Carports

A carport is a structure that, if properly equipped, can easily replace a garage. It is a structure without walls, having only supports and a roof. Most often, carports are installed on summer cottages, where it makes sense to save space on the territory. The development of the design of a carport and the construction of such structures are provided by the company LLC "RBK ALBA", where only professional workers work.

What are metal carports made of?

In terms of location, there is a distinction between an attached and a freestanding canopy. Despite the fact that the structure itself has a fairly simple shape, it must be erected in compliance with certain rules and only after calculating the canopy. Any form of carport has the following components:

• Supports. They hold the roofing system. The supports must be buried in the ground by 70-80 cm, fixing them there with cement mortar.
• A rafter system or truss - the crate is installed on these elements.
• Roofing. The type of coating is chosen at the request of the customer. For arched models of metal carports, polycarbonate is most often chosen.

The frame part and truss for a metal carport for a car are made of steel profile pipes. Thanks to this, the metal frame of the canopy has high reliability indicators, becomes resistant to high temperatures and natural factors. The perimeter of durable carports is covered with a polymer zinc coating, which provides additional protection for the entire facility.

Parking canopies can be manufactured in various configurations and sizes, including custom-made designs.

The metal frame of the carport will be resistant to various weather conditions, will not be subject to mechanical damage and will withstand the climatic features of the area.

Such a design of a carport for the yard will fully withstand the roof of several cars. At the same time, the installation of carports does not take much time, does not require constant repairs, and will be able to last more than 20 years.

Manufacturing of carport roofs

For the installation of the roof of the canopies, metal is usually used in the form of galvanized or painted steel. Polycarbonate is also often used. A polycarbonate canopy is extremely light, resistant to ultraviolet rays, is distinguished by its strength and resistance to mechanical damage. Its ability to scatter sunlight allows polycarbonate to be used for the construction of greenhouses, summer gazebos and canopies near the house.

A large selection of modern roofing materials allows you to choose the optimal shape and design of the roof itself. The most common options are:

• arched gable canopies - in a symmetrical and asymmetrical configuration, with a slope in one or two directions;
• conical full or segmental - resemble Gothic towers, very well suited for carports;
• single-slope canopy or with several slopes.

A roof for a canopy made of corrugated board can be built without a slope at all - in a flat format. However, in this case, it may not be able to withstand the mass of snow after a heavy snowfall, or fallen leaves, etc. will accumulate on it.

Custom-made carports: construction features

Choosing our company to perform the service, you can count on a turnkey carport format and high-quality execution of all stages of construction. The craftsmen of LLC "RBK ALBA" are well versed in the technologies of installing custom-made carports, carefully adhering to the basic rules:

• proper concreting - the supports are not simply buried in the ground, but are concreted to a depth below the level of soil freezing;
• snow load - the manufactured frames withstand the mass of snow well, since the metal roof is reinforced by special welding of the roofs;
• optimal dimensions - the smallest area of ​​the carport area for the car is 3.0x5.0 m, and for convenient car placement it is better to make 3.6x6.0 m.
• ventilation - due to the small number of walls or their absence, the car is always well ventilated, which helps protect the bottom from rapid corrosion.

You can order the manufacture of carports through the company's website. The company manager will provide you with a preliminary consultation and approximately calculate the price of a carport.
