Stratco Carports and Why You Need Them A carport is a useful addition to the property, often extending beyond their expected usages and can be a great alternative to a garage. The minimal structure consists of a roof and columns for structural integrity. It is an incredibly versatile piece and can be attached to the side of the home, seamlessly blending it with the property or as a freestanding structure. Benefits of Having a Carport The most obvious and common usage of a carport is to protect the vehicle from being damaged by the harsh weather elements, such as sunlight, rain or hail. In addition to protecting the car, it also serves to protect the driver and passenger when getting in and out or with loading and unloading. An alternative use for a carport is to utilise the space as an outdoor entertainment space or lounge for hosting barbeques, dinner parties, or even just to spend some time outside with family. Set up some outdoor furniture for the festivities without having to worry about the weather ruining a planned birthday party. Moreover, it can be a space for the children to play outside during the summer holidays, keeping the mess outdoors and spend time away from the television. Stratco Carports are also extremely cost-effective and reasonably cheap to have installed. The simple structure makes installation a fairly straightforward process compared to building an enclosed garage. Moreover, carports do not require flooring to be a fully functional area. Flat or Gabled Common carports come in either a flat roof or gabled roof varieties. The flat roof carport is the most economical, both in cost and installation speed. The roof, by definition, is a simple flat structure placed on top of the supporting posts. It is slightly angled to enable rain and snow to flow off it. A gabled roof consists of two sloping pieces that meet at the ridge to form a triangular point. It is a slightly more complicated structure compared to the flat roof but is very appealing. The Stratco Outback Heritage range offers both traditional and Dutch gables. A Dutch gable is a hybrid of a gable and hip roof with the gable placed at the top of the hip roof for more space and enhanced aesthetic appeal. Aesthetically, the gabled roof complements contemporary homes very well whilst also maintaining the look and feel of traditional Australian architecture. Why a Gabled Roof? The pitched roof, other than being aesthetically appealing, is a very practical invention. The sloping sides allow weather elements such as rain and snow to flow off easily without clumping. Weather will just run off the edges of the roof, providing significant protection and a natural displacement system. A gabled roof also provides more space. The vaulted ceiling isn’t just visually impressive but works as an innovative means of adding space and value. It might not seem like much but the extra height makes for efficient inflow and outflow of air and heat. If you’re looking to install a carport to your property, consider Outdoor Impressions.
