How much for a car port?

I am converting my double garage into a games room so I would like to have a car port built behind the garage.

I have enough space to fit a double width car port. The ground is already tarmaced.

Can anyone give me a rough idea how much it would cost (DIY or professional trader)?

    diy would be about 100/200 quid for plastic roof panels. and 100/200 quid for 2x2 timber for the frame. say 20 quid for fixings.
    or the scrapyard may have some nice 1 inch gas pipe to make the frame?

    pro car ports are approx 2500 quid depending on the size.
    Get some gorm.
