The SKAN HOLZ snow load extension consists of additional rafters that you mount between the existing roof rafters. This reduces the rafter spacing of the carport and increases the overall load-bearing capacity. The number and size of the rafters varies depending on the carport.
The snow load increase raises the snow load of the carport to 2.0 kN/m².
This snow load increase contains 6 additional rafters and is suitable for the following models:
- Emsland carport 609 (613) x 846 cm
- Wendland carport 630 x 879 cm
- Spessart carport 611 x 846 cm
- Untreated in colour
Note:
The snow load cannot be retrofitted to the carports. Please check the snow load limit required in your residential area before assembly.
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.
