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 10 additional rafters and fits the following models:
- Carport Spreewald 585 x 893 cm
- Green impregnated
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 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.
