Now that is a possibility - would look okay at the side with matching roof tiles - can I ask where you got it done - local or national - cost approx. ?

That does look good, fits in with the flavour of the house nicely

Does it have to be down that gap? Could you put a car port in front of the garage instead? This is what I put up in front of my garage - love it:
It's a US based company so I'm sure there would be UK distributors. Keeps the frost/hail/snow and most of the rain off, but lets light in.

It was made locally by a man called Adrian Twig who is based in Somerset. HERE is a link to his web site.
He is young man who is very particular about his work. He hand made it in his workshop and actually put it together in there so he knew it would fit perfectly before erecting it on site. The roof was linked into the original garage roof with no join so it looks as though it has always been there.

Good to see skills like that still going strong.
