structure de type portique auto stable

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Works contract
This is a description of a villa in a residential area and is in the contract. There are quite a few typos and mistakes in the text. Here is the paragraph (the part I am unsure about mostly is 'auto stable.) Thanks

Note that "portique" doesn't mean "portico" here! This is about the type of frame construction used for the house. This sort of thing:

Note from asker:
Thank you very much. I was confused by that 'auto stable' and, in fact, I misunderstood it'
Peer comment(s):
agree Tony M : Though in this instance, I don't think 'portal' works, but possibly simply 'gantry-style'?

Thanks Tony. No, it's "portal", not "gantry". Portal frame construction is what's used for hypermarket sheds etc., but also for housing when a large open floor area is required.
