What is a carport?

A carport is a canopy cover usually used to house a car, although you can also store tools under it. The construction is often installed against the house, but can also be free-standing. It is a lot easier to add to your home than an indoor garage, and is therefore an ideal solution to create extra space or a safe parking space.

What are the advantages of a carport?

More and more people are opting for a carport, there is no surprise there.
This type of construction offers many advantages and therefore great added value. The main advantages of a carport:

Your car gets dirty less quickly because it remains dry and protected under your carport. This saves a few washes and time annually.
The bodywork is protected against the sun’s UV rays and against moisture. This helps prevent rust or paint damage due to heat or UV rays.
Winter icing on windows or problems with a frozen lock is very rare. Only during severe winters will this possibly be a problem.
A carport takes up much less space than a full garage construction. Moreover, installation is quick and easy. This means you can combine optimal use of the space with minimal installation time.
An aluminium carport requires no maintenance. This means cleaning 2 times per year is sufficient for a lifespan of about 25 years.

Buying a sustainable and modern carport

The Algarve Canvas is an aluminium carport. It is feather-light, robust and recyclable. The slim design and elegant lines give this carport a sleek, contemporary look. A great way to catch 2 birds with 1 stone: if you also want to opt for sustainable design.

What are the dimensions of a carport?

Renson offers customisation, and this applies to the Algarve Canvas carport as well. However, there are a few maximum lengths to take into account.
With these limitations, we can still guarantee wind resistance up to 120 km/h and a load-bearing capacity of 100 kg/m².

The dimensions of your aluminium carport are:

Max width: 4.5 m (up to 6 m if joined)
Max length: 6 m
Max passage height: 2.8 m

Combine a carport with a pergola

Do you want to create even more space? Connect the Renson Algarve Canvas to an Algarve canopy cover with a bladed roof. Together, the 2 parts form a harmonious look-and-feel, also with your home. Moreover, the engineering installations are concealed invisibly in both the carport and pergola: from the screw connections to the water drainage.

Where can I place a carport?

You can build a carport onto your home or have it free-standing in an outdoor area.
The placement of a carport may have an impact on your notification requirement or building permit.

Is the free-standing carport less than 40 m² and no more than 30 m from your home? Then you do not need to apply for a permit or report its construction. This is true if the height is below 3.5 m and it is built at least 3 m from the plot boundary.
You must report the construction of a carport at your home to the municipality at least 20 days before the work starts.
Is the attached carport more than 4 m high, or is it less than 2 m (in the backyard) or 3 m (in the side yard) from the plot boundary? Then you need to apply for a building permit.

Double carport for several cars

Do you have several cars, and do they both deserve a comfortable and protective roof? You can easily house both cars under a double carport. Do you still need even more space? You can always opt for an even wider version. Or, in addition to your car, you also want to house your mobile home, motorcycle, boat, jet ski or outdoor furniture somewhere dry and safe.

How do I maintain a carport?

Your car is protected against acid rain, sea air and UV rays, but your carport will still have to endure this. Therefore, regular maintenance, 1 to 2 times per year is recommended. The Renson Maintenance Set will help you keep the colours intense and the aluminium structure in top condition.

How to clean your carport:

Give the carport a deep clean with Renson Clean. This product removes dust, grease and moss.
Apply the Renson Protect protective layer.
Enjoy the convenience of a carport and the extended paint warranty of up to 15 years.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A carport takes up less space than a complete garage construction, which results in optimal use of space. A width of 3 m is recommended to park 1 car comfortably under a carport. The maximum width is 6 m. This would allow 2 cars to be parked under the carport. Width and length are possible down to the mm as desired, and a length of up to 6 m is possible. You can couple canopy covers for greater dimensions.

Your carport will always be exposed to the elements outside. If you want to get the best out of your Renson carport and enjoy it all year round, the recommendation is to clean it once or twice a year. This means the carport will last longer. In coastal areas and wooded areas, carrying out maintenance twice a year is a must.

Renson carports are (almost) always custom-made. Prices are therefore strongly dependent on the required dimensions, accessories, roof types, etc. You can contact our recognised distributor network for a quote.
