I like your idea, a few pages back, To have the outdoor unit under a open air Carport or the such,great idea, Worth doing. A simple Structure, With a plywood roof would work well. Keep the snow ,rain and leaf debris from impacting its performance.
Probably 2 sheets of 4x8 plywood would be enough for the roof area.
I have a 10x10 Gazebo that stays dry and snow free easily all but 2 feet in.
