Re: carport off existing garage

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Falcon981. It's brilliant to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about building a carport.

 

The first step is to check with your local council on regulations in your area. You might need to apply for a permit, requiring you to submit plans to the council. The council requirements for the build will dictate how you go about constructing the carport.

 

You might like to post some pictures of the area and provide details on the size and height of your desired carport. That would give our members a better idea of what you intend on building. Let me know if you need a hand uploading images. 

 

The size of the carport will dictate the calibre of timber needed to span those distances. Here's a helpful step-by-step guide on How to build a carport. If you can provide some images, we can advise on the best way to connect it to your steel-framed garage.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
