I need to put in some car accommodation on my IP. DO I go carport or garage and also, try to put up a kit carport myself or get one done professionally???Also, fencing ideas and tips?[strum]

This is really about overcapitilization. If you have an expensive home gaining big rent you need to go the whole hog and build a big brick garage and fence to enhance the property. If it is an economic home in an economic suburb, you could buy a steel garage and have it built. Unless you are a really good handyman don’t attempt to build one of these yourself. I’ve seen the results of someone trying to put one up without the expertise. I think the secret would be to start with a level poured slab. Fence could be anything from a wire fence covered with fast growing Jasmine on up to scale. It really depends what you want to spend for what you will get back. Ask your accountant as I remember reading somewhere the interest someone was claiming on an air conditioner was more than it cost so it may even pay you to get a loan to do it all.

I’ll let you know after the weekend. We have just had a double carport in kit form delivered !!

“It is better to be inconspicuously wealthy, than to be ostentatiously poor…”Carport or garage and type to build, depends on property value, suburb and resulting aesthetics. Keep everything in proportion. I am “in the trade” so to speak (done many renovations over many years (30yrs) ) I would suggest that for the few hundred dollars involved get the professionals to do the erection, it will look professional to a tenant or future purchaser.
