Preparation
Before you do anything, if you live in a listed building or conservation area check with your local council to see what constraints you may have on design (e.g. colour, materials) and size.
All other properties will not require planning permission unless covering a space greater than 5M x 10M.
Our service extends to include support and advice on such applications and can, on request, supply drawings and specifications to support your planning application.
Carport Location
The location for your carport ideally should be level, protected from wind and also convenient to park your car. Cantilever Carports do not require a foundation but any with posts will so consideration to the location of posts should be considered. We can assess that along with any other factors, and with our customer promise, be assured the price you are quoted is the price you will pay and nothing more.

Canopy Size
As you might imagine, increasing the size of a carport also increases the price. Its important to note that a Carport should be considered a one-off cost. Maximising you cover space will, in the long term, provide more versatile uses of your additional outdoor space. A typical carport measures 2.5M x 6M.

Carport Materials
You can build or purchase a carport in the following materials:
- GRP
- Steel
- Wood.
GRP and Steel are two main choices that are durable, relatively lightweight and preferred. GRP or Metal does not chip, break, or split like wood. You don’t have to worry about mold or rot with steel or GRP carports, unlike wood. Finally, carports in GRP or Steel demand a lot less maintenance than wooden carport counter-parts.
Only on exception, and mainly due to conservation constraints, would we recommend we install a Wooden Carport to maintain asthetics to a Grade 2 listed building.
