Hi all,
I am looking for some help/leads on a project to put a roof over by Sprinter Van. I have narrowed my desire to have a (attached to the house) carport cover my van for a few reasons:
1> I don't want to have to pour concrete, build another driveway behind an existing driveway, build a foundation, and build a building/carport over that existing foundation. Quotes ranged from 28k-35k, more then I want to spend.
2> My existing retaining wall is attached to the driveway with rebar and is pretty solid imho. The neighbor has some 25+ foot tall Leland’s that offer both privacy and protection from hale and the elements.
3> I don’t want a standalone aluminum / steel building on the driveway because I will lose full access to my basement, which has its own garage entry.
So ideally, having a roof attached to the house on one end, and posts attached to the concrete all on the other end seem like an ideal situation. The internet is full of pictures for “house attached carports” but I seem to have a hard time A> getting a vendor to answer their phone/emails/call me back or B> finding someone to come install one
Here is kinda a sample picture and vendor site (that won’t call me back) of what I am looking for:
Here is my poor van sitting out in the elements waiting to be covered properly.
Anyone have any suggestions / thoughts?
