A carport is specially designed to protect vehicles. These are ideal applications toprovide shelter and protection for your cars, jets, boats and huge vehicles. These can be built on the side or front of your house (usually open from three sides). They are seldom walled from all four sides (as they are supposed to be wide and open). Nevertheless, carports are somehow similar to garages and porches. 

Carports are easy to build and you can build a carport on DIY basis (provided you happen to be technical minded and possess the right tools). They are affordable, cheap to own and available in a variety of designs.


Here are a few that are overwhelmingly popular for certain reasons. You can choose a design that suits your particular needs perfectly. 


Gable Roof Carport:


This particular design is most suitable (and popular) in areas with heavy snow or downpour. Gable roof is a triangle shape shelter; its corners are bent downward (with a tip in its middle) to allow easy slipping down of snow and rain. As a result,it is pretty safe bet against heavy snowfall to keep your vehicle safe against severe weather elements. Additionally, it gives an elegant look to your house as well withits unique style and design.
 

Flat Roof Carport:

This is one of the oldest prevailing designs of carport architecture for its low cost, simplicity and durability. These types of carports are suitable for areas with minimal rain and snowfall. These types of car ports are ideal for low budget homeowners with a desire to own a carport that doesn’t dent their wallets.

Flemish Gable Carport:

This is the one of the most modern designs of carports that is popular in Europe. It is also known as a Dutch gable carport and almost similar to gable roof carport in its construction and look (the only difference being a pediment that rests on the top of the roof). Apart from being a carport, it can also be used as sitting area whereyou can have your evening tea in an outdoor setting. A Flemish gable carport can also be used as a store for all your outdoors equipment.

Your DIY Carport:

You can always design your own carport with some brainstorming and consulting a carport specialist. A smart way can be to customize the commercially available carports through innovation and smart mix and match. However, you must consult an expert to make sure that “mix and match” approach is safe in application.


Customized Carports:

New and smart carport designers are coming up with exotic ideas to utilize the available space at your premises for contemporary carport designs. They may be slightly more expensive but they can deliver custom carport options beyond your expectations


Timber Carport Frame:


It is another beautiful type of carport which is considered to be classic. These are most suitable for low rain and snowfall area. It is one of the most popular choice among the carport lovers all over the world for its low cost, amazing look, versatility in designs and availability.

How Owning a Carport Can Extend the Life of Your Car

2/3/2015

Parking your car in a Carport can extend its life in many ways.  Melbourne Carport Builders, a service of The Timber Decking Builders Group, can ensure that you get the best protection available for your car.



Many people don't think about this much, but a carport can actually help extend the life of your car.  Parking it in a garage may be the best option, but if you don't already have one, they can be expensive,  require plans, permits and can take a considerable amount of time to complete.


A Carport however can be easier to maintain and has a variety of other uses, as well. 

Here are just a few ways that the life of your vehicle can be extended by getting a new Custom Carport from Timber Decking Builders.


  • Protection from the sun
  • And from the rain
  • Even from the dew

Protecting Your Car From the Sun


Everybody has seen how the color of your can fade through prolonged exposure to sunlight.  The fading color of your car can make it look dull and much less attractive than it did when it was new, not to mention impact on the resale value. 

Not only will the sunlight cause this damage to the exterior, but the interior can fade just as badly.  The cars upholstery can also fade and be weakened by the heat from the sun shining through the windows.  Not only will the cars seats take on a faded look, but anything inside the vehicle that is made of plastic will run the risk of cracking.  All this damage can be prevented by getting a well designed and built Carport. 

Timber Decking
Builders may even be able to help you set up a movable screen for different seasons.


Protecting Your Car From the Rain


The damage that can be caused by rain is not limited to simply getting your Car wet.  Most Cars have those little nooks and crannies that water likes to collect in. If left there too long, that water can start to rust out your car's frame. In the colder months, hail can be as bad, if not worse, than rain.  Not only can it damage your vehicle just by hitting it, but, as it starts to melt, it will also find all those moisture hiding spots. Timber Decking
Builders can set up a Custom Carport for you that will take into consideration the prevailing weather patterns to get the most protection for your Car.


Protecting Your Car From the Dew


Some people may not realize this, but dew actually is formed by the condensation of the moisture in the air as it cools.  Again, in Melbourne's colder months, any moisture that gets on your car can freeze and be the cause of serious damage; particularly if there is a small chip in a Car window.  Water that gets in and freezes will cause the crack to grow until you need to replace the window.  Under a Carport, your vehicle will have more protection from this effect as the majority of the wetness will settle on the roof of the carport.  Timber Decking
Builders can help you choose the best site for your new Carport so it will have plenty of ventilation, and not allow moisture to build up on your vehicle.


These are probably the biggest threats to your vehicle if you park it outside.  There may be others, but, as far as weather goes, these are the ones that people worry about most.  To learn more about how you can protect your car and help extend its life, check your area for the best carport builders.  Melbourne has several good ones available.
