All our wood is FSC or PEFC-certified and sourced from sustainably managed forests. ![Timber carport structure](https://solspan.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/OPM%20+-v_2019_0008.png?width=3840&height=2160&name=OPM%20+-v_2019_0008.png) ### Flexible Designs Single and double row configurations available, starting at two spaces - all fully customisable and with no parking space lost. ![20230914_192659 copie](https://solspan.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/20230914_192659%20copie.jpg?width=1024&height=576&name=20230914_192659%20copie.jpg) ### 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. ![marita-kavelashvili-ugnrXk1129g-unsplash](https://solspan.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/marita-kavelashvili-ugnrXk1129g-unsplash.jpg?width=4288&height=2848&name=marita-kavelashvili-ugnrXk1129g-unsplash.jpg) ## Timber Carport UK 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. ## Download our brochure View our full range of carports in our brochure.
