How To Build A Sloped Roof Carport. This roof, once in place, doesn't require any more maintenance that any other roof. Mark the rear posts a minimum of 2300mm (7′ 8″) above the slab, or finished ground level.
Or, you could put those posts in the ground on either side and have the carport straddle your driveway. Perfect design for protecting your car from the elements or to use as a covering for a cookout and picnic area. The 4″ slope to the roof of the carport is not enough if you are using pvc roofing.
Mark each rafter position onto the ridge board.
It is also meant to hold only one car as well, but you could probably figure out how to change that if you desired. Cut the side beams and clamp them to the posts, aligned horizontally on the outside of the carport, so the tops of the beams are flush with the tops of the posts. More than that, you’ll even have two options on how you could put up the posts for that carport. Using this measurement, cut enough vertical joist beams to span the length of the roof and create a solid support system for your deck.
