SKAN HOLZ Friesland carport
The Friesland 546 x 708 cm carport offers a high-quality, durable and functional solution for covered car parking or as a sheltered outdoor area. The stable structure of impregnated softwood combined with a robust EPDM roof covering ensures weather resistance and low maintenance while maintaining a natural look.
- Exterior dimensions 546 x 708 cm: ideal for one or two cars or as a covered parking area
- Structure: Solid, impregnated spruce wood (not kiln dried) with strong 11.5 x 11.5 cm posts
- High-quality roof covering: 20 mm roof boarding with fully bonded EPDM foil - durable, stretchable and UV-resistant
- Post anchoring: Including 60 cm H-post anchor made of galvanised flat steel for setting in concrete in point foundations to be created on site.
- Roof finish: Profiled wood trim with aluminium end edge for a clean, durable finish
Treatment and care instructions:
- The wood is protected by the water-based impregnation, but has an increased residual moisture content. Minor drying cracks or resin leakage are natural characteristics and do not reduce the structural strength.
- Before further surface treatment, please wait 2-3 months in the sun until the excess impregnation has dried. Then sand the surface lightly, clean and treat twice with a high-quality wood preservative stain.
- When selecting the stain, make sure it has good UV protection and follow the manufacturer's processing guidelines. Recommended maintenance intervals are approx. 4-5 years, but at the latest before visible damage occurs.
Technical and planning-relevant information:
- Stability: Connecting the posts with the supplied H-anchors creates a stable and permanent anchoring in the concrete point foundation.
- Foundation: The size and design of the point foundations can be found in the assembly instructions. On request, you can receive the appropriate foundation plan together with the anchors - please specify when ordering.
- Laying the EPDM foil: The EPDM roof covering is supplied as a large-area foil and cold-bonded. EPDM is characterised by its high elasticity, long service life and very good UV protection.
The Friesland carport impresses with its well thought-out details, high-quality materials and easy assembly. It is ideal for customers looking for a durable, visually appealing and functional canopy for their outdoor area.
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.
Color treatment
Water-based impregnation protects the wooden components of this building kit from fungus and insect infestations. The building kit can be assembled immediately upon delivery. The wooden surface should be further treated no sooner than 2-3 sunny months later, after the excess impregnation has dried. Lightly sand and clean the surface prior to coating. Apply two coats of premium wood varnish to the surface. Look for good UV protection of the products and follow the guidelines of the varnish manufacturer. Calculate service intervals of about 4-5 years, prior to the appearance of visible damage. Follow the processing guidelines of the varnish manufacturer.
Roofing
Roofing consists of 19 mm-thick roof boarding with EPDM foil. EPDM foil is easy to lay, safe and durable roofing for roofs with low pitch. It features long service life, high elasticity, and excellent resistance to UV radiation. It is laid as one piece using cold bonding with the provided adhesive.
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.
