Carport / shelter
Custom timber carports and vehicle shelters in the Rhine Valley: from measuring, structural design and permits to prefabrication, installation and drainage.
Direct answer
We design and build timber carports in the Rhine Valley as single, double or multi-bay structures. Measuring, structural design, permit planning, prefabrication, installation and drainage are coordinated as one complete carpentry service.

Benefits
Protection from snow, rain and sun without a massive structure. Ideal for quick access to the house.
Process
Measure, structural check and roof choice, permit if needed, prefabrication, on-site assembly.
Roof options
Trapezoid sheet metal, transparent polycarbonate or tiles. We align look and function.
Suitable / not suitable
Suitable with stable ground and clear fixing points. Not ideal without permits or in very tight spaces.
From site measurement to completed installation
A custom carport works when access, structure, permits, prefabrication and drainage are planned together.
Measurement & design
Access, parking bays, post positions and junctions with the existing building are checked on site before design starts.
Structure & permits
Spans, snow and wind loads, and the documents needed for approval are clarified early.
Prefabrication
The timber frame, roof build-up and junction details are prepared so on-site work stays short and controlled.
Installation & drainage
Foundations, timber structure, roof covering, gutter and downpipe are installed as one finished solution.

- Roof: trapezoid sheet metal or transparent polycarbonate (tiles also possible)

Common questions
What does the price depend on?
Size, roof material, foundations and details. After measuring we provide a clear offer.
Do I need a permit?
Often yes, depending on municipality and size. We help clarify.
How long does installation take?
Depending on size, usually 1–3 days. We plan so access stays usable.
Are large carport spans without center posts possible?
Yes. Depending on structural requirements and existing conditions, we design carports to keep the parking area as open as possible.
Is trapezoid sheet roofing a good fit for a carport?
Usually yes: durable, cost-effective and reliable when drainage details are done correctly.
Do you build single and double-bay carports?
Yes. We size the structure and roof shape to your access, load requirements and use case.
