Carport Structure

One Carport is not only airier and cheaper than a Garage , but also faster and easier to set up due to its comparatively simple design. We explain the assembly of a wooden carport kit from Karibu for DIYers:

Build your own carport kit: step by step

1. Check components of the set: Read the assembly instructions in full before assembly and check your kit for completeness.
2. Flat surface as a building site: Make sure that the surface on which you want to build your carport is level.
3. Point foundation and H-post anchor for good stability: Dig 80 centimeter deep foundation holes for the posts. These should be about 40x40 centimeters in size.
4. Fix the H-anchor: Hang the H-Post Anchor (not included with Karibu) into the corresponding holes and fix them with slats.
5. Insert the posts: Insert the posts of the carport into the H-anchors and fasten them with screw clamps.
6. Check the position of the H-anchors and posts: Use a spirit level to check the distances, perpendicular correctness and height of the posts. Then screw the posts to the H-anchors.
7. Attach purlins: Screw the purlins together and place them on the posts. To connect the parts together, pre-drill and screw them together.
8. Mounting the headbands: Screw the headbands to the posts and purlins for stability.
9. Put on rafters: Put on the rafters and screw them together on both sides using the brackets provided. Start with the outer rafters and work your way up to the middle.
10. Secure the construction from storms: Screw the supplied metal band diagonally to the rafters.
11. Attach the end panels: Attach the end panels to the front and sides - these are mounted flush to the purlins.
12. Attach roof tiles: Align the roof tiles, i.e. distribute them overlapping on the roof surface of the carport. Pre-drill the holes for the fastening and install the roof panels using tinsmith screws.
13. Concrete the foundations: Once your carport is finished, you can concrete over the point foundations. When the concrete has hardened, the substitutions can be removed. This takes about two days.
    
    

Tip: Order our Gutter Sets for the carport and thus ensure that the rainwater is optimally drained away and your carport cannot be damaged by water. We also offer other accessories such as Side walls or equipment rooms.

Attention: Please be sure to get H-post anchors before setting up the carport. These not only provide the posts of your carport with a particularly firm hold, but also protect the wood from rot, as they ensure a distance from the damp ground and thus avoid contact with the ground.
