carport

Open-sided garage

A carport is a shelter for a car, typically a roof supported by posts attached to or near a house.

Unlike a garage, a carport has no walls or door—it protects vehicles from sun and rain but not from theft or wind-blown debris.

We pulled into the carport during the storm.
