Roof filling

Various roofing materials are available. You will like glass for its total transparency. Then consider a blackout solution. You will appreciate polycarbonate for its lower cost compared to glass and its lightness, or blackout panels for their opacity and therefore better insulation qualities.

The different types of aluminium carports for a terrace

Akena Carport - Adossé - Voiture protégée

There are several ways to design a terrace carport, each with its own specific advantages. The lean-to carport, for example, is attached directly to the front of your house, creating visual continuity and increased protection against the elements. It integrates perfectly with the existing architecture, providing practical and aesthetic shelter.

Akena - Carport - Protéger son véhicule

Other options, such as carports free-standing, can be considered to create a more independent space, delimited by elegant posts and a protective roof. Whatever your choice, the objective is to create a harmonious space, where your vehicle finds its place without sacrificing the aesthetics of your terrace.

All your questions about the carport terrace

What are the advantages of a lean-to carport?

Opting for a lean-to carport is choosing simplicity and efficiency. This type of carport offers optimal protection against the elements, leaning against the structure of your house to create a solid and durable shelter. It allows you to move from your vehicle to your home with complete peace of mind, without worrying about the vagaries of the weather.

What's more, a lean-to carport can enhance the aesthetics of your front, adding a touch of modernity and elegance. You can even opt for a vegetated carport for an even more striking look! It can also serve as an extension of your outdoor living space, creating a shaded area where you can enjoy your terrace in any season.

What size lean-to carport should I choose for my house?

The ideal size of your lean-to carport will depend on several factors, including the number of vehicles you want to shelter. If you only have one car, a single carport will suffice. On the other hand, if you have two or more cars, or if you also want to shelter a motorbike or bicycles, opt for a double or larger carport.

Also consider evaluating the space available on your terrace or in front of your house. Take into account the constraints related to the configuration of your land, the presence of trees or walls, and the town planning regulations in force.

Some points to help you:

  • A single carport is generally between 3 and 4 metres wide and between 5 and 6 metres long.
  • A double carport is generally between 5 and 6 metres wide and between 5 and 6 metres long.
  • The standard height of a carport is about 2.5 metres, but it can be adapted to the height of your vehicles.

At AKENA, we offer customised solutions, adapted to your needs and desires. Our advisors are at your disposal to help you choose the ideal dimensions, taking into account the aesthetics of your house and the layout of your exterior.

How do you go about installing a lean-to carport?

The installation of a lean-to carport is a crucial stage to guarantee its solidity and durability.

  • Initial contact and feasibility study: After you request a quotation, an AKENA advisor will visit you to assess the configuration of your land, the nature of your front and your specific constraints. This stage allows us to validate the feasibility of the project and to define the most suitable technical solutions.
  • Customised design: Our design teams translate your needs and desires into detailed plans.
  • Site preparation: Before work begins, we provide you with precise information on the stages to come and any necessary adaptations (soil preparation, electrical connection if you have chosen lighting options, etc.).
  • Installation by qualified professionals, trained in installation techniques specific to AKENA carports.
  • Attachment to the front and assembly of the structure, ensuring that the posts and roofing elements are perfectly aligned.
  • Finishing touches and quality control.

We work efficiently and discreetly to minimise disruption during the work. Our aim is to offer you a smooth and pleasant experience, so that you can quickly enjoy your new outdoor space.
