Having your car out in the open air makes it susceptible to wear from harsh weather conditions and damage from the rare projectile. To have your car completely hidden from view you can have blinds put so that it is not easy for burglars to tell if you have driven away or not.
Flexible

Carports are easy to dismantle just as they are easy to install and you can move them to another side of your house in future.
