The car dry, the driveway calm
Carports
A carport is the most affordable structure to keep your car dry and frost-free — and in timber it is also the calmest. We build it in the same style as the rest of your property, so it never becomes a stand-alone sculpture.
What you get
Carports in solid timber
For one car we allow a width of about 3.50 metres and a length of 5.50 metres. For two cars side by side that becomes 6.00 by 5.50 metres. Want a store or bike shelter behind it? Then we add one and a half to two metres — much cheaper than a separate shed later on.
The roofing is usually EPDM on a spruce substructure, with a concealed gutter and a downpipe at the back. That keeps the front clean, with no pipes in view. Solar panels on the roof are possible; tell us in advance and we will calculate the frame for them.
A single carport in Douglas fir starts at around € 3,900 including installation.
Features

This is always included. Everything beyond it we discuss during the site visit.

- With or without a store A closed section behind or beside the carport, with door and window.
- Concealed gutter Rainwater hidden in the frame, drained at the back.
- Ready for solar panels A heavier frame if you let us know in advance.
- Charging point prepared Cabling from the meter cupboard hidden inside the post.
- Open or half closed A closed side wall against prying eyes and driving rain.
