Karl L (3.6x7.6m | 23.1m²) Flat Roof Timber Carport for One Car

Overview

The Karl L is a sleek, modern flat roof timber carport designed to provide robust protection for your vehicle throughout the year. Its substantial size and durable construction make it an excellent alternative or complement to a traditional garage, with additional space for storage if needed.

Design and Materials

Constructed from high-quality laminated timber, the Karl L carport features strong 120x120 mm posts that ensure stability and long-term durability. The flat roof is made from 19 mm thick tongue-and-groove boards, providing solid coverage and resistance against weather elements. The use of laminated timber not only enhances the structural integrity but also gives the carport a smooth, fine surface that minimizes the risk of splinters.

Features and Specifications

Construction: Robust laminated timber posts for enhanced stability and aesthetic appeal.
Roofing: Flat roof constructed from 19 mm solid timber boards, designed to withstand heavy loads and severe weather conditions.
Dimensions: Offers a generous internal area of 23.1 m², with external dimensions of 360x762 cm, ample space for parking one car and additional storage.
Additional Storage: Space at the back of the carport allows for the addition of a storage shed for tools, garden furniture, tires, and more.

Installation and Customization

The Karl L carport is engineered for easy self-assembly, with all necessary mounting brackets included. Optional extras such as ground anchors, roofing felt, or EPDM rubber roofing can be added to enhance weather protection and durability. These options help ensure the carport remains secure and well-protected against environmental factors. For a hassle-free experience, we offer installation service for all of our cabins.

Usage and Flexibility

This carport is ideal for shielding your car from snow, rain, and sun, reducing the inconvenience of weather-related issues like snow scraping in winter or overheated interiors in summer. The design includes additional space that can be utilized to store various outdoor equipment or seasonal items, effectively maximizing the usability of your outdoor area.

Practical Benefits

Weather Protection: Protects vehicles from environmental elements and provides a cooler shaded area during hot summer days.
Durability: Laminated timber construction reduces potential warping, swelling, or other moisture-related issues, ensuring the carport remains in excellent condition for years.
Additional Features: Optional enhancements like ground anchors for stability and different roofing materials for increased protection.

Conclusion

The Karl L flat roof timber carport is a stylish, functional, and durable solution for vehicle protection and storage. With its simple yet modern design, it offers an effective shelter for your car, while the optional additions allow for further customization to suit your specific needs and preferences. Whether used alone or with the optional storage extension, this carport is a valuable addition to any property, blending seamlessly with contemporary outdoor aesthetics.

Recommendations

Keep the house package until its complete assembly in a dry place, but not in direct contact with the ground, protected from weather conditions (moisture, the sun, etc.). Do not keep the house package in a heated room!
When selecting the garden house location, make sure that the house will not be subjected to extreme weather conditions (areas of strong snowfall or winds); otherwise you should attach the house (for instance, with anchors) to the subsoil.
All timber elements are natural and need to be treated with wood protection products by the customer to resist weather effects.

For assembling you will need the following tools:

assembly aid
water-level
knife
ladder
screwdriver
measuring tape
hammer
saw
pliers
drill
protective gloves

Preparation of components

Sort the components based on the wall plans (see Installation manual) and place them at the four sides of the house in the installation sequence.

Attention:

Never place the components directly on grass or a muddy surface because it will be very difficult or even impossible to clean them up later!

Garden house installation

Installing a garden house begins from preparing a perfectly level and square foundation. Pouring a concrete foundation is not essential for that purpose; lightweight construction blocks, concrete slabs or posts are also suitable as a base. They need to be dug partly into the ground and levelled before installing the house in order to prevent the house from sinking.

Every house has installation manual included, describing all the main installation stages and separately displaying the wall elements. You can see some of the installation manual by the product description on Palmako’s home page.

Foundation

Prepare the foundation so that its upper edge extends from the ground to a height of at least 5 cm and the foundation joists are propped up on every side with intervals not exceeding 50-60 cm. At the same time make sure that there are sufficient air apertures under the house floor for ventilation.

The following foundation options are recommended:

Screw foundation
Strip or spot (pile) foundation
Foundation from concrete or pavement slabs
Slab foundation (cast concrete bed)

The base frame of the house must be completely flat and level to ensure that the installation proceeds without problems.

Attention:

Different houses can have different foundation placements – see the appended base frame drawing (in Installation Manual)!

Treatment and care

Wood is a natural material, growing and adapting depending on weather conditions. Large and small cracks, colour tone differences and changes, as well as a changing structure of wood are not errors, but a result of wood growing and a peculiarity of wood as a natural material.

Unprocessed wood (except for foundation joists) becomes greyish after having been left untouched for a while, can turn blue and become mouldy. To protect the wooden details of your product, you must immediately process them with a wood preservative or use the product treatment service that Palmako gladly offers.

It is recommended that you cover the floor boards in advance with a colourless wood impregnation agent, especially the bottom sides of the boards, to which you will no longer have access when the house is assembled. Only this will prevent moisture penetration.

It is also recommended that you process the doors and windows as well with a wood impregnation agent, and do that namely both inside and outside! Otherwise the doors and windows can become twisted.

After the product assembly is completed, a weather protection paint that will protect wood from moisture and UV radiation is recommended for the conclusive finishing.

When painting, use high quality tools and paints, follow the paint application manual and manufacturer’s safety and usage instructions. Never paint a surface in strong sunlight or rainy weather. Consult a specialist regarding paints suitable for unprocessed softwood and follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions.

Having been properly painted, your product’s lifetime will increase substantially. Palmako recommends that you inspect the house thoroughly once every six months.

How are Palmako garden buildings made?

The delivery lorry arrived about eleven o’clock and the driver duly unloaded two very large packages. At eleven thirty my neighbour and I began to investigate these well protected packages.
Just after three o’clock that afternoon, two self satisfied men were enjoying a well deserved beverage whilst admiring the 4.5 by 3.5 meter cabin which was now completed up to roof purling level.
The construction of the cabin was so logical and easy, just like assembling ‘Lego blocks’ only heavier.

Wow! From our initial enquiry phone call about your range of log cabins to the final building of our new log cabin, you have been courteous, informative, efficient and thoroughly professional.
A special mention must go to the two guys who came to construct our “Susanna (12.4 sqm) ” – they were brilliant. I did mention to the them that when I was in the building trade running a team of ten, I wished they had been two of them.
Thank you so much, we love our cabin which was in full use the day after they had finished the installation. Best wishes.”

Peter & Jacquie Smyrk

Just a brief note to say how delighted I am with the Melanie (9.6 sqm) Log Cabin I bought from you. Your service and price were superb and Greg and Craig came at 9am on Tuesday and worked right through until 8pm to build it.
They did an excellent job and did not stop all day. Greg advised that I should paint the door and windows a different colour as otherwise the green painted log cabin would be ‘lost’ in the garden and I took their advice. I used two different colours of Butinox No. 3 and the result is absolutely incredible. Many thanks once again. One hugely satisfied customer.

Sandy

We absolutely love our Summer House – we can seat 16 people inside it, it stays warm long after the sun has gone down and it is particularly special as we run a B&B, so we can escape into it, invite all our friends to parties in it and now, we have installed electricity so can have lighting, heat and music as and when needed. It also provides a really big area to store all our garden furniture during the winter months.
We would absolutely recommend you to anyone considering buying one. Many thanks.

Maria Sherriff

As I have said on a number of occasions, I am absolutely delighted with the way you dealt with my initial enquiry, arranged prompt delivery and helped with advice during the installation.
It made a refreshing change to be treated so well throughout, even after I had paid!! The overall quality of the materials was excellent – and I am a fussy retired surveyor – and the clear instructions were easy to follow, although the roof was a bit of a challenge, as I expected! All in all, a great success much admired by friends and visitors. Thanks again for your hands-on service John, it was much appreciated.
