Carport Heights
Standard carports have a 2.1m clearance. (this is due to standard pole lengths)
That's not to say we can't make them bigger! If you need something higher for your boat, truck, or whatever, we can make carports with bigger clearances. Talk to one of our sales team about larger heights. For your understanding read the "tie down types" below.
You will also need to bear in mind that your height will be affected by the type of tie down required.
Tie Down Types
When ordering a carport you should clarify the type of tie down required.
Type 1 :If you have an existing concrete slab, for a standard carport the posts will be the height of 2.1m clearance at the front with a fall of 200 mm to the back of 1.9m clearance
Type 2 : If you intend to pour a slab, you should consider concreting the posts into the footings. This will ensure the carport is extremely well braced, limiting any sway that may occur in cyclonic areas. Also, by concreting the posts into the footing you will gain an extra height of 200mm front and back.
This is because the posts are supplied to Mecano in 8m and 6m lengths - This means a 6m post can be cut into a 2.1m and two 1.9m, and a 8m length can be cut into three 2.65m lengths.
Footing depths are generally 600mm deep (with slab) or 900mm with footings only. The Posts only needs to be under the top of the concrete 300mm in either case: This means the front of the shed will have a clearance of 2.3m while the back posts can be placed 500mm from the top of slab so there is a 200 mm fall.
Type 3. Non Standard - Type 1 and 2 are usually limited to domestic use. Should you require a carport with extra height, please let the sales staff know your requirements: The rule of thumb is to simply use them 8m and 6m lengths and then figure out the post lengths depending on stock.
