Question Carport built to specific size. Anyone do them ?

It would be nice to put a carport on the gable end of the bungalow but the area to cover is not regular. Ideal size would be 4.65m long, 3.50m wide at the drive in end and tapering to 2.7m at the back. Does anyone know of anywhere that might be able to do a "made to measure" one ?
I'm having no luck so far.
Thanks
JBL.

Build it yourself. if practical

Plenty YouTube instructional video s to guide you fixing to wall, legs, bracing, roof type, gutters and downspouts.

I would make it from wood mostly. Dig footings, pour concrete with mounts to bolt wood legs into. If you have natural drainage, great. Otherwise plan how you're going to get water away to current house drainage

Some form of corrugated roofing, either transparent or solid to provide shade

This is an option but for a variety of reasons it is not a preferred one but thanks for the suggestion, it will be kept in mind.
Cheers
