The Austin Carport Dilemma

In Austin, carports and driveways make our busy modern lives convenient. At the end of the day, our vehicles come home to a nice sunny spot to rest.

And sometimes that Austin carport is WAAAAY too sunny. Or snowy.

Other hazards that may plague your car or truck:

  • Hail. Austin gets a lot of hail, and we suffer some very nasty storms.
  • Those storms also bring a lot of falling branches and tree limbs. There’s a reason we had a winter storm in February 2023 that was called “treemageddon.”
  • Bird poop.
  • UV damage from the Texas sun, which leads to finish failure and rust.
  • General debris and dust that takes the shine out of your travels.


These are hazards that destroy cars, make your commute unpleasant, and chip away at your vehicular investments and your insurance premiums.

Your car or truck is one of the most expensive things you’ll ever buy in your life. Why would you let Mother Nature whittle it down in an unprotected Austin carport to a rusty wreck?

That’s why we build high-quality Austin carport and patio covers. Because they don’t require a permit, an architect, or a level foundation, our steel-cable-reinforced carport sunshades are the best value in protecting your vehicles. Contact Patio Covers Austin and find out how we can help.
