Storm Damage – Why you need a Timber Carport in Spain!

The ideal solution for warm climates.

If you live in a hot country like me, then a carport is essential. The sun not only ages your skin but also the paint of your car. A wooden carport is much cheaper and quicker to build than a conventional garage, and with treated woods stained in practically any color, it blends perfectly into any garden environment.

Versatility and protection for more than just your car

A carport is quite versatile, as it can also be used to store other items such as ATVs, jet skis, and even a speedboat. Additionally, with no walls, objects with difficult shapes, such as a boat on a trailer, can be easily maneuvered under the protective roof.

Prevent damage from hail and other weather phenomena

On rare occasions, hailstorms can damage the bodywork and paint of cars, as recently happened near Pinoso in the Alicante region. A simple carport would have prevented this from happening, and a few metal roof panels are much cheaper to replace than a car’s bodywork.

 

Sturdy construction and attractive aesthetics

A carport should have a solid construction with quality treated wood, and the posts securely anchored in concrete. The ends of the horizontal beams supporting the roof can be attractively sculpted to offer a pleasing appearance.

 

The natural choice for your home: wooden carports

A professional woodworking workshop like Woodworks Direct can provide a carport that suits any environment. Although carports can also be made of metal, wood is the natural choice for a carport next to your home. Wood blends in everywhere, and in no time it will have aged gently to become indistinguishable from the surroundings it has been introduced to.
