I've taken a car off the road for winter and would like to put a roof over it's head. The only issue is I live in a rented house.

My drive goes down the size of the house, and is in between next doors house. It's approximately 2 foot wider than the car and is a nice little tunnel to leave the car parked up.

If I could have free reign of the area I'd just drill a couple of bracket into my house and next doors house and put a roof over the top, but I can't really do anything destructive to the houses.

Is there some sort of extra epic glue I could use to hold a roof to brick? I can put supports the other side.

Why not support your carport on legs (like a table) and bracket the base of the legs to the driveway, rather than the wall of the house ?

Same problem, can't really drill into the drive... however massive sandbags might help biggrin

OK bracket the legs to some timber layed horizontally on the ground and then park the car on top of the timber to weigh it all down.
