Mid-Century Carport Idea

One of the items on our to-do list is to turn the carport into an outdoor living area. There's a gate between the carport and the road, which makes it a pain to park there, and since we live in Austin there's no snow to try to keep a car out of.

I ran across this image and it's something we might consider.

Half walls like that could give the carport more of an outdoor-room feel, and less of a people-used-to-park-cars-here feel.
