What to make a carport out of?

The choice of material for a carport depends on several factors:

  • the aesthetics of the area and the building
  • the intended area and height of the structure
  • type of roofing
  • budget

A cheaper solution would be to build carports made of wood. The timber construction and the same side covering will suit more than just holiday homes. Wood has a timeless beauty and suits both modern, rustic and retro styles. You can paint the wood almost any colour you like. Use varnish, stain or other wood treatments. However, keep in mind that wood requires periodic maintenance and cleaning.

Aluminium carport will certainly be more durable and a little more modern in appearance. It can be painted in any colour. It can also have an aesthetic wood-like coveringthat combines the advantages of aluminium with the beauty of wood. Aluminium requires little care and is easy to clean. However, aluminium is more expensive than wood. The decision on the final choice of material is therefore up to you. 

Regardless of the choice of material, think about how they are to be filled in sides of the structure Your carports. The even and aesthetically pleasing fixing of wooden or aluminium laths to the structure can be a challenge. It can also be very time-consuming. Especially if you like the diagonal installation of the lamellas on the side panels. We have found the perfect solution to these problems.
