Single-sided carports: planning, design and functionality

Architectural considerations and practical solutions
When planning a single-sided carport, architects are faced with special challenges relating to both aesthetic integration and functional utilisation. A central point is the design and choice of materials, as a single-sided carport should be harmoniously integrated into the overall architectural concept of the building. It is crucial to choose robust and visually appealing materials that offer both durability and design flexibility. A frequently discussed topic is the statics and stability of single-sided carports. Architects must ensure that the carport complies with local building regulations and has the necessary load-bearing capacity. The load distribution on the support side and the choice of suitable foundation solutions are particularly important. The construction method and structure of a single-sided carport also play a decisive role. People often ask how the construction can be implemented efficiently in order to minimise both the construction costs and the installation effort. In addition, expandability and customisability are key aspects, as many building owners wish to adapt or expand their single-sided carport over time. Modular systems such as the Variobox carport from KÄUFLERLE offer interesting options here, as they provide flexible solutions and can be customised to individual requirements.

    Design and choice of materials

    Which materials are best suited for a single-sided carport?

    For single-sided carports, the choice of material is crucial to ensure both durability and a harmonious integration into the overall architectural concept. Robust materials such as aluminium, steel or high-quality wood offer both weather resistance and visual flexibility. The Variobox carport from KÄUFLERLE has a modular steel structure, galvanised and powder-coated, which is characterised by high resistance and can be adapted to the design of the building with various surface finishes. This means that the carport can be designed in both a modern and classic style.

    How can a one-sided carport be visually integrated into the building concept?

    A single-sided carport can be easily integrated into existing architecture thanks to its minimalist design, especially by choosing matching colours and surfaces. The Variobox carport from KÄUFLERLE offers a wide range of customisation options that allow the carport design to be harmoniously integrated into the building façade. Architects can choose between different surface textures and coatings to create a visual unity between the carport and the house. The filigree construction of a single-sided carport is particularly suitable for modern buildings with clean lines and minimalist design.

    Statics and stability

    What are the structural requirements for single-sided carports?

    The statics of a single-sided carport are of central importance, as all loads (snow, wind, etc.) are concentrated on one side. Architects must ensure that the structure complies with regional building regulations and has sufficient load-bearing capacity. The Variobox carport from KÄUFLERLE offers a reinforced support side and special foundation solutions that stabilise the one-sided structure. In addition, wind and snow load calculations can be carried out in order to optimally secure the structure.

    Which foundation solutions are recommended for single-sided carports?

    Single-sided carports require stable and resilient foundation solutions, as the entire load is concentrated on one side. KÄUFLERLE offers special foundation options for the Variobox carport that are suitable for both paved and unpaved ground. Concrete foundations offer the highest stability and durability. The placement and dimensioning of the foundation must be carefully planned to ensure both stability and aesthetics. Architects should observe regional building regulations, which can vary depending on the soil and climatic conditions.

    Design and construction

    How is a single-sided carport constructed?

    The construction of a single-sided carport should be realised efficiently and with minimal effort. With the Variobox carport, KÄUFLERLE relies on a modular construction system that enables architects and building owners to erect the carport quickly and without major structural interventions. Thanks to prefabricated components, installation can often be completed within a few days. The precise production of the modules ensures that the individual components can be joined together precisely, which not only shortens the construction time but also reduces costs.

    How can construction costs and installation work be minimised for a single-sided carport?

    The use of modular components, such as those offered by the Variobox carport from KÄUFLERLE, significantly reduces both construction costs and installation work. As most of the parts are prefabricated, they only need to be assembled on site. This not only saves time, but also minimises the use of heavy equipment or complex foundation work. In addition, the carport can be planned in such a way that it can be flexibly adapted to local conditions. Precise pre-planning and the selection of a modular system are key to reducing costs and effort.

    Expandability and customisability

    Can a single-sided carport be extended later?

    Yes, single-sided carports such as the Variobox carport from KÄUFLERLE offer the option of being extended or converted at a later date thanks to their modular design. This makes it possible to flexibly adapt the carport to growing needs, whether by adding an additional parking space or through visual customisation. The extension modules are designed so that they can be seamlessly connected to the existing structure. This is particularly advantageous for architects who are planning for the future and want to offer their clients flexible options.

    What customisation options are available for single-sided carports?

    With the Variobox carport, KÄUFLERLE offers numerous customisation options that allow architects to adapt the carport exactly to the wishes of their clients. In addition to the choice of material and colour, additional elements such as side walls, integrated lighting or special roof constructions can be added. The modular customisation options ensure that the carport not only meets the client's and architect's requirements functionally, but also aesthetically. This customisability means that both modern and traditional architectural projects can be catered for.

    Weather and corrosion protection

    How weatherproof are single-sided carports?

    Single-sided carports must be robust and weatherproof, especially in regions with extreme weather conditions such as strong winds or snowfall. The Variobox carport from KÄUFLERLE relies on weather-resistant materials such as powder-coated aluminium, which is corrosion-resistant and easy to maintain. In addition, special roof constructions and drainage systems can be integrated to drain rainwater efficiently. This protection ensures that the carport remains functional and visually appealing for years to come.

    What maintenance requirements do single-sided carports have?

    Single-sided carports, such as the Variobox carport from KÄUFLERLE, are largely maintenance-free thanks to their robust materials. Aluminium and steel only require occasional cleaning to remove dirt and debris. Timber options, on the other hand, require regular after-treatment to maintain their weather resistance. Suppliers such as KÄUFLERLE offer carports that require minimal maintenance, which makes them particularly attractive to architects and building owners who favour a low-maintenance solution for the long term. Special surface treatments additionally protect the materials from corrosion and UV radiation.

    FAQs

    Garage doors

    Please contact our customer service when all preliminary work (such as laying the cables) has been completed and the gate area can be walked on freely. We will then arrange an individual appointment with you.
    After your door system has been approved, you will receive a cable routing plan tailored to your order. This plan shows all the cables that the electrician you have commissioned will need in order to carry out all the work.
    Inspections and maintenance of gate systems are regulated by law in Germany. However, many operators of gate systems are not aware that they have this responsibility. We would be happy to make you an offer for one-off maintenance or a maintenance contract. Your gate system will then be serviced once a year by our expert fitters.
    Door systems are subject to heavy use on a daily basis, which can result in wear and tear. Thanks to the simple and clear design, some parts can be replaced quickly. Our customer service will be happy to help you. You can reach us on 0180 3900505 or at [email protected].

    Due to defined exceptions in the standards and guidelines, an emergency stop command device is not mandatory for our door systems, which of course comply with the latest state of the art.

    Please replace both springs. The springs are calculated for fixed load changes. If one spring breaks, the second spring is also just before the calculated breaking limit and should therefore be replaced. Our customer service team can offer you the necessary spare parts or carry out the repair of the gate system on request.

    Partition systems

    We will be happy to supply you with a locking cylinder for each door. However, this is not integrated into the locking system of your building. If you prefer a cylinder that matches the locking system, you will need a half cylinder in size 10/30 for our UTS doors with a PZ handle and a half cylinder in size 30/60 for doors with a lever handle set.
