The uses of a carport

When your vehicle is not there, your carport can have many other uses. More than just a shelter for a car, van or motorhome, it can be used as a garage, while adding extra space to your home and, at the same time, increasing its value.

Carport, pergola aluminium - Akena
A convivial space

Have you thought about it? In the absence of your vehicle, your carport can act as a pergola. In fact, these two constructions are similar and their uses can coincide. Their large spaces allow for infinite functionalities.

With your carport, you can eat outside in the shade, without having to worry about the sun and the heat. The carport roof provides protection from the sun's rays in summer. It will also provide effective protection from the light showers that can occur during meals: no need to rush to bring the furniture inside. What's more, with the optional integrated LED lighting, you can enjoy long evenings under your carport. Finally, the optional AKENA privacy screens provide additional protection from prying eyes.

As you can see, your carport is multifunctional.

Storage space

The use of your carport changes with the seasons. In winter, it allows you to store all your summer equipment: garden furniture, bicycles, barbecue... and all this in a protected and enclosed space. Thanks to the carport, your equipment will not be damaged. Not to mention the winter storage of your plants, which will be sheltered under the carport and therefore not be affected by the cold or frost.
