Once you have decided to invest in a carport for your home, the next stage is deciding what type of carport design to choose and it is therefore important to go though the following important features to look out for when choosing a carport.
Framework – As you can imagine, there’s a range of different framework materials that carports are available in. In order to help you choose the best quality material, we advise that you look up the material types and find out the advantages and disadvantages of each. This blog post lists the level of benefits for the most common framework materials – PVC, Steel, Aluminium & Timber.
Roof Material – The roof material is just as important as the framework. Again there are a few materials that different companies offer and it’s best to research the materials or ask the supplier for technical information.

Trustworthy Suppliers – The supplier is just as important as the product supplied, if not more important! Always read the about us pages on their websites and check to see how much experience they have within the industry. Look out for previous customer testimonials and if in doubt, ask if you can contact any previous customers to hear their recommendations for yourself.
Ease of Installation – Whether you are planning on installing your carport yourself or paying for the supplier or a third company to install it for you, it is important that you choose a product that is easy and quick to install with clear and precise instructions. This helps you of course if you are installing it yourself as this saves you time and aggravation, but if you are paying someone else to install it for you, the quicker & simpler the installation, the less it will cost you to get it fitted. All of our products within the Simplicity carport range have been designed with ease & speed of installation in mind. The Simplicity 16 is our quickest and easiest carport to install.
Company Website – It is important that the company you choose to purchase your carport from has a clear, precise & up front website that is easy to navigate. You need to be able to find the information you require easily. Also the more information they offer, the better because this will help you make your choice.
