What are common materials used in constructing a wood carport?

• <div><p>Wood, cedar, pressure-treated pine, and redwood are commonly used. They offer durability and natural beauty suitable for outdoor structures.</p></div>

What size lumber is used for rafters?

• <div><p>Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.</p></div>

What kind of woodwork does a carpenter do?

• <div><p>A carpenter typically does woodwork involved in constructing a home or other building, such as framing, installing sheathing, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-install-kitchen-cabinets.htm">hanging kitchen cabinets</a>, and installing trusses. These tasks are different from the focus of a woodworker, who typically does the finer interior detailed woodwork such as trim and moldings. </p></div>

Is it more affordable to build your own carport?

• <div><p>Yes, in all cases, it should be more affordable to build your own carport than it would be to hire a professional to do the work. The material costs can sometimes cost a little more through a professional because they can mark it up for delivery and procurement costs. You’ll also save hundreds or thousands on labor fees if you install your carport yourself.</p></div>

Is Trex stronger than wood?

• <div><p>Trex is not stronger than wood, but it lasts longer than wood and is heavier. Trex holds up well to the elements and is resistant to termites thanks to its resilient composition of plastic, reclaimed wood, and sawdust. Trex decking is rot and warp-resistant, making it especially useful in areas that experience a lot of snow and rain. </p></div>
