Timber Solar Carports
Our timber solar carports combine the natural beauty and low-carbon credentials of wood with precision engineering to deliver solar carport structures that are as strong as they are striking. Ideal for rural settings, eco-conscious projects in highly visible locations, and any site where aesthetics and sustainability matter.
Why Choose a Wooden or Timber Solar Carport?
Solar carports manufactured from timber have a number of benefits, including:
Architectural Beauty
Wood has a warm, natural look which blends beautifully with traditional and contemporary buildings alike.
Eco-Friendly & Responsibly Sourced
Timber is a renewable material with a lower carbon footprint. All our wood is FSC or PEFC-certified and sourced from sustainably managed forests.
Flexible Designs
Single and double row configurations available, starting at two spaces - all fully customisable and with no parking space lost.
No Parking Spaces Lost
Our timber solar carports are designed to minimise the post footprint - ensuring that damage to cars is avoided and no parking spaces are lost
Our Sourcing
Where do we source our timber?
All our glulam timber is sourced from sustainably managed (FSC or PEFC certifed) forests in Europe, including from France and Germany.
We use primarily spruce and larch glulam, which are renewable softwoods but also known for effective weather resistance.
Our wood is certified Class 3 under EN335 regulations (meaning it is certified for outdoor use) and is treated with autoclave technology to enhance resistance to moisture and decay.
Timber Carport Product Features
Extremely Robust
We use glue-laminated or solid timber frames, which provide an extremely high strength-to-weight ratio compared to alternatives like steel.
Reduced Cost & Disruption
A lower structure weight comparative to steel requires smaller foundations, which reduce cost and minimise on-site disruption.
Easy Expansion
The modular design of our timber carports enables them to be easily extended as required.
Integrated drainage
Gutters and downpipes are unobtrusively built in to ensure rapid, effective water run off
Galvanised Footings
All our wooden canopies include galvanised steel footings to increase the longevity of the timber.
Optional Lighting and Subroof
Choose from additional features such as built-in lighting, or our unique Nexus subroof system, which offers waterproofing while keeping the solar panels visible.
