Product Sheet: 5.5 × 6 m Freestanding Carport (4 Posts)
📐 Construction plan for a 4-post freestanding carport:
Slope: 4.76°
Headroom under bracing: 1,931 mm at the front post — 2,351 mm at the rear post. Measurements taken at the lowest point in the room.
🚗 Vehicle dimensions (side mirrors extended) — clearance between posts: 5,600 mm
✔️ City car, sedan, SUV (e.g., Audi Q5: 1,660 mm tall)
✔️ Compact van (e.g., Kangoo: 1,810 mm)
✔️ Trafic-type van (1,971 mm) via the top-side entrance : 2,184 mm clearance under bracing (beam 280)
🅿️ 1 parking space in depth (5.18 m usable) + full width of 6 m: the second lane becomes a workshop, motorcycle and bicycle parking, and storage
🧭 Recommended orientation: lower side (H1) facing prevailing winds and toward the drainage area—this protects the upper entrance from driving rain.
Custom? 3 plans for €19 in the app
Wood type: Solid Douglas fir C24 or autoclave-treated pine, Class 4
Complete professional blueprint in PDF format — 15 pages — all dimensions in mm.
PROJECT DIMENSIONS (plans)
Length: 5.50 m
Width: 6.00 m
Front post height: 2.60 m
Rear post height: 3.10 m
OVERALL DIMENSIONS (including overhangs)
Overall length: 6.00 m
Overall width: 6.52 m
Overall front height: 2.87 m
Overall rear height: 3.37 m
Actual dimensions of the structure: including roof overhangs and roofing thickness (joists + battens).
What's included in the plan:
🔹 General views: front, back, side, top 🔹 Technical views: post layout, exploded view, parts list 🔹 Complete cutting list (sections, lengths, quantities, volumes) 🔹 Complete hardware list with part numbers 🔹 Labeled view of components 🔹 YouTube links to our step-by-step assembly tutorials
🪚 200 × 200 posts: The wide face allows for later siding to enclose one or more sides. Bracing required—2 rows at the supports (80×135, provided in the plan): required due to the 6-meter span. Allow for two people to install the 140×280 beam.
Profile: Passionate DIY builder, standard tools. Some steps require two people.
⚠️ Plan in French — dimensions in millimeters. 🔒 For personal use only — resale prohibited.
Wooden frame only; roofing not included; designed for lightweight roofing such as steel decking (≤ 9.42 daN/m²).
📋 Before Starting the Work
Between posts: 33.00 m²
