Carport is all set up and works great. Seems to keep out rain and is indeed waterproof so far. Will take pictures in a day or 2.

Hi dude! This carport completely obscures the view of your car. For such a cool vehicle, you will need a hard carport that is attached to the house and a fence for it. So dampness will not accumulate inside and everyone can admire your auto. I recently bought a car and built a canopy like this, and a friend of mine told me how to enclose a carport. The fence was really needed to prevent the neighboring children playing nearby from damaging my car. Therefore, I advise you to do the same so that everything is in order with your car.

Agreed, but I don’t think our subdivision would let me do it. I made one myself years ago for my 300zx 2+2 and got a letter from the HOA. I think it was “no freestanding outside structures” or “Because we said so”…

I feel your pain; after dealing with stratas on my ski chalet and on a temporary rental property, I'm pretty happy to be on my 5 acre property that the neighbors can't see me on. :-)

Nice idea, but my neighborhood association wouldn't allow it.

Put it behind the fence. What you do in your backyard is your business.

I would never buy a house with a HOA ... I'm not going to be told what I can/can't do on my own property!

Depending on which state you live, you might be living under a freeway. No zoning = HOA

It’s all fun and games until you are getting ready to sell your house and your neighbor does this:

J/k ... I understand the HOAs keep morons like this at bay ... but honestly the person who does this kind of thing is a rare, breed, and not how my neighbors are, so thankfully that's not an issue ... but HOAs in these parts (in the rare "new" subdivisions) are over $300/month usually, and you get the use of a public pool and tennis courts, etc. (plus the protections listed above). If that's you're thing, then its worth it I guess ... otherwise to me its an unnecessary cost

Here in the South HOA’s are common. I came from Boston, so I felt the same way as you did: “It’s my house so go pound sand”. I still get annoyed by the HOA at times, but it is what it is if you want to live in a particular neighborhood. On the positive side, all the houses are well maintained and I have access to a swimming pool, club house and tennis courts I don’t have to maintain.
