SKAN HOLZ Friesland carport
The Friesland 546 x 555 cm carport offers a high-quality, durable and functional solution for covered car parking or as a sheltered outdoor area. The stable structure of impregnated softwood combined with a robust EPDM roof covering ensures weather resistance and low maintenance while maintaining a natural look.
- Exterior dimensions 546 x 555 cm: ideal for one or two cars or as a covered parking area
- Structure: Solid, impregnated spruce wood (not kiln dried) with strong 11.5 x 11.5 cm posts
- Weather protection: Surfaces flooded with glaze twice on all sides at the factory to reduce swelling and shrinkage behaviour; repair glaze for cut and assembly areas included in the scope of delivery.
- High-quality roof covering: 20 mm roof boarding with fully bonded EPDM foil - durable, elastic and UV-resistant
- Post anchoring: Including 60 cm H-post anchor made of galvanised flat steel for setting in concrete in point foundations to be created on site.
- Roof finish: Profiled wood trim with aluminium end edge for a clean, durable finish
Treatment and care instructions:
- The wood is protected by the water-based impregnation, but has an increased residual moisture content. Minor drying cracks or resin leakage are natural characteristics and do not reduce the structural strength.
- The kit is pre-treated at the factory so that you can start assembly immediately after delivery. An enclosed repair quantity of glaze enables the professional post-treatment of drill holes and interfaces. If you would like an additional finish, we recommend light sanding and a coat of high-quality glaze after assembly.
- When selecting the stain, make sure it has good UV protection and follow the manufacturer's processing guidelines. Recommended maintenance intervals are approx. 4-5 years, but at the latest before visible damage occurs.
Technical and planning-relevant information:
- Stability: Connecting the posts with the supplied H-anchors creates a stable and permanent anchoring in the concrete point foundation.
- Foundation: The size and design of the point foundations can be found in the assembly instructions. On request, you can receive the appropriate foundation plan together with the anchors - please specify when ordering.
- Laying the EPDM foil: The EPDM roof covering is supplied as a large-area foil and cold-bonded. EPDM is characterised by its high elasticity, long service life and very good UV protection.
The Friesland carport impresses with its well thought-out details, high-quality materials and easy assembly. It is ideal for customers who are looking for a durable, visually appealing and functional canopy for their outdoor area.
Construction
The construction is made of impregnated softwood. Spruce and pine wood, which is not technically-dried, acquires its greenish color from metal salts released by the impregnating agent. They protect wood against fungus and insect infestations, but do not contain UV protection. Impregnation gives wood higher residual moisture. Subsequent drying can lead to release of resin, twisting and formation of drying cracks, which pose no static disadvantage and rather reflect the natural materials used.
Colour treatment
The colour-treated components are coated with a layer of paint at the factory. The coating allows the natural wood grain to remain visible whilst ensuring a uniform surface finish. The components are coated on all sides twice at the factory, after which any excess material is brushed off.
Thanks to this factory pre-treatment, the components can be assembled immediately upon delivery. A primer coat prior to assembly is not required. Each kit also includes a quantity of wood stain or paint for touching up cut edges, screw holes or any damage caused during assembly. These areas should be treated in accordance with the installation instructions.
For a personalised finish, the visible wooden surfaces can be lightly sanded after assembly and treated with a suitable wood stain or paint. Components that have been colour-treated on all sides may show storage marks due to technical reasons.
Roof covering
The roofing consists of 19 mm-thick timber roof boarding with EPDM foil. This material is suitable for roofs with a low pitch and is characterised by its elastic properties as well as high resistance to weathering and UV radiation. It is installed in a single piece using cold bonding with the adhesive supplied, thereby reducing the number of joints. The material is flexible to work with and is designed for use as roof waterproofing.
Bracing
The building kit includes 60 cm-long H-post anchors of galvanized flat steel for embedding in concrete in the site-built deep foundation (for size and lay-out see assembly instructions). They firmly connect the posts to the subsurface to ensure high stability.
