Carports
|
The timber carport, whether
attached to the house or free
standing is a relatively simple
structure simular to a covered
pergola. That is, a carport is
supported by posts, poles or
piers/columns, the cover is
supported in turn by beams,
rafters and perhaps roofing
battens and the whole MUST be
fixed together to resist wind
forces expected in the area. |
|
Wind forces will tend to push the
structure sideways (lateral forces) and
to lift up the roof and attached members
(uplift forces). For the first named
bracing must be built into the design.
For uplift forces, all fasteners (bolts,
nails, nail plates, stirrups etc) must
together provided strong attachments
from the roofing materials itself down
to the foundations.
