If you want to partially enclose a carport, there are several steps you need to take:
- Before you begin to build a new wall, you’ll need to prepare the new carport.
- Remove anything that might get in the way of construction, including garbage cans, bicycles, and other items.
- The enclosure size depends on how many vehicles you want to protect from bad weather conditions like rain or snowfall.
- You have to locate a spot that has good drainage and should also be large enough for your intended structure.
- The next step involves building temporary walls around your carport’s perimeter to ensure no gaps between it and its surroundings.
- A temporary wall is built on one side of the carport to help support beams while you build the roof.
- Building a wall requires lumber posts with plywood sheets attached between them at the top and ground of the structure.
- The drywall should extend from one end of the carport to another and be secured into place with a concrete block or cinderblocks along each post.
- Next is to fix the frames of your different carports so they won’t move while you work on covering them.
- If they aren’t fixed, they will move around while you’re working on them, making it difficult for you to cover them properly.
- Covering the walls with plywood creates an enclosed space that can be used for storage or as a new garage for your vehicle.
- Measure how large you want your enclosure to be and cut out two pieces of plywood to fit each side of your carport walls vertically between two sets of each frame.
- After covering all the walls with whatever material you choose, it’s time to get busy installing windows and a garage door!
