Protect Your Car with a Stylish and Sturdy Carport

A carport is ideal if you need a permanent and covered space to park your car, keeping it safe from rain and snow. Whether you choose a wooden carport , steel carport, or an aluminium carport, you will enjoy numerous benefits – and your car will thank you. No more scraping ice and snow off the windows in winter, and no worrying about the paint being exposed to rain, snow, and harmful UV rays. Over time, these elements can deteriorate your car’s appearance and value. While a carport is primarily designed to shelter one or more cars (double carport), it can also protect bicycles, garden furniture, or even a boat. Alternatively, you can use the carport as a patio cover and have a covered seating area, providing shade during the day and shelter from the evening dew.

A Carport with a Shed for Practical Storage and Parking

A carport with an integrated shed or storage room is a brilliant combination of functionality and convenience. The shed provides ample space for tools, equipment, a barbecue, and even seasonal items such as tyres and garden accessories - all in one place. This solution makes it easy to keep things organised while ensuring that your car and other essentials remain protected from the elements. A carport with a storage shed is popular, offering practicality and adequate protection.

A Double Carport Offers Extra Space

If you have multiple vehicles, a double carport is the perfect choice. With room for two cars, both will be well-protected against the weather. A double carport with a shed or storage room provides an excellent solution for those seeking additional storage space. This setup not only shelters your vehicles but also offers extra space for garden tools, car accessories, and other essentials.

Steel or Aluminium Carports Require Minimal Maintenance

A durable and long-lasting aluminium carport or one made of steel is an excellent option if you want a sturdy, modern structure with minimal maintenance. These carports are crafted from robust materials such as galvanised steel, aluminium, and polycarbonate, making them highly resistant to rust and weather damage. They only require occasional rinse with a soft brush and a garden hose to keep them looking great year after year. If you have a carport with a polycarbonate roof, fallen leaves and debris may accumulate over time, so occasional cleaning will help maintain its pristine appearance.

Carports with Side Panels for Extra Protection

A carport with side panels enhances the look of your property and provides additional protection for your vehicle. This enclosed design creates a more defined and stylish appearance. Alternatively, planting shrubs or climbing plants along the sides of your carport can add a natural and decorative touch. Side panels made of metal or other sturdy materials are an excellent choice if your carport is in a windy location or close to neighbours, where extra privacy is beneficial. Some of our carports with side panels also feature decorative patterns, elevating them beyond a standard carport into a stylish architectural element.

Wooden Carports is a Natural and Timeless Choice

A wooden carport offers a classic, elegant look that complements modern and traditional homes. Our wooden carport come in prefabricated kits, designed for easy assembly with standard tools and no specialised expertise. However, as some parts can be heavy, it’s always a good idea to have an extra pair of hands to help with the setup. We recommend treating the wood with a high-quality wood preservative to ensure longevity. You can opt for a natural, transparent finish or paint your carport in a colour that matches your home. This applies to both standard wooden carports and those with an integrated storage shed.

Carport or garage – Which Should You Choose?

A carport is often a more budget-friendly solution than a garage. Unlike an enclosed garage, it is also easier to position, allowing access from multiple sides. While a garage provides complete enclosure, keeping your car and belongings secure, a carport offers an open and airy design that protects your vehicle from rain, snow, and, to some extent, UV rays. Additionally, carports are generally more straightforward and quicker to install, requiring less construction work and space. While a garage provides a lockable storage area, a carport offers convenient, hassle-free access.

Choose the Right Foundation for Your Carport

A stable and durable foundation is crucial for ensuring the longevity of your carport. Our carports can be installed on various types of foundations, including paving stones, concrete, or compacted gravel, providing a solid base and prolonging the structure’s lifespan. Ensuring the foundation is level and secure is essential, particularly in areas prone to strong winds. A well-prepared foundation simplifies the assembly process and guarantees a stable result. Consulting a professional is always a good idea if you are unsure which foundation type is best for your location.
