This porch addition carport project in South San Antonio was requested by a customer who wanted the porch tied in with the carport. We custom designed the two so that it would be seamless and with fewer poles than if they were separate. The all steel patio measures 12’x10′. The all steel carport measures 20’x18′. The two are tied together with overlapping panels that make it all one single structure. Customer requested frame to be painted to match home.
About this porch addition carport
Many homeowners need both a shaded spot to sit outside and covered parking, and building them as one structure is a practical way to get both. Here, the 12’x10′ steel patio and the 20’x18′ steel carport share a roof line, joined by overlapping panels. Because the two sections support each other, the design needed fewer poles than two separate structures would have, which leaves more open space underneath.
Why a combined patio and carport works in South San Antonio
Texas sun is the first thing most people want relief from. A covered porch gives you a shaded place to relax, and the carport keeps your vehicle out of the heat, hail and storm wind. Steel roofing and a solid post and beam frame stand up to these conditions with little upkeep, and steel does not rot or invite termites. Painting the frame to match the house, as the customer requested on this job, helps the new structure look like part of the home. You can read how we handle that in our FAQ about whether we can paint the structure to match your house.
