A carport canopy is a structure designed to provide shelter for vehicles, typically cars, trucks, or recreational vehicles (RVs), by offering overhead protection from weather elements such as rain, snow, hail, and sun exposure. It consists of a roof supported by columns or posts, with open sides that allow for easy access and ventilation. Carport canopies can be freestanding or attached to existing structures like homes or buildings, offering flexibility in placement and usage.
