Outdoor SunSpaces News

 

Are you car proud with a favourite, at home parking spot? Protecting your car from the wrath of the elements can sometimes be a challenging task (particularly with the ever-present British drizzle!). Carports are an excellent choice for those looking to shelter their car, while maintaining an ease of arrival and exit – the kind that doesn’t come with parking in a garage.

SunSpaces offer a wide range of bespoke carport structures – they come in a variety shapes and styles so that they can fit your personal style, location and vehicle. Not only do carports from SunSpaces offer the utility of protecting your car from exposure to nature and the weather, they also make a serious aesthetic statement! Our carports are made using the highest quality materials, with an aluminium frame and polycarbonate roof to keep your car sheltered from rain and sunlight.

What Carport is suitable for you and what Carport types are there around?

 

SunSpaces guarantee that they have a carport to fit your needs. There are two main types of carport: Pitched Roof Carports and Free-Standing Arched Carports – but what is the difference and which one is right for you? Read on to find out: 

Pitched Roof Carports

Pitched Roof Carports are perfect if you’d like to add shelter to your current drive-way or property. Pitched Roof Carports can fit a range of requirements, they are a great way of utilising the space where you currently park your vehicle. This carport type is fantastic for protecting your vehicle from the elements whilst looking modern – these are not an eye-sore but an eye-catcher. Not only will you have a clean shiny car, you'll have a stylish addition to your home.

We also do Free-Standing Carports which are great for those of you who are looking to have one built away from your property. These are also suitable for business use in a carpark or workspace – they are not just for home use! As you can see from the images above, they are also fantastic for large vehicles like caravans; if you don’t use your caravan all year round, purchasing a free-standing carport is an excellent way of keeping your caravan protected while not in use. Smart huh? 


SunSpaces Free-Standing structures come in single or double frames – so whether it’s a single vehicle you’re looking to protect, or two – we have sizes suitable for you. This carport type is low maintenance and looks extremely stylish, coming in a range of four different colours. Like our Pitched Roof Carport, these are made from high-quality materials; polycarbonate and aluminium, giving you all-round protection whatever the weather. These carports can be customised to your preferences, you get to choose the colour of your carport and the bespoke features you'd like. You can choose from clear (no sunlight blocking), Opal (blocks some sunlight) or Heat-Repelling Clear (protects you from the sun’s rays without blocking light) dependent on your individual preference.

Garden rooms
 
SunSpaces customers have a near-infinite range of different options to choose from when purchasing their garden rooms, but one of the biggest choices you'll have to make before you install your new outdoor retreat is whether to choose fixed panels and sliding doors.

What are fixed panels?

Fixed-panel garden rooms have fixed windows and standard doors which open outwards from the structure itself. These structures are extremely secure, and many people feel that the 'framed' look is better suited to more traditional outdoor designs. We offer three standard colours here at SunSpaces (Graphite Grey, Cream, and White), but customised RAL colours are available too, allowing you to match your garden structure to the colour of your property.

What are sliding walls?

If you wish to achieve a more modern appearance with your SunSpaces garden room, you may prefer our 'sliding wall' option. These structures have glass walls which double as sliding doors - you can slide them open to let the sunshine in, and close them when the weather gets colder. Sliding wall garden rooms are ideal for creating a seamless transition between your home and your garden.
