Carport Kits that are Easy to Build
Simplifying Installation of Carport Kits
One of the reasons people look to buying carports in kit form is that they want a do it yourself project to do themselves.
The carport kits available from Excalibur Carports have been designed and prepared so that the assembly and installation is made as simple as possible.
1. Consolidated and sent in one pack
Before you even start your project it’s made easier for you with all the materials arriving wrapped in one pack, so you can quickly check off your list of materials and get started.
2. Frame and posts are pre-cut and pre-punched.
This is actually a great time saver. Cutting and drilling the heavier gauge steel that’s in the posts and frame can take a considerable amount of time as well as wearing out your tools and several drill bits. With the posts and frame pre-cut and punched you can keep progressing with your carport.
3. Roof sheets and flashings cut to the lengths needed to install.
Where possible the roof sheets and flashings have been to the length you need to install the carport, so that all you need to do is some final trimming and cutting to shape.
4. Engineering drawings and/or installation guides provided
All the carports come with the engineering drawings and most come with an installation guide or manual to assist you with your project.
As with any construction job you’ll need some time to prepare and some basic tools, but with a bit of common sense, a carport kit can prove to be an excellent way to add value to your home. You get that sense of achievement, knowing that you did it yourself.
Of course there is a second option or buying the carport kit and having your local builder erect it. This can also be good as there is still a saving of time and money to be had.
