The SKAN HOLZ increased snow-load consists of additional rafters, which are mounted between the existing roof rafters. This reduces the rafter spacing of the carport and increases load capacity. The number and size of the rafters varies according to carport.
Increased snow load increases the snow load of the carport to 2,0 kN/m².
This snow-load increase contains 6 additional rafters and fits the following models:
- Carport Emsland 354 x 846 cm
- Carport Wendland 362 x 870 cm
- Carport Spessart 355 x 846 cm
- not colour-treated
Please be aware:
Increased snow load cannot subsequently be backfitted on the carports. Before assembling, please find out what the snow-load limit is in your area.
Construction
The construction is made of glued laminate timber, consisting of several dried layers, attached to one another with finger-jointing. They are glued onto one another for weather-resistance. This results in a load-bearing beam which is more resistant to warping and less prone to fissures than naturally grown wood.
Color treatment
This building kit is not treated with color. Wood in outdoor areas is constantly exposed to the elements, such as fungus and insect infestations. Regular application of protective coatings is thus essential. Primer should be applied to all sides prior to assembly. First apply wood primer to protect against fungus and insects.
Then apply an intermediate and a finishing coat of premium wood varnish or paint to protect against color change and damage. Calculate service intervals of about 4-5 years, prior to the appearance of visible damage. Follow the processing guidelines of the varnish manufacturer.
