Default Tiled ,wooden, open ended double car port

I quite fancy one of these, one of the tiled roof ones that are open all round for the 'normal' cars, does anyone know where they can be bought -or should I just get a builder/chippy in to make it?
Many thanks

i think if you look in the back of one of the weekend papers theres people advertising in there, but it's can't be that hard to do really can it.

I was thinking along those lines too-just need to get my thinking cap on and speak to my friendly local chippy

Screw a bit of wood to the side of the house, cement some more wood into the ground, join some wood in between and get some plastic sheeting from B&Q for the top/sides.

it's probably a bit more involoved then that but thats how i would go about it anyway!

i started this one for a customer this week . ive only put the end rafters in a center cos they are still choosing what to have on top. probably going to have the clear corrigated platic on it . when they have choosen what they want i will measure where the joins are going to be and then simpley add more rafters. its obvisouly got a slight on the top to make sure the rain runs away from the garage. very simply to do and yet it look brillant when they are finished can use bigger posts and joist for a better effect and stronger load bearing on the roof !!







i will post a picture off the finished thing up once they have decided on the roof !!
