Combos
Combo buildings, often referred to as combo units or combo carports, are versatile structures that combine two or more functionalities in one design. Typically, they include both an enclosed area, such as a garage or shed, and an open carport. These hybrid structures are increasingly popular due to their ability to serve multiple purposes on a single footprint. Here's a detailed look at the types of combo buildings:
Carport with Attached Storage
This type of combo unit features a standard carport with an attached storage shed or small garage. The enclosed area is typically smaller and used for storing tools, lawn equipment, or other items, while the carport provides covered parking.
Garage with Carport Extension
In this design, the primary structure is an enclosed garage, with an attached carport for additional vehicle parking or outdoor workspace. This layout is popular for homeowners who need both secure storage and accessible covered parking.
Side-Entry Combo Buildings
Some combo units feature side-entry garages or carports, making them more accessible and easier to navigate. This layout is useful for properties with space constraints or where traditional front-facing units may not fit.
RV or Boat Combo Unit
These combo units are designed with taller carports to accommodate RVs, motorhomes, or boats. The enclosed area provides secure storage for equipment and supplies, while the carport protects the vehicle from the elements.
Barn Combo
For agricultural use, a barn combo unit includes a traditional barn structure with an attached carport or lean-to. This is ideal for storing farm equipment, feed, or animals, while providing additional covered space for tractors or trucks.
