Contemporary Carports

Our 1 and 2 bay carports offer a refined, open alternative to a fully enclosed garage.

Designed with clean lines and a flat roof profile, these structures take inspiration from pergola-style architecture while maintaining the strength required for long-term vehicle protection.

Key Features

  • Green oak structural posts

  • Clean flat roof design

  • Minimal, architectural detailing

  • Ideal for driveways with space constraints

  • Typically no planning permission required*

  • They provide shelter without visual heaviness — perfect for modern homes or where a lighter structure is preferred.

Future Ready

Our carports can also be designed to accommodate integrated solar panels, allowing the roof to generate clean electricity for your home.

 

When paired with an EV charging point, this creates a practical solution for charging electric vehicles directly from solar power, while continuing to provide the same protection and architectural presence as our standard oak structures.

​

1 Bay Solar Carport

  • Up to 2.5 kW solar generation

2 Bay Solar Carport

Planning-Friendly Design

Many of our oak-fronted garages and carports are designed to fall within Permitted Development rights, meaning planning permission is often not required.

​

This can significantly simplify the process for homeowners, allowing the building to be installed without the delays typically associated with planning applications.

​

As every property is different, we always recommend confirming eligibility with your local planning authority.
