I don't know what a carport is either

It's a garage with no walls...just a roof.

This is a house with a "carport"....probably a regional term for covered parking:

We had screen doors growing up. Now I have security doors.

I love carports. People are actually induced to park a car there, not store unused stuff.

Some of my neighbors have them and yes, they do have side doors that enter the home from the "port".

I have a front porch and generally that's where deliveries land, but sometimes they are left leaning on the garage door and I wonder why.

I have a sign (handwritten) that says "Please leave packages here" that has an arrow and they know to open the garage door and put package inside, if weather's bad or leave just outside that door. Newbees leave at front stoop unless we catch them or go get the package right away and they see the garage door we come from, and then see the sign. Sometimes they park the truck out of view of the sign.
