Light Steel Carport

Steel Structures, Mezzanine Floors, KwaZulu Natal, Durban, Ballito, Hillcrest, Amanzimtoti, Pinetown, Gauteng, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Midrand, South Africa

The structure of a light steel carport is of great importance. Purlin spacing, the size of the beam channels, the pitch and the posts all form part of the structure that will ensure the success or failure of the carport over time and especially during inclement weather like heavy rain and strong winds.

A purlin is the name of the channels that the IBR roof is attached to; these channels require certain dimensions depending on the span (Span is how long the purlins and beams are apart from supporting ends) the purlins also require a maximum allowable spacing to support the IBR sheets which is typically 1200-1300mm apart.

Typically lipped “C” channels are used for the beams and purlins in a light steel carport structure.

A “cheaper” carport is possible by skimping on materials thereby reducing the materials cost.
If the beams and purlins are too light for the span, and spaced too far apart and even worse if the pitch (Pitch is the slope of the roof) is too small the structure would not be able to support itself during inclement weather. Typically for a carport roof the minimum pitch for IBR sheets would be 5 degrees.

The result of skimping on these materials and buying a “cheap” carport would mean that if the pitch is too low the rainwater would not drain off the structure fast enough, and then with the purlins too light they would start to bend with the extra weight, with the purlins too far apart the IBR sheets would start to sag and the rainwater will start pooling up on the roof and the structure will eventually collapse under the weight. In the event of strong winds there would be too much movement (flapping) and eventually the pieces would start coming loose and finally blow off. This is the reason that it was cheap to begin with, you get what you pay for.

At Blue Engineering our carports are fit for purpose using the correct material specifications and spacing so that your carport will withstand the inclement weather

Structural Steel Carport with a Cantilever Design

Carports built with structural steel are solid and robust, the stronger materials and structure allows for many more options in the design including cantilever roofs which are a popular choice for carports at factories and commecial building

Cantilever design in a carport offers safety to the structure as there are no front posts for driving mishaps which then create costly repairs.

At Blue Engineering we pre fabricate the entire structure at our factory so site work is limited to civils work and assembly for installation.

Cantilever Carports in Durban - Solar Carports

Structural Steel Carport with a Single Cantilever or Double Cantilever design is ideal for solar panels. Solarports Durban

The double cantilever carport design is ideal for large parking lots and the installation of high volume solar panels on the roof.

The cantilever carports are modular and can be installed as many multiple units for large area coverage.

Solar Panel Carports need a stronge structure and able to stand unaffected by incliment weather.

The structures are pre-fabricated in our factory and then assembled on site during installation.
