Carport kit FAQs
Can a carport kit have an insulated roof?
Yes. NQ Patios carport kits use the same Nordeck® insulated panel as the patio kits: COLORBOND® steel top, EPS-FR foam core and a steel ceiling. Norfoam describes it as a comfortable area to work on, clean and enjoy the car, boat or van at any time of day.
How wide can a free-standing carport span?
In a sheltered Townsville street (C1), Norfoam’s table allows a free-standing span of 4.9 m at 50 mm, 6.9 m at 100 mm and 8.8 m at 150 mm. That assumes posts on both sides and nothing blocking underneath. Exposed and beachfront sites span less.
Can I attach a carport to the house?
Yes. An attached carport is sized like an attached patio: the number of open sides sets the span case, and the calculator handles both.
Will a carport kit fit a caravan or boat?
Norfoam lists car, boat and caravan covers as one of its six patio styles. Give the calculator the width and depth you need to clear the van or boat and add the height you need in the notes.
Do carport kits come in colours?
Yes, nine roof colours from Dover White™ to Woodland Grey®, with a plain or VJ ceiling in Dover White™, Surfmist® or Maple.
