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 340 (354) x 846 cm
- Wendland carport 362 x 870 cm
- Spessart carport 355 x 846 cm
- Untreated in colour
Please 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.
Colour treatment
This kit is supplied untreated in color. This gives you the option to paint the surfaces according to your own design preferences and to match them to their surroundings.
As timber used outdoors is exposed to the elements, a suitable protective coat is recommended. To ensure the treatment is as even as possible, the first coat should be applied to all sides of the timber components before assembly. Suitable wood protection products may be used for this purpose in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
To preserve the appearance of the wood in the long term, regular care and maintenance are advisable. The required maintenance intervals depend, amongst other things, on the location, weather conditions and the chosen coating. Please follow the relevant application and care instructions provided by the manufacturers of the products used.
