Didn't know places did this, will have to look into it...although I am a couple hours outside of the city lol

Unfortunately this is what im kinda gathering the more i read...most are only rated for winds up to 40mph and require daily clearing of snow which wouldn't be a big deal...but sounding like I'll have a construction project on my hands over the summer lol

Pricing out materials to convert my parking pad into a small garage/carport...be about 14x20 nothing huge but will house the Z and have a little storage room

The good thing is a carport can be tossed together rather quickly. A couple buddies and lots of beer make quick work of it.

If you ever travel to the Montreal area in the winter you will see its very common for houses without garages to have a temporary carport setup in the driveway. I would imagine they would hold up to the snow loads just fine because they are setting them up for use in the winter to keep the snow off the vehicles. They are all steel tubular frames with some type of white plastic or cloth pulled over the frame.

The ones here are all metal roofing.

You might be referring to the more permanent shelters. The ones in Montreal are only setup for the winter then removed for the rest of the year.

Its funny because on some streets every single driveway will have them setup.

I did some quick research and found out they are made by a Quebec company so that explains why they are seen everywhere there.
