The SKAN HOLZ snow load reinforcement consists of additional rafters which you fit between the existing roof rafters. This reduces the rafter spacing of the carport, thereby increasing its overall load-bearing capacity. The number and size of the rafters vary depending on the carport.
The snow load increases the carport’s snow load capacity to 2.5 kN/m².
This snow load reinforcement kit contains 6 additional rafters and is compatible with the following models:
- Carport Emsland 402 (404) x 846 cm
- Breisgau carport 402 x 840 cm
- Carport Wendland 409 x 870 cm
- Untreated in color
Pleasenote:
The snow load cannot be retrofitted to these carports. Please check the required snow load limit for your residential area before assembly.
Construction
The construction is made of glued laminate timber, consisting of several dried layers, attached to one another with finger-jointing. They are glued onto one another for weather-resistance. This results in a load-bearing beam which is more resistant to warping and less prone to fissures than naturally grown wood.
Colour treatment
This kit is supplied untreated in color. This gives you the option to paint the surfaces according to your own design preferences and to match them to their surroundings.
As timber used outdoors is exposed to the elements, a suitable protective coat is recommended. To ensure the treatment is as even as possible, the first coat should be applied to all sides of the timber components before assembly. Suitable wood protection products may be used for this purpose in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
To preserve the appearance of the wood in the long term, regular care and maintenance are advisable. The required maintenance intervals depend, amongst other things, on the location, weather conditions and the chosen coating. Please follow the relevant application and care instructions provided by the manufacturers of the products used.
