Looking to build a 6m×6m carport. Preferably rust resistant material. The cheapest entry level material will be appreciated. I'm a pensioner so I do have time on my hands and a join together diy carport would be right up my alley . ( I've build many a carport in my heyday, so I do have the knowledge, tools and experience.
I have two cars parked (next to each other) under a shadecloth, which, as it turns out, was a complete waste of time. I would like to have the roof of the carport in line with, as far as possible, the top block of the vibracrete wall so as to ensure as little sun as possible gets in. The issue I have is the carport gets the south easter from the south east and gets the northwest as well. My concern would be the wind blowing the roof off if it got blocked into a wind tunnel of sorts.

I need to have a engineer that can develop the specifications for a carport design so that it will be acceptable to the Nhlambe municipality. The architect has already drawn the carport roof on the plan but I need a engineer to sign off on the detail specifications of the carport and then the cost of building the carport. Obviously the company that will assist with the plans will get preference when the roof is build.

Requires a new carport of +- 16 metres in lenght x 3,2metre in width. I prefer the structure to be from wood and the roofing of IBR sheeting. Roofing should slope down to the side. I bought the house with a carport but it was in poor condition and had to removed it, 4 years ago. I'm adding a drone photo of the house.
