Why is a car porch better than a garage?

Anyone who builds or installs a home has a question about where to store the car and a variety of household items such as a lawn mower, snow shovel, garden tools, bicycles and so on. It is noticeable that the construction of large garages is still underway around Europe, but porches are also rapidly gaining popularity and becoming a common choice for settlers, as it can perform many functions and satisfy many needs. Let’s talk about some obvious but often overlooked advantages of a car porch.

Car porches are cheaper

Finances become a particularly sensitive topic when setting up a home. You are investing your money, you want to have a long-lasting and quality asset, so you are usually seriously considering various options.

Of course, it is popular to have a garage that is connected to a residential house or as a separate building. However, a house with a garage is a more expensive solution, and building a separate building may lack space on the land and can be really expensive. A cheaper alternative to such a garage is a car porch.

A practical solution for your car

It’s rare these days to see a family without at least one car in their household. Car serves us on the way to work, to connect with friends and family, to rest. And it’s a really expensive purchase, so in order for it to last as long as possible, it needs to be properly cared for. One way to do so is to keep it under the roof. In winter, the garage is a really convenient solution, because you do not need to clean the snow and ice layer on the windows of your car in the morning, not to heat the engine. However, car experts are increasingly noticing that such a significant change in temperature in winter does more damage to the condition of the car than serves as a comfort to a person. Therefore, car porch is a great solution not only in summer but also in winter. In summer, the car will not heat up so much from the sun under the roof, in autumn you will not have to climb out of the car in cold rain, and in winter – roof means no more snow removal.

A wide choice on the market

Car porch is a building that performs an additional and special function, the construction of which is a cheaper and more optimal option. Often the roofs are loaded with various household items that interfere with parking the car. However, in consultation with roofing experts, this building can become one of the great architectural parts of the house, making it exclusive and more interesting. A large selection of roofing architectural solutions allows you to create a stylish, trend-compliant house by matching the wood and roof to the exterior of the existing house.
