However, this puts your car at risk of undue damage from children playing, exposure to the elements and more. Instead of leaving your vehicle unsheltered, you should consider investing in a prefabricated carport. A prefabricated carport is designed and manufactured to be ready for use. You purchase them as a kit and simply put the parts together. They are typically made from materials such as PVC or metal. So why are prefabricated carports convenient shelter solutions for your vehicle?
