Whether you live in the cold and frigid north or the hot and humid south, you can find a variety of creative uses for a portable carport for you and your family. A cheap carport can be used for a lot of things... not just protecting your vehicle!

- Let’s start with the most obvious; you can park your car or truck in one if you do not have any garage space. You could even designate the area for a collectible car in order to protect your investment from the elements like sun, snow and hail.
- Everyone could use an extra place to store household items. Holiday décor, seasonal clothing and family mementos all need a safe place to go when you run out of room in your closets, attic and basement. Clear out the clutter and get organized with portable carports.
- If you have a handyman (or woman) in your family, they could always use extra space for a workshop with room to store all their equipment and spread out. Moving their mess out of the house or the garage can also free up space for other projects. The cover will protect them and their gear on a hot, sunny day, too.
- Planning a party? Do not worry about renting a tent; set up tables and chairs in your new space and the portable car port. A little sprucing up and the area can act like an extra room in your house for spillover party guests. This can come in especially handy when an unexpected shower threatens to ruin your party.
- If you are a grease monkey who cannot resist tinkering on an engine or switching out a brake pads and shoes, use the new place as a make shift auto repair shop and keep your projects all under one roof. You can even add a row of cabinets and tall toolboxes along one end to corral the tools and clutter.
- Green thumbs would love to usurp the space for their gardening chores. In fact, one look and they would love to transform it into a potting shed complete with a worktable and space for hand tools, shovels, and potting soil. It could even house tender perennials that need to be dug up and stored each fall.
- Speaking of gardening, the carport would also be a great location to store other yard items like the riding lawnmower, rototiller, snowplow and all the ladders that one accumulates as a homeowner. Freeing up room in your garage by storing these items here could mean that you actually use your garage for its original purpose: parking your car.
- When spring rolls around and the neighbors start talking about a subdivision wide garage sale, know that a quick spin with the broom and your space and will be the perfect location for your money making attempt.
- For those with larger dogs, why not make a modification or two and use your space as an oversize, luxury dog kennel. Your canine best friend will thank you for the extra room to stretch his legs and for the shade on a hot day.
- One last suggestion for a creative use for your portable carport is to use the space for overnight guests. Sure, it is not the Taj Mahal but in a pinch, the space provided with cheap carports would be a definite upgrade from a tent in the backyard.
