Height of both raised crowns
CARPORT GUIDE
Central and double-sided forms
Double-sided raised-crown carport
A double-sided roof with raised crowns creates a repeated rhythm over two parking rows.
FORM & FUNCTION
What this form means
This form adds pronounced high points to both sides of a central support. The name suggests an appearance, not a fixed detail. Decide whether the crowns are symmetrical, how the membrane is panelized and where runoff goes.
02
Central junction and membrane panel joints
03
Low-point drainage and cleaning access
SITE FIT
Where it fits
Wider two-row sites with enough height for a more articulated roofline.
DESIGN CHECKS
What to check in design
Review the central junction between high points, outer low edges, membrane panels and access for maintenance. Avoid drainage channels that are difficult to reach.
COMPARE OPTIONS
How it differs from neighbours
The raised-crown version is defined by roof height variation rather than exposed rods. Any rods should be chosen by the structural scheme.
QUESTION & ANSWER
A common planning question
Must both raised wings be identical?
No, but asymmetry changes coverage, connections and runoff. Design both sides around the actual bays and site boundary.
