Q: Does a carport add value to your home?

• <div><p>While installing a carport will have only a slight, if any, bearing on increasing the selling price of your home, simply having a high-quality and well-maintained carport can improve the selling appeal to would-be house buyers. However, a poorly-maintained carport in disrepair can have the opposite effect and hurt the home's sales appeal.</p></div>

Q: 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>

Q: Is it more affordable to buy or build a home?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build new construction unless you&rsquo;re planning on building a new home yourself. A DIY house build will typically cost less than buying an existing house. However, new construction comes with higher property taxes, so long-term costs may be higher for new construction, even if you DIY.</p></div>

Q: How is a wood carport professionally built?

• <div><p>Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.</p></div>

Q: Do you need planning permission for a carport?

• <div><p>In many cases, yes, you&rsquo;ll need building permits for a carport. The exact laws and regulations depend on where you live, but generally speaking, you&rsquo;ll need a building permit for any carport that will be permanently affixed to the ground. Premade carports sometimes don&rsquo;t require planning permission or permits, but standalone and attached carports usually do. We recommend you contact your local building department to find out before beginning any carport project.</p></div>
