ABSTRACT:
A carport enclosure built around an existing carport. The carport itself includes a plurality of carport support posts secured upright by respective footings and a roof supported by the support posts and overhanging the support posts. Enclosure posts, supported upright by footings, are positioned outboard of the carport support posts. A first side or end wall is attached to and supported by at least one of the enclosure posts, disposed underneath the roof and extends at least substantially up thereto so as to appear to be an integral side wall. Similarly, a second side or end wall is attached to and supported by at least one of the enclosure posts, disposed underneath an opposite side of the roof and extends at least substantially up thereto so as to appear to be an integral side wall. A rear wall is attached to and supported by at least one of the enclosure posts so as to appear to be an integral rear wall. And a segmented roll-up garage door supported by at least two of the enclosure posts is operatively moveable between an open position generally up into the carport for entry of a vehicle(s) into the carport and a door closed position. The garage door forms part of a front wall which also extends up to the roof. In other words, the end and rear walls, which can have a latticework construction, and the front roll-up garage door wall are structurally independent of the carport. However, because of their proximity relative to the carport roof, the enclosure construction together with the carport advantageously give the appearance of an integral garage-like construction and has similar enclosure advantages.
