Thank you - you actually walk through this tube to get to the front door of the office from the parking lot. It is attached to the building and self supported and sits on the ground. It has a flat walk in it that is about 5' to 6' wide. It looks like a piece of pipe that is sitting on its side on the ground and has settled in just enough to create a flat walk, if this makes any sense.

If the tube is not suspended and open on the sides I do not think it will qualify as a canopy or porte-cochere.If the floor is flat and hard storage could be problem, even if you asked the local AHJ and get approval a change in reviewer can stop your project.
