RE: very sad...
ORIGINAL: 4Rowdy
Here is a carport website.
http://www.tristatecarports.com/
We have purchased one from this place and are VERY happy with it. They set it up for you and guarentee it from the elements, and they have the heavier duty aluminum for the snow load purpose. We actually had to go with the heavy duty because of our 75+ mph winds we get and the carport doesn't even creek! Best part you can choose colors to match your house, like we took the whitetop with dark grey trim, so the thing isn't a total eyesore in the front yard. Now as for the city knowing about it, I think you will have to talk to them. The worst they will do is tell you to pull a building permit, shouldn't be too much for this. **They can't say that you can't have it because although it is anchored into the ground (4' anchors!) it is still classed as "portable and not a fixed unit". A garage is a "fixed unit". We are supposed to have a 10' clearance from our property line, incase a fire truck has to get thru, but because the carport is "technically" portable, we have it in that area.
Do you have room for something like this?
Hope this helps,
Good luck!

RE: very sad...
Check with the city building dept. as for the neighbors fence being there. Like I said since it is "not fixed" and technically portable, you amy bet away with it. If you can get your car in there , you can get a carport in there too.
