Canvas carports are actually available in polyester and polyethylene, but they are referred to as canvas carports.

Canvas Carports come with two strong advantages. Compared to other carport types, they have a huge difference with regards to cost and convenience. Cost difference could vary as much as $1000. A regular metal carport would cost around $2000 to $2500; canvas carports barely reach $500.

Plus they are easy to set, can be located almost everywhere and requires the least muscle to prepare. Some can even be installed within the day.
