Why the open carports?

Why are open-style carports so popular?

1. Effective Cost Savings:

Significantly cheaper than a garage:
Less construction (three walls), no main gate, materials and labor costs are halved. An average family can save up for two months to build a sturdy carport, much more practical than emptying their wallet to build a garage.
Nearly Zero Maintenance: No more rotting door frames or peeling paint. If the canopy is sloped enough, rainwater will automatically wash away leaves, saving time and effort.

2. Good Ventilation and Comfort:

No more sauna-like conditions in summer: With all four sides open, you can enter your car half an hour after turning off the engine. While a closed garage is like an oven, an open carport allows for cross ventilation, providing a comfortable, shaded environment.
Excellent Moisture and Mold Prevention: Especially during the rainy season in southern China, the humidity dissipates quickly in an open carport, preventing mushroom growth like in a garage.

3. Flexible, functional, and space-saving:

Transform your yard into a multi-functional area in an instant: → Park your car in the morning to shield it from dew, and in the afternoon, fold up the table for tea and conversation. → Kids can ride bikes, your spouse can dry vegetables—the space under the carport can easily switch between different scenarios.
Easy to move or remodel: Want to move sometime? Simply remove the pillars and move the canopy; unlike demolishing a garage, which requires breaking walls and digging.

4. Sufficient and valuable roof:

Solid basic sun and rain protection: The canopy blocks 90% of the sun and rain, keeping your car interior cool and reducing the frequency of car washes.
Perfect partner for solar panels: Flat-roofed carports are ideal for mounting solar panels—generating electricity for your own use and charging your electric vehicle, saving you money while enjoying the sunshine.

5. Fewer neighborhood disputes:

No blocked light or obstruction: The low, open carport doesn't affect neighbors' access to light, feels more spacious than a closed garage, and reduces potential issues with property management. Less hassle in construction and design: Many places have relaxed approval processes for small-sized open carports, saving you the trouble of running around to different departments to get stamps.
