Construction
The construction is made of impregnated softwood. Spruce and pine wood, which is not technically-dried, acquires its greenish color from metal salts released by the impregnating agent. They protect wood against fungus and insect infestations, but do not contain UV protection. Impregnation gives wood higher residual moisture. Subsequent drying can lead to release of resin, twisting and formation of drying cracks, which pose no static disadvantage and rather reflect the natural materials used.
Colour treatment
The colour-treated components are coated with a layer of paint at the factory. The coating allows the natural wood grain to remain visible whilst ensuring a uniform surface finish. The components are coated on all sides twice at the factory, after which any excess material is brushed off.
Thanks to this factory pre-treatment, the components can be assembled immediately upon delivery. A primer coat prior to assembly is not required. Each kit also includes a quantity of wood stain or paint for touching up cut edges, screw holes or any damage caused during assembly. These areas should be treated in accordance with the installation instructions.
For a personalised finish, the visible wooden surfaces can be lightly sanded after assembly and treated with a suitable wood stain or paint. Components that have been colour-treated on all sides may show storage marks due to technical reasons.
Roof covering
The roofing consists of 19 mm-thick timber roof boarding with EPDM foil. This material is suitable for roofs with a low pitch and is characterised by its elastic properties as well as high resistance to weathering and UV radiation. It is installed in a single piece using cold bonding with the adhesive supplied, thereby reducing the number of joints. The material is flexible to work with and is designed for use as roof waterproofing.
Rain gutter
The scope of delivery includes a rain gutter made of galvanised and anthracite-coloured coated metal. The gutter is attached to the carport with sternboard brackets. The gutters are joined together using clamp connectors and the ends are sealed with caps for clamping. Pipes and bends are simply inserted into each other. If gutters or pipes need to be shortened on site, please use a hand saw suitable for steel, not an angle grinder. This will also protect the cut edge from rust.
Would you like a white gutter instead of an anthracite one? No problem. Please make a note of this in your order.
Bracing
The building kit includes 60 cm-long H-post anchors of galvanized flat steel for embedding in concrete in the site-built deep foundation (for size and lay-out see assembly instructions). They firmly connect the posts to the subsurface to ensure high stability.
