Product Sheet: GL24h 6 m × 6 m Freestanding Carport (6 posts)
📐 Construction plan for a 4-post freestanding carport — GL24h mixed-structure: 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 (with side mirrors extended) — Front-end width: 5,600 mm; 6.00 m entry length in a single section: no intermediate posts (5,600 mm clearance between corner posts)
✔️ City car, sedan, SUV (such as the Audi Q5: 1,660 mm high)
✔️ Compact van (Kangoo-type: 1,810 mm)
✔️ Trafic-type van (1,971 mm) via the top-side entrance: 2,144 mm clearance under bracing (beam 320)
🅿️ Two cars parked side by side with no pole between them—doors open freely, easy to maneuver: this is a feature unique to glued-laminated timber. The notation “GL24h” in the plan’s title indicates a hybrid structure consisting of solid wood and glued-laminated timber.
🧭 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 species: GL24h glued-laminated load-bearing beams and posts — C24 solid Douglas fir or Class 4 autoclave-treated pine joists, spacers, and battens
Complete professional blueprint in PDF format — 15 pages — all dimensions in mm.
PROJECT DIMENSIONS (plans)
Length: 6.00 m
Width: 6.00 m
Front post height: 2.60 m
Rear post height: 3.10 m
OVERALL DIMENSIONS (including overhangs)
Overall length: 6.50 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 GL24h posts: The wide face allows for future siding installation. Bracing is required—2 rows at the supports (80×135, provided in the plan): the 6-meter span requires this. 120 × 320 GL24h beams in one piece: plan for 2 people and careful lifting —this is the centerpiece of the plan.
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: 36.00 m²
Footprint: 42.25 m²
(including overhangs)
Depending on the size of the property, your PLU zone, and your specific situation, you may need to file a preliminary notice, obtain a building permit, or even hire an architect.
