Wooden Carports

A wooden carport offers a natural, timeless aesthetic that complements various home styles. It’s eco-friendly, durable, and cost-effective, with proper treatments ensuring resistance to rot and weather damage.

Wooden carports are versatile, providing vehicle protection, extra storage space, or outdoor gathering spaces. They’re easy to install, customizable in design and size, and can increase property value by adding functionality and curb appeal.

If you prefer an enclosed space, we also have a stunning collection of wooden garages.

You may not need planning permission if the new carport is under 30m², open on at least two sides, and not built in front of your home. This often qualifies as permitted development. However, rules differ slightly across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and local planning constraints (like conservation areas or listed buildings) vary depending on your location and property type.

In most cases, small detached carports are also exempt from building regulations approval, but this can change if the structure is enclosed, attached to your home, or involves electrical work.

To ensure compliance, always check with your Local Planning Authority and Building Control department before starting your project.

Palmako’s wooden carports are crafted from Nordic spruce using traditional jointing techniques and built by experienced carpenters. These methods ensure long-term strength and weather resistance.

With proper maintenance, these structures can last for many years, providing a spacious and sturdy solution to keep your vehicle safe from the elements.. Palmako’s wooden carports are designed for easy assembly, offering an ideal solution for homeowners seeking a durable, quality structure to keep cars safe and secure.

Maintenance is simple and involves periodic treatment of the timber with a preservative to prevent weathering and fungal decay. Adding a fresh coat of paint or stain every few years helps maintain the wooden carport’s appearance, natural look, and durable quality. This regular upkeep ensures your wooden carport kit remains a sturdy and long-lasting addition to your driveway or property, offering protection for your cars and vehicles for many years.
