Plastic Carport

A plastic carport is the perfect way to shield your vehicle from rain, sun, and snow. Using materials like acrylic, polycarbonate, and HPL/Trespa® not only allows you to create a durable shelter but also gives your driveway a contemporary look. We are here to share more about the advantages of these materials and provide you with helpful tips for installing and ordering the right sheets.

A plastic carport is a canopy designed to protect your vehicle from the elements. It’s constructed using robust plastics such as acrylic, polycarbonate, or HPL/Trespa®. The great benefit? Your car stays dry and protected without the need to build an entire garage. Plastic is ideal for a carport: it’s lightweight, strong, and resilient. Plus, it looks fantastic!

You have several options when building a plastic carport, depending on your priorities. Do you want a carport that’s extra robust, or is sun resistance more crucial for you?

When considering the roofing for your carport, acrylic and polycarbonate are two popular choices, each offering its own unique benefits. Acrylic, also known as Perspex®, is a transparent and lightweight material that gives a sleek appearance, almost as if your car sits under a glass roof. It is UV-resistant and provides excellent protection against the elements while maintaining an appealing look.

On the other hand, polycarbonate sheets are incredibly strong and impact-resistant, nearly unbreakable. They are also lightweight and offer a high degree of design flexibility in terms of form. Our polycarbonate is UV-resistant, ensuring it does not discolour or become brittle over time. This isn’t standard for polycarbonate, and we’ve specially incorporated this feature into our sheets.

A plastic carport offers many advantages over metal or wood. They’re lightweight, which makes them easy to assemble. They stand up well to weather and wind, and there’s no need to worry about rust. Maintenance? There’s hardly any to speak of. And the best part: you can customise your carport exactly as you wish. Whether you have a small car or a large SUV, there’s always a suitable solution.

Setting up a plastic carport is straightforward. The materials are light, saving you a lot of hassle. However, make sure you secure the construction properly. You certainly don’t want your carport to blow away in the first storm. Always use stainless steel white screws and bolts. Ensure your sheets are precisely cut to size. Need help with customisation?
