Good morning,

I am currently looking into the topic of carports. Unfortunately, I haven’t found much information online; it seems that the usual carport manufacturers don't offer options for my needs.

What I require is a carport with a clear span of 7.2 meters (24 feet). Most common manufacturers only build up to 6 meters (20 feet).

I assume it will need to be a steel structure or a combination of wood and steel.

Do you know of any manufacturers that offer something like this? Visually, I would like to clad it with rhombus slats.

At Holzon, you can get carports with a span of up to 7m (23 feet). A friend of mine got his from there, and as far as I know, it is made entirely of wood.

Thank you. Unfortunately, 7m (23 feet) is not enough; I cannot get past the garage reveal with that.

As far as I know, they also do custom sizes over 12 x 7 m (39 x 23 ft). Just inquire directly.

Hello,
try contacting

CP Carport GmbH
Waldschulstraße 28
63628 Bad Soden-Salmünster

That’s who made ours. They customize quite individually and, above all, use "self-supporting" roofs. This means that the parapet is simultaneously the load-bearing element. Because the parapet is much higher than the usual I-beams in a standard construction, you might have a chance there.

Best regards,

Andreas
