Scotland is a beautiful country which is regularly subjected to higher winds and heavier snowfalls than the rest of the UK. However as the winter of 2010 showed heavy snowfalls and gale force winds can hit any region of the UK. Our carports are engineered to withstand the significant loads imposed by accumulation of snow and windspeeds from any passing storm no matter how unseasonal. What's more they have been put to the TEST on more than one occasion!
This cantilever carport has regularly been battered by winds in excess of 100mph and the customer contacted us to voice his appreciation of the products quality when subjected to the acid test of mother natures bad temper.
Both wind and snow can cause considerable additional load on both the carport components and on the fixings which attach it to the supporting wall. Cheaper products may seem like a good deal however weigh that up against the cost of repairs to damaged cars and, perhaps more significantly, damage to structural walls of the property itself.
Snow poses it's own problems with prolonged cold snaps resulting in thawing and refreezing
