Add dependable covered parking to your property with the Absco 5.50m x 5.50m Double Carport. With space for up to two standard passenger vehicles, it provides a practical solution for protecting cars from direct sun, rain and changing weather conditions.

 

The generous covered area can also be used for trailers, motorbikes, small boats and outdoor equipment. Its open-sided design allows easy vehicle access and gives you flexibility when positioning the carport within your driveway or outdoor area.

 

Made in Australia from high-tensile steel, the carport combines Colorbond® steel roofing with Zincalume® posts and framework. The underside of the roof is finished in Shadow Grey for a neat and consistent appearance.

 

The roof incorporates a slight slope to direct rainwater towards the internal guttering, with downpipes included to help manage runoff.

 

Engineered to an N2 wind rating for non-cyclonic conditions, the carport must be installed and anchored to a suitable concrete slab in accordance with the supplied engineering requirements. Bolt-down anchors and standard fixings are included, while the concrete slab is not supplied.

 

This large structure requires 3–4 people for assembly, with up to two days recommended for construction. Council approval is required before installation.
