Canopies from polycarbonate are optimal solution for motorists who wish to protect the machine from adverse weather conditions. In comparison with capital garage to make frame canopy is much simpler and cheaper. Even if you have such garage, in this case availability of canopy all the same will not prevent. If to you there arrive guests, it is useful for the parking of their cars.
Types of canopies from carbonate for car
The most popular design are autocanopies with arched roof. The canopy from polycarbonate of this kind has number of advantages: - lack of joints and gaps which need to be closed;
- availability of two slopes thanks to what snow descends from roof with smaller accumulation and on it does not accumulate water; - esthetic form.
Canopies for cars can be made of polycarbonate with arched or semi-arched roof and also with single-pitch or gable roof.
The autocanopy roof with single-pitch roof leans on support of various height. Such canopy from polycarbonate possesses the following preimushchestvamy: - all precipitation flows down only from bottom edge of roof; - lack of gaps and joints. The autocanopy with gable roof possesses two slopes which interfere with stagnation of dead leaves, snow and other attributes of bad weather.
Advantages of canopies from carbonate
Canopies from polycarbonate represent light-weight and rugged constructions which effectively protect vehicles from atmospheric precipitation, the scorching sun, the falling foliage. Canopies for car not only protect the machine from precipitation, but also can become the great shelter, for example, for owners without umbrella from rain. Under canopy it is also possible to place barbecue. From polycarbonate it is also possible to refer to merits of canopies opportunity to choose the exact amount of construction. The sizes of such designs determine by the sizes of the car and the site provided for it. The canopy can be entered in the existing exterior, harmoniously combining design with architecture of cottage or the house. As a rule, the framework for canopies is made of strong metal which is exposed previously to coloring and pro-primer. On framework sheets of polycarbonate are mounted. Mounting of canopy can be carried out by means of welding, but there are also ready designs which gather without welding on the place. For covering of canopy use either monolithic, or cellular polycarbonate. The combination of these materials allows to create various design solutions of canopies.
Polycarbonate has high strength and well bends.
For the best protection the canopies from carbonate can be sheathed designs from all directions. In this case the autocanopy will prevent freezing of locks of the car during winter time of year. That cold air did not get into design and in it the effect of hotbed remained, apply the cellular polycarbonate having the cellular structure filled with air. In comparison with construction of garage the country canopy is mounted immediately. Rather inexpensive price and variety of material selection are advantages of autocanopy too. If to buy components of canopy and independently to collect it, it will cost to you still cheaper.
How to construct autocanopy of polycarbonate
Before beginning to build autocanopy of carbonate, it is necessary to create the project or to outline the sketch of your future construction. It must be done taking into account that it has to fit into style of the house and the other constructions located at your dacha. Though polycarbonate is very light material, the design has to consider snow and wind load which it will begin to bear on itself(himself). At construction of autocanopy it will be required to you: - sheets of polycarbonate; - circular drill with disk and with the small not divorced teeth - for cutting of sheets of carbonate; - the screw driver - for attachment of sheets of carbonate; - electric drill with standard drills; - aluminum and perforated films - for sealing of sheets of carbonate; - the welding machine with electrodes; - thermowashers and self-tapping screws; - material for load-carrying structure. For production of load-carrying structure of autocanopy it is possible to use metal pipe, corner, wooden bar. The kind of materials and their quantity depend on the sizes and type of desirable design of canopy. At the first stage of construction of autocanopy the territory marking where he will settle down is made. After that the base under future design is laid. Only the bearing racks are usually filled in. The column base created under specific support of canopy will become optimal solution. Further, after base construction, mounting of load-carrying structures from metal or tree is carried out. In the second case it is necessary to make antiseptic or anticorrosive processing of design. After that roofing furring to which, in turn, polycarbonate is mounted is mounted. Its sheets have to be oriented so that the condensate accumulated in carbonate cavities could flow down outside. Floor at autocanopy is carried out on your taste. It can be wooden flooring, paving slabs or grass lawn. In conclusion of works the electrical wiring for power supply of electric devices under autocanopy and for its lighting is brought.
