CliKIT on TVHow to close your carport?
Lovers of fine machinery always want the best for their car, but everyday drivers also have every reason to protect their vehicle with a shelter. Of course, using a garage is the obvious solution in such cases, but sometimes space can be lacking due to various items in storage, or simply because another vehicle is already occupying that enclosed room in the house. Fortunately, solutions exist, and for several years now, the carport has been one of those favoured by all homeowners with a vehicle.
Much more than simple protection
As aesthetically pleasing as they are practical, these structures continue to spring up around properties and also have other advantages beyond simply protecting a vehicle, offering a shaded area and several possibilities, particularly during the summer months.
Within the framework of the made-to-measure carports offered by CliKIT, the modular and adaptable aspect is once again highlighted for the protection of these shelters.
This gives owners the possibility of modifying their installation and thus potentially closing it on the sides. On this subject, how do you close your carport?
Choosing the right roof for your carport
Before wanting to close the sides of your carport, do not rush things. First and foremost, when designing your carport, it is essential to make the right choice — practical or aesthetic — regarding your roof. Of course, these things may differ depending on whether you have a wooden carport or an aluminium one, but at CliKIT, the polycarbonate panels fitted as roofing will change how you use and what you expect from your carport, even before proceeding with closing this type of shelter.
There are three main families of panels of this type for aluminium carport structures, and where the clearest of them will let in more light, the most tinted will conversely, and quite logically, provide a more comfortable temperature under the structure.
Every feature must fit perfectly according to your needs and desires, but thanks to CliKIT, this is perfectly managed, following the same principle as made-to-measure manufacturing — including the choice of dimensions and the various colours of the structure. The same applies when you wish to close your carport, for winter, summer or on a permanent basis.
Why partially close your carport?
Logically, most of the hazards or disturbances your vehicle could suffer come from above. Leaves, rain or snow are the obvious examples, but these are not the only things to consider when you want to park your car outside or under a carport. In spring, pollen also manages to settle on bodywork from the sides of the structure, and the same goes for leaves when winds are stronger than usual.
The fact remains that it is for this reason interesting to sometimes close your carport in order to ensure a more enclosed feel, retaining more shade and fewer openings to the outside. This can be a practical solution in many respects and not only for a vehicle! If you choose to store your bins, the family's bicycles or other belongings under the same structure, the benefits will be equally advantageous.
Especially if the children tend to lack surgical precision when playing with a ball! The experience is all too familiar and can therefore be avoided with a closed carport — and indeed with all shelters of this kind.
Fortunately, there are several solutions for closing your structure, particularly thanks to well-designed carports that are resolutely capable of adapting to all needs, always made to measure.
Solutions for closing your carport
Depending on the budget, conclusions drawn after a few weeks of use, or changing desires, it is entirely possible to modify your carport after installation. Always thanks to made-to-measure technology designed to evolve, the CliKIT carport can be closed on one, two or three sides whenever the owner wishes, using a variety of means. Which ones?
Glass curtains for closing your carport
In winter garden or ultra-modern pergola mode, glass curtains lend a rare elegance to your carport. These shelters have nothing to envy from other structures, and the closed look is even more attractive, in addition to the protection provided.
Closing your carport with blinds and shade sails
Adding pergola blinds or shade sails to your carport is not always the preferred solution, and yet it is probably the one that offers the most possibilities! By adjusting the height of the blinds, it is entirely possible to adapt to outdoor conditions and the needs of the moment.
Regarding the shade sails to be fitted to your carport, the appeal is primarily economic and can in particular allow, in summer, to reduce the heat around the parked vehicle.
Side panels for closing your carport
This is logically the preferred solution for closing one or more sides of your carport. Designed to protect against wind, rain and heat, the side panels for pergola come in a wide range of formats and materials. They offer almost limitless modulation around your vehicle or any other item stored under your carport.
