Wooden carports

Firstly, when deciding whether wooden carports or garages could be a more suitable solution, you must know several things.

Firstly, the area of the garage designed inside the house is counted in the total living area. For this reason, to fit into the requirements applied to buildings without a permit – an area of ​​80 m2 – you will have to make some compromises. It means the living space in the house has to be significantly reduced at the expense of the garage. Secondly, no less important thing is the lower price of carports. Experts say, when installing a garage inside the house, the price of its installation is equal to the cost of installing the living area.

However, it’s hard to ignore the fact that the garage, in comparison with carports, has unique advantages. To begin with, although a carport can be a solution good enough for the warm season, the vehicle needs more extensive protection during the winter. Secondly, the engine that is started every day at low temperatures does not have time to warm up in case of shorter trips. Thirdly, when storing things outside we cannot ignore the influence of the cold season temperature on the quality of things – devices such as lawnmowers or metal tools. Such things are often protected much better while kept in the garage.

Evaluating the advantages of a carport, it is difficult to find differences in the warm season. In this case, wooden carports installed near the house perfectly protect cars and things from the sun, snow, or rain. A small storage room can be integrated under it if necessary. It is also important to mention that the area of ​​the wooden carport for sale will not be counted in the total area of ​​the house. In this way, its installation will not have any effect on the size of the living space.

It is easy to understand that the lower costs of wooden carports are usually determined by measurements and the materials used in production. It is also obvious that the price of carports often becomes a decisive factor when choosing to build a carport instead of a garage. In the case of the construction of a garage, the price of installation can be compared to the price of a living room. Based on today’s market prices, the simplest models of wooden carports cost from ~1700 euros on average. It is significantly cheaper than installing a garage in the same area.

It is worth noting that you can build a relatively economical and optimal version of the carport by choosing wood as a material. The indicative price of such a carport from wood could reach 150 euros per m2 (calculating the floor area). However, if you intend to combine the carport with the exterior of the house, its construction may require significantly more expenses. First of all, it usually becomes quite difficult to find materials that are fully compatible with the exterior of the house. Therefore, installing the carport together with the house is recommended.

First of all, it should be known that the functionality of wooden carports strongly depends on the place chosen for them. Based on practice, it is possible to find places on plots that are less flooded in winter. They also receive relatively little rain. Secondly, if you have decided to build a wooden carport for sale next to the house, a consultation with a specialist is recommended. When adding a carport next to the house, the materials under the facade are especially important. If the wall is covered with a layer of insulation material thicker than 25 cm, the carport can be attached to another building with the appropriate parts. If the material under the building’s insulation is fragile, a frame next to the wall must be built additionally.
