Single carport

The perfect carport for your needs

A single wooden carport is ideal for protecting your car from falling leaves, pollen, rain, snow and other environmental influences. For this purpose, the single carport should be particularly stable, weatherproof and durable. Each Wooden carport von Karibu meets exactly these criteria: The thick posts are made of solid, pressure-impregnated wood, which offers particularly good weather resistance. The roof, on the other hand, is made of galvanized and powder-coated steel plates or opaque PVC trapezoidal plates to protect your car safely from above. Karibu single carports are delivered as a practical kit, which you can assemble into a finished carport in no time at all.

The advantages of pressure-impregnated wood for carports

A single carport is designed to protect your car from wind and weather, over a longer period of time. Therefore, pressure-impregnated wood is ideal for the construction of a carport. In boiler pressure impregnation, the wood is transported to a special impregnation system, which can be sealed so tightly that a vacuum can be generated. This removes the moisture from the wood and then wood protection salts are pressed into the wood at high pressure. These salts penetrate deep into the wood and protect it from weathering from the inside out, but also from infestation by fungi and pests. For example, pressure-impregnated wood is ideal for a carport. This is because the wood can withstand wind and weather after treatment without having to be constantly post-treated.

Single carport, double carport or garage?

To protect a car, you can choose between a carport and a garage. Both constructions have their own advantages: A carport offers a lower price, a lighter appearance, better adaptation to the ground and a simpler construction. In addition, the open design allows plenty of air to reach the vehicle at all times, preventing corrosion damage caused by moisture. If you only have a single car or little space on your property, a single carport is a good option. If there are two cars or if you also want to store bicycles or children's vehicles, a Double carport at.

One Garage offers slightly better protection compared to a wooden carport, as the outer walls are closed and the gate can be closed completely. For example, a wooden garage provides better protection against theft and vandalism, but also against damaging weather influences from the sides. Plant pollen, dust and dirt from the side are also better kept out in a garage, although the latter advantage can also be easily realized for a carport with the right accessories.

Upgrade single carport with accessories

At Karibu you will find a wide variety of Carport Accessories to further enhance your single carport or to create additional storage space.

With chic roof shingles or self-adhesive bitumen roofing membranes, you can not only provide even more weather resistance, but also an individual look of your carport.

Do you need a building permit for a single carport?

Before starting the construction of a carport, you should check with the responsible building authority about the currently valid building regulations. In most cases, you also need a building permit to build a single carport. When a building permit is necessary differs from state to state. In addition, individual municipalities may have additional regulations and requirements when it comes to the construction of a single carport. Small carports can often be built without a permit. However, asking the authorities about the regulations before buying a carport saves you the risk of having to dismantle the carport again in the worst case.
