How Do I Enclose a Modern Carport?
Modern carports are typically constructed with an aluminum frame featuring a vinyl tarp attached to the top. The sides and back of the carport are typically open and are not covered. If you want to enclose your carport, you can do this by attaching additional pieces of tarp. However, you need to first find a tarp that is the same color as the one used for the roof of the carport, if you want it to match. Does this Spark an idea?
