applies in your situation.

Here are Stylish Carport Plans:

1. Single Carport with Storage

These are very detailed plans to help you build a single carport with a storage section. Not only will this protect your car, but it will also give you an additional place to store anything you might need.

Plus, if you built it close enough to your home, it would almost be like having a small garage. This would definitely be a great convenience to have.

2. 2 Car Carport with Storage

These carport plans look like a nice addition to any home. It has room for 2 vehicles and also has additional storage as well.

So if you need room for both of your vehicles and want to add some storage to the outside of your home too, then you’ll want to check this out.

[The site we sourced the plan from is having some technical difficulties. Hopefully the plan above will give you a good starting point at least.]

3. The 3 Car Carport

This carport definitely has a different feel to it. First, it has the ability to comfortably hold three cars. This is a great feature to have if you have multiple cars, or even if you have a few toys that you’d like to keep covered.

But this carport also has a log cabin feel to it as well. This carport did not come with a tutorial, but hopefully, it will inspire you.

4. The Wooden Carport

This carport is unique as it has a slanted roof. It is also meant to hold only one car as well, but you could probably figure out how to change that if you desired.

But this carport is so great because it comes with actual plans that also include a materials list and great instructions too.

5. Shipping Container Carport and Storage

Do you like to upcycle items into new things that you’ll use? If so, then this carport could be for you. It is an old shipping container.

Then they transformed it into a carport with storage. It would look neat and be functional too.

6. The Wooden Detached Carport

This carport is very similar to what I would like to build in the near future at my own home. It looks nice and also simple enough to DIY.

Plus, it has room for multiple cars, which makes it a nice addition to most properties. So if you’d like a simple but sharp looking carport, then you should check this one out.

7. 3 Car Carport Plans

Do you have multiple cars? If so, then you might need a larger than average carport. Look no further than where you are at because we’ve got the plans for you.

So this carport has the space for three vehicles, and it also comes with helpful plans that could assist you with the build.

8. The Solar Carport

This carport is meant for inspiration only as it doesn’t come with a tutorial. But if you look close, I think most of us would agree that it is a unique carport.

So this carport can be made as large or small as you like, but the cool thing is it can also help you be self-sufficient as the roof is meant to hold your solar panels.

9. 26×26 Carport

I love this carport idea because it is one large space. This space could be multi purpose and an asset to most homes.

So when you need to park multiple cars under the carport, it could be there for that. Then when you’d like to host a gathering, it would make a great place to gather or even to have a picnic.

10. RV Carport

I can only hope that I’ll need one of these one day, but for those of you that are fortunate enough to need one, here it is.

So if you haven’t already guessed, it is an extra tall carport that is meant to hold and protect your RV. It also has additional storage space as well.

11. The 2 Bay Carport

This carport has 2 bays which means it will hold multiple vehicles. It also has an extra space for storage which is always a welcomed addition to most homes.

Plus, this design can either be used as inspiration or the plans can actually be purchased, if you feel you may need them. Either way, this carport is a solid and traditional design that would fit in on most properties.

12. The Lean-To

This lean-to carport is meant to be attached to the side of a garage or off of the side of your home. If you would like to have a carport that is attached to your permanent structure, then you’ll be interested in this.

But not only is it a great idea, they offer lots of pictures and the steps to actually help you accomplish this goal.

13. Double Carport with ½ Bay Storage

This carport is another one I really like. I love the finished wood look. I think it allows it to fit into most any home design no matter how rustic your home décor may be, or how modern your home is.

Plus, I love the fact that it can hold two cars since a lot of families have more than one car today. It also has a place for added storage which is always a great addition, in my opinion.

14. The Regal Carport

This carport looks rather fancy. It has the nice décor at the top of it, and it also is constructed from wood and brick, which is a nice addition.

So if you’d like a carport that looks a little fancier than most, then you’ll definitely want to check this one out.

15. The Elegant Carport

This carport is another one that has a nice finished look, but not so fancy that it wouldn’t fit in at most properties.

Plus, it appears to be functional as well since it has room for multiple cars. So if you are looking for a nicer carport, then this could be it.

16. The Pole Barn Carport

This carport is basically a pole barn with an additional storage space in the back. This is another example of what I’m looking for on my own property.

But I really like this design because it will fit in around most homesteads or country properties. Plus, it has room for multiple cars and additional storage too.

17. The Free Standing Carport

Most people do build free standing carports so that way you can place them anywhere you like on your property.

So if you need just a basic, wooden, free standing carport, then these plans could be for you. They offer simple instructions to help you along the way.

18. The Lean-To #2

This is another set of plans to build a lean-to carport. Though the other option gave you real life pictures, this option gives you plans and a materials list.

So maybe with both sets of resources, you’ll have a much easier build and end up with a great looking carport.

19. The Attached Carport

I’ve shared another example of an attached carport as well. This one is just a little more detailed so I thought someone with a need for detailed pictures, plans, and materials list might enjoy this version.

So if you are looking to build a carport that is actually attached to your home, then you might want to give these plans a quick glance.

20. The Freestanding 2 Car Carport

This carport is another one that takes on the shape of a pole barn. You can finish it out any way that you like though.

But if you are in the market for a two car carport that comes with detailed plans and a materials list, then you’ll definitely want to check this one out.

Well, you now have 20 different options to help you build your dream carport on your property and a few solid reminders as to why you might want to make the investment.

But we’d love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Do you think a carport is a good investment? Why? If you do, do you own a carport? What are the perks that you’ve discovered? Do you have any pointers to someone considering building one on their own?

We love hearing from you all so please leave us your thoughts in the space provided below.

EXPEDIT Changing Table

This is my first hack, it was rather easy and did not include any actual “hacking” of an actual IKEA product but the outcome has been very beneficial. As our daughter with special needs is getting older (soon to be eight) we needed a changing table could safely support her and be able to be used long term. While there are many changing tables for large children or adults on the market their prices rival those of a used car. Enter IKEA and a handy neighbor with tools and here you go…

I started with two EXPEDIT 1×5 white units and assembled according to the instructions. I really wanted to do a 1×4 but IKEA does not make that dimension, willingness to hack would have solved this problem but I had the space for the 1×5 so I kept the original dimensions. Lay the on the floor side by side, I didn’t find it necessary to secure them together as the top does that work. We wanted a height that would allow for her to sit down onto to help reduce the amount of lifting we would need to do for her, making it easier on her and our backs too!

Next cut a piece of ½” plywood to the dimension of the EXPEDIT units (allow room for vinyl that will be tucked) and cut 1”x 2” to around edge of the unit. Glue and screw to the side, be sure to pre-drill. Don’t be shy with the screws.

I visited an upholstery supply company to purchase vinyl and upholstery foam. The foam cuts easily with an electric knife. I used some spray adhesive recommended by the upholstery salesman. I went to an upholstery supply company for the vinyl (the sold auto and marine varieties) as I felt it would be a better quality than something available at fabric stores. I wanted something that could get wet and could take a lot of use without cracking or wearing. Simply use a staple gun to secure the vinyl to the inside of the 1”x2” side rail.

Set top on and use IKEA baskets in the EXPEDIT unit to hold towels, diapers, wipes, etc. I only used one basket in each compartment and store items loosely behind.

All together this changing table cost around $300 to $350, which is a drop in the bucket compared to what’s available on the market. I share this to help other families who have children with special needs as they may too have a need for such a table. If you are an IKEA hacker and know of a family that could use something like this please offer your services this would be a great gift that will provide a significant impact in their lives.

Wine Cellar Innovations: Why Custom Wine Cellar Art Is Worth It

Some things are really worth splurging on in your wine cellar project – like custom wine cellar art. Of course, you can always choose to have standard pieces instead. But if the budget permits, going for something custom is recommended. Let’s explore some of the reasons why:

Wine cellar art adds unique character to your wine room!

A unique piece of wine cellar art in your wine room is definitely one way to increase its aesthetic appeal. Even just a single painting or mural can really bring the theme together. Since it’s custom-made, you can opt for vibrant colors or go for muted, earthy shades. Naturally, you are free to choose the concept you want translated into an artwork. Scenic captures and vineyards are the usual favorites. But you can opt for something different, like famous landmarks or wine countries you’ve visited. Also, because it’s customized, you can also choose the medium you prefer. Acrylics and oils are the more popular mediums. However, you can experiment with other materials, such as mosaic tile, tumbled stone, or hand-painted tiles.

Wine Cellar Inspirations: Beautiful Wine Cellar Decorative Pieces

Tweet

We’re just a little over a week from bidding goodbye to the month of love. But that doesn’t mean we can’t continue to spread the love around – especially with wine lovers everywhere. And of course, when we talk about love, we also relate that to beauty. So today, we decided to share some beautiful decorative pieces for your wine cellar projects. Check them out and let us know which ones are your faves:

Stunning, custom Cigar Humidors

To be completely honest, we think that every formal, decent-sized wine cellar should have a cigar humidor. The After all, there are more than just a few wine lovers out there who are also cigar lovers as well. So why not house your two favorites in just one space? A custom-built cigar humidor designed to your specifications will make an eye-catching addition to your wine cellar. This specialized cabinet will be able to hold fine (and expensive!) cigars, cigarettes, or pipe tobacco. Note that just like a refrigerated wine cabinet, the humidor is usually kept to a certain degree of humidity. This helps keep the cigars in perfect condition. With a custom wine cellar already maintaining a certain temperature and humidity level, it’s a smart way to be sure your investments are made safe.

Fancy Tasting Tables

Now tasting tables are actually common accessories in wine rooms. But don’t go buying just any tasting table. If you want to add a more fanciful flair to your wine cellar, have it custom-made. That way, you will have command of the choice of materials that will make the table a sure eye-candy. One good example would be to customize the tabletop option. There are lots of gorgeous materials you can use such as hand-painted tiles, tumbled stone, and mosaic. But two of our favorites are the Vintage Wine Barrel Tabletops and Corian. If the budget permits, you can have matching surfaces for the countertops in your racking assembly as well.

Elegant Humidification Fountains

Floor Fountain

Humidification Fountains help maintain the ideal storage conditions in a wine room. Keep in mind that around 55-75% relative humidity, along with a temperature range of 55-58 degrees must always be maintained 24/7. These conditions serve to create a cool and damp environment necessary for bottles to age at a graceful pace. The best thing about these fountains is that they serve an aesthetic purpose as well. There are so many gorgeous designs to choose from, as well as sizes. You can go for the basin or tabletop units or the luxurious floor fountains.

Wine Cellar Inspirations: Adding Modern Twists To Your Wine Cellar

Tweet

Modern accents to your wine cellar can give it a fresh and unique look. You don’t even need to do a full-on renovation just to achieve this. These days, there are tons of terrific wine cellar accessories that will fit nicely into your budget. And we’re ready to give you some great concepts to get you started!

Cable Racking System
Add or switch to a Cable Wine Racking system

The cable wine racking system is a minimalistic way to show off your wine bottles. After all, what screams “contemporary” more than a minimalist design? A cable wine system made out of stainless steel. That’s why it’s perfect for high humidity environments. There is no need to worry about your racks accumulating rust. Also, for the wood panels, you can choose from a variety of woods, stains and lacquer. Here at WCI, you can even opt for a “blended stain” to go with the decor or theme of your entire home. It’s also easy to incorporate a cable racking system into an existing racking arrangement. So you can either just switch your racks out completely or add to them.

Aluminum Bottle Supports
Try some trendy Aluminum Bottle Supports

Metal wine racks will definitely give your wine cellar a modern vibe. The great thing about them is that you can mix and match them with other materials. That includes wood, glass, tile, and more. Here at WCI, we launched our Aluminum Bottle Supports with Finished Panels as part of our modern wine cellar line. These units can offer tons of bottle storage even in really tight spaces. Plus, the installation process is super easy – think DIY! The units come with finished panels that give them that sleek, contemporary charm. Set these bottle supports against any background and you’re good to go!

Colored LED lighting
Throw in some fancy wine cellar lighting

You can do this two ways. One, you can shop for a modern lighting fixture and install it smack in the center of the wine room. Think of of those modern looking chandeliers with a mixture of metal, acrylic, and crystal elements. Two, you can install colorful LED lighting accessories instead. This is a super fun way to really change up the mood of your wine cellar. If you check out the WCI photo gallery, we actually have several projects that feature these colored LED lights. You will also find that this is a less expensive alternative compared to doing a complete makeover of your wine cellar.

Do you have some more great ideas on adding modern twists to wine cellar projects? We’d love to hear them! ^_^
