    Studded walls in a carport shop?

    Your idea should certainly work as I understand it. One deal I’d look into though. The manner that your carport is anchored to the cement or whatever it’s sitting on. With walls added, there will be a lot more sq footage for the wind to push against. So solid anchoring will be a must.
