Carports Brisbane

A car port is an open sided roofed structure for protecting, or partially protecting vehicles from the sun and weather conditions. Typically a carport is open sided, or will have only two walls allowing the car to be parked without the opening of any gate or door. Carports can be single (for one car), double (for two cars) or larger, however a very large carport might be referred to as a covered parking, whereas the term carport usually refers to a single or double residential covered parking area attached to a house or similar property.

Materials

Carports are usually built using a steel, wood or aluminum frame. In Brisbane Australia the most common material for building carports is wood, due to the abundance of wood available. In Queensland carports are very popular as a way of shielding your car from sun in the summer, and also from the hail-storms which can damage cars. In some cases roofs may be made of corrugated metal.

Designs

Some carports are freestanding, meaning that they are not attached to any building. This type of carport usually has no walls at. Carports are often attached to people’s homes, often detached and semi-detached houses may feature a double or single carport at either end of the property.

Decks Brisbane

Decking is wooden planks fastened together to make a wooden floor structure. In Brisbane Australia, decking is very popular due to the good weather and outdoor lifestyle in Queensland. Decking is often found under verandahs, pergolas and around swimming doors and outdoor living areas. Typically decking is made from treated wood making it water-resistant and protected from the elements. Brisbane Queensland experiences a range of weather conditions from strong sun to very heavy rain and hail so all decking structures in Brisbane need to be heavy duty and weather-proof.

Decking Timber

Timber quality is important, as are the aesthetics of the decking itself. Decking is typically made from hardwood since this is durable and can withstand the weather conditions in Brisbane. Decking can also be made from composite materials (plastics) and other fiber board, and ply wood (although these are less popular in Brisbane).

Pool Decking

Pool decks are very popular in Brisbane due to a large number of residential properties having outdoor pools and recreational areas. Pool decks need to be able to withstand chemicals used in swimming pools as well as resilient to termites and other pests.

Room Enclosures Brisbane

Room enclosures are similar to a walled off verandah, but not a full extension of a room. This is cheaper than a home extension and offers a certain amount of security and protection from the elements. Enclosures are popular in Brisbane, due to the warm conditions and outdoor lifestyle. Room enclosures are not usually insulated and may be partially open and ventilated. Room enclosures offer an extension of a room without a full scale and expensive extension of your home.

Room enclosures can be made from a variety of materials, wood, aluminum, steel or cladding. Room enclosures offer more privacy than a traditional verandah, offer a certain amount of security and may be cheaper than home extensions due to savings in material costs, production time and planning, architectural designs, inspections and taxes.

Pergolas

A pergola is an open sided structure, a roofed walkway structure often used for screening and sometimes with a permeable roof not entirely waterproof but used for shading. Sometimes the roof may be thatched, lattice or timber. Pergolas are often made to provide support for straggling and climbing plants like ivy, roses and other plants. The area beneath the pergola often used for walking, relaxing or even sporting activities – all in a pleasant garden environment. Pergolas are made from vertical columns which support the roof or shades above, they may be found along walkways and also as standalone structures in the garden – similar to a Gazebo in some respects.

Pergola Types

Garden Pergolas

Garden pergolas can greatly enhance a garden landscape setting and give a discerning elegance to any property. Garden Pergolas range in size from small structures just large enough to fit a few chairs, to very large structures large enough to fit over a tennis court.

Walkway Pergolas

Walkway Pergolas are usually long structure which may cover a garden path, walkway or even a driveway leading up to a property.

Entrance Pergolas

An Entrance pergola is a type of covered walkway which leads up to the front or back door to a house. Often these type of pergolas form an archway often with climbing plants.

Verandahs Brisbane

Verandahs

A verandah is a roof which covers an opened or partly enclosed porch or outdoor gallery area. Verandahs often have a sloping or lean-to roof which not only provides protection from the rain but also from the sun during the hot months. verandahs can be small, but many extend to cover an outdoor pathway into the home, often covering steps and leading between fronts to back doors of the house. verandahs are usually pleasant seating areas. Verandahs are often very decorative and relaxing; many people have a dining area, comfortable chairs or sofas, sun-loungers for relaxation and more. Some more up-scale verandahs can even cover swimming pools and outdoor cooking areas.

Types of Verandahs

Curved Verandahs – Curved verandahs have a curved roof which look more elegant than the flat roof designs. They are nice because they break up the harsh straight lines of many buildings, although may be a little to fancy for some peoples tastes in some cases.

Flat Verandahs – The flat roof can accommodate most building types and area shapes. Flat roof verandahs are flexible and usually less expensive than curved roof verandahs.

Gazebos – Gazebos are a verandah type structure, but not attached to a building – they are a free standing pavilion like structure. Gazebos are designed to provide shelter from the elements and are often found in gardens.

Sunroof Verandahs – This type of Verandah features an opening roof, giving you the best of the weather whichever you choose. Gable Verandahs – A gable verandah is a lightweight designed verandah with framed roof structure.
