“Recently purchased and installed a Double Carport. Pros: Supplied with all the kit, finished product looks great, can be installed by a DIY'er. Cons: Lack of instructions. The hardest part about the assembly is getting the ground anchors set correctly and level. Once that was done it went up pretty quickly. Please note that the main supports are very long so unless you have a 4x4 with a roof box, they may need to be trimmed to size. The PVC roofing material is quiet flimsy, but once it goes down it looks good. All in all, I would recommend and a carpenter friend said that it's very good value for money.”
“Im very impressed with the build quality of the Carport I ordered. It seems to be of very high quality. However, the roof was a bit tricky to fix in position as is a bit on the flimsy side”
“For my situation I wanted it to be 5M wide and 6M deep, and it would have been helpful if this had been an option. As it was I extended it by 1M to meet my double garage. I also wanted a pitched roof for drainage. The corrugated roofing sheets were rather flimsy and insufficient to cover my extended length, so I used 16mm three-ply polycarbonate panels, which have yielded a much better overall result, but adding c. 1000 to the cost.”
“purchased carport last year.added OSB sheets under plastic roofing to give it some stability. adjusted 45deg bracing to allow for fall plus added internal 45deg braces to stabilise roof structure. STILL EXCELLENT VALUE very easy to assembly”
“I brought this double carport during lock down, so i was amazed how quickly it came. This gave me an aim during lockdown, and I was well impressed with quality and price. Would definitely buy from here again.”
“I bought this carport for a customer and had to modify it slightly to make it fit the space she has. Delivery took the full 14 days stated. The driver was very helpful and made every effort to accommodate the difficult access to the property. On opening the package I found it to be soaking wet. The instructions were stuck together and unusable. Fortunately I had gotten a pdf version from Tuin earlier but they were very basic and I was told the instructions with the delivery would be better. When I dried them out enough to prise the pages apart, they were the same version, so not much help. I bought Bolt-down feet but they do not come with bolts. M10 fit perfectly, not M8 as Tuin told me. Two of the uprights had very bad shakes (splits) in them and one of the side beams was badly warped but I could not have them replaced as I was on a tight time schedule. Whoever packed this item should have done a quality check before it went out. There were not enough roof fixings so I bought an extra 100 and used most of them. There were not enough brackets which hold the cross beams to the side supports. In my view each beam should have two brackets at each end. The corrugated roof is of square design which is okay although it is a bit flimsy. I also needed to put a slight slope to it for water run-off which meant all the diagonal supports needed to have the angle changed. I cut these with a power saw with no problem but they are held to the uprights & side supports with 3 inch nails. Again not good enough so I used external 3 inch screws instead. A much better job. Overall, I'd say this carport is of reasonable quality but with a few minor and simple changes, it could be very good. Listen up Tuin, a few more brackets, some more roof fixings and better instructions, (add a tenner to the price if you must), and it could get rave reviews.”
“Excellent value for money double carport, very robust and a doddle to construct using the online printable instructions,would have given five stars but roof sheets a bit flimsy,recommended.”
