6 reasons to choose a carport
The greatest advantages of these carports come above all from the material used, namely aluminium and, in some versions, steel. These ensure that the structure will serve for many years without the need for regular, demanding maintenance and that vehicles are reliably protected:
Faster and cheaper to build than a garage: A carport is usually erected within a few days and does not require the extensive groundwork or foundations of a traditional garage.
Reliable vehicle protection: A carport protects the bodywork from UV radiation, rain, snow and hail, so the paint and interior keep their original appearance for longer.
Minimal maintenance: The aluminium structure does not rust and requires no painting or impregnation – an occasional clean is enough.
Aesthetic benefit for the property: A modern carport pergola can be matched to the facade of the house, the fence and other garden elements, increasing the value of the whole property.
Universal use: Besides parking, the same structure can be used as a roof over a terrace, a seating area or storage space.
Saves space on the plot: When anchored to an existing building, this type of parking cover saves space compared with free-standing units such as a brick or tent garage, or a version made from modified shipping containers.
Uses of aluminium carports
An aluminium carport is most often built at family houses, where it replaces a missing garage or supplements existing parking spaces. Thanks to the various sizes, an aluminium carport pergola can be adapted to your needs, or combined with covered parking for a motorcycle, bicycles or garden machinery.
Carports and car pergolas are also used in the commercial sphere, for example at company buildings, business premises or used-car dealerships, where several vehicles need to be protected at once. For even larger projects, saddle halls or tent garages, which offer a substantially larger covered area at a reasonable price, tend to be more advantageous.
Owners of motorhomes, caravans or boats on trailers will also appreciate an aluminium carport pergola, which gives them a sufficiently high and spacious shelter for their vehicle even outside a normal parking space.
In agriculture it can be combined with cover for tractors or smaller machinery, just like our livestock and hay shelters, which protect working machinery and animals from bad weather.
How to choose a carport?
When choosing a suitable carport, it pays to consider several key factors:
Number and size of vehicles: Choose its width and length so that there is enough room to open the doors and get in comfortably.
Type of structure: A free-standing carport can be placed anywhere on the plot, while one anchored to the wall of the house saves material and space.
Colour and design: Aluminium carports can be matched to the facade or the fencing of the plot, so they look unobtrusive and in harmony.
Accessories: LED lighting and motorised louvre control are not standard and are only found on selected models, so make sure you are buying the right one.
Installation method: Decide whether you will assemble it yourself or entrust the installation to a professional company with experience from hundreds of projects.
Price of an aluminium carport
The price of an aluminium carport depends mainly on its dimensions, the number of vehicles covered, the chosen type of roofing and the colour finish. Installation, transport and any accessories, such as gutters or lighting, are also reflected in the total.
The exact price of a carport can therefore only be determined once the dimensions, material and location have been specified. Contact us and get a tailor-made quote today to find out how much your whole investment in a new pergola will cost!
