I want to build a carport to fit my truck and another car that complements the style of my house. i dont want to buy one of the metal ones because i dont think it will bled well with the house. anybody have any plans for such a thing? im looking to go pretty simple.

Google Pole barn plans and incorporate roof trusses and roof decking and you should be in business.

Do you have a garage? I was thinking of building a lean-to (sp?) off my existing garage.
