Metal Vs. Timber; Choosing The Right Carport For Your Home

A carport is a great addition to your home

A carport is a great addition to your home. Not only does it provide you with a shaded area to help protect your car from the harsh Australian climate, but it can also provide with the ultimate domestic multi-functional living space for entertainment and relaxation.

Having said this, it is truly a challenge to tell which type of carport would suit you best. Now to help you make the most of your outdoor living project, I gather the information you need to know about the two most popular carports in Australia today - the steel/metal carports and the timber carports.

Sleek and Stylish

Because of its futuristic appeal, metal or steel carport charms individuals who have a knack for contemporary designs. This type of carport usually comes in two kinds - steel and aluminium. The metal/steel carport is a popular choice due to various reasons.

It does not rot, warp or twist

It is impervious to termites

It is also resistant to corrosion and fire

It does not rust and is very strong as well as durable

Steel carport is flexible design-wise. You can choose from various sizes and have it attached or freestanding. Also, you are not limited to flat roof or gable designs, curved roofs is also possible which can create striking looks that highlight your home's existing design.

Traditional and Classic

Timber is known for breathing a rustic appeal to any living space. As such, a timber carport makes the perfect project to achieve a laid-back and serene atmosphere. However, timber is sensitive to moisture. It expands and contracts as the weather changes. This means you have to do more maintenance. You need to apply a sealant or coating to make your timber carport last for many years. The good news about using timber is, if you want a change its colour, it is as simple as a new paint job.

Whether it is a metal or timber carport, you can either buy it in prefab or have it built by a professional. In my opinion, you will have more freedom in expressing your desired design if you choose the latter.
