Covered Parking and Secure Storage in One Structure
When you need shelter for a vehicle and a separate place to store tools, equipment, or outdoor supplies, you shouldn’t have to build two different structures.

One Building with Two Practical Spaces
Keep Your Vehicle Covered
The open carport section gives you an easy place to park while protecting your vehicle from direct sunlight, rain, hail, falling branches, and other outdoor exposure. You’ll get dependable coverage without having to open and close a garage door every time you come and go.
Store More Without Filling the Garage
The enclosed end provides dedicated storage for items you don’t want left outside. Use it for lawn equipment, power tools, bicycles, fishing gear, holiday decorations, feed, household overflow, or a small work area.
Use Every Part of the Structure
Instead of dedicating an entire building to parking or storage, an end combo lets one footprint serve both purposes. The layout makes efficient use of your property while keeping frequently used items close to where you park.
Adjust the Layout to Fit Your Routine
The enclosed room can be placed on the end that works best for your property. You can also adjust its dimensions based on how much parking and storage space you need, creating a layout that supports the way you use your building every day.
