Which sheet material and frame would make the cheapest carport? Three-sided with a roof. Looks are unimportant as it will be out of site. Any pointers gratefully received. Cheers.
How about this for starters

Ill be impressed if your sides are more than the cardboard packing the kit came in for 18 quid to make a 3 sided carport under 300quid unfitgeezer.
4x4 uprights concreated into ground ( or bolted if temporary structure)
4x2framing timber for the roof members
Corrugated plastic sheet for roof
Ply walls
Id make it 2 sided rather than 3 otherwise you will just have a wind trap that trys to destroy your carport at every chance.
I'm not buying one OP asked for cheap that's what Google spat out
As trail rat says three sides and a roof is asking for trouble wind wise.
Don't people sell garages etc that they've disassembled on ebay?
check gumtree also , you can pick up concrete sectionals for "removal" if you dont mind taking the asbestos roof to the tip (check your local tip rules first before you get stuck with the roof.
