123v Cantilever Carports for Covered Parking

123v cantilever carports are open-sided structures that provide sturdy weather protection. As car shelters which are ideal for larger vehicles, our cantilever carport installations do not require permanent posts or further ground work. Every carport canopy from 123v serves both aesthetic and practical functions a cantilever carport is a bespoke addition to your property and all our custom canopy constructions are long-lasting, as reflected in our 10 year guarantee.

Our cantilever carport beams are hand laminated in Glass Reinforced Polyester, a modern version of fibreglass. A GRP roofing has an aluminium spine the length of the beam which adds considerable strength to the structure. This aluminium spine in our carport beams also prevents tearing when subjected to additional strain from wind or snow. It also greatly assists the grip on the roof sheeting fixings, preventing lifting from high wind speeds.

Our cantilever carport beams are normally fixed to the supporting wall with mechanical (20mm diameter) or chemical anchors manufactured by Hilti Great Britain and Rawbolt. The choice is dependent on the base material from which the wall is made. If there is any doubt over the supporting wall s suitability we have the facility, in-house, to carry out onsite pull-out load testing.

To fit a cantilever carport to a bungalow requires brackets to spread the load over the supporting wall but, done correctly, this is as safe and secure as on any other structure. Cantilever carports have the advantage of not creating obstacles on a driveway or pathway, however the projection is limited to 3629mm (11 9 ).
