CARPORT GUIDE
Membrane shelters
Choosing a membrane carport
Start with parking movement, column positions and drainage, then compare forms. Membrane shelters can serve cars, two-wheelers and charging areas.
USE & FUNCTION
What this shelter serves
A membrane carport combines supports, a tensioned canopy, foundations and drainage details. Names such as “7-shaped” or “mushroom” describe familiar silhouettes rather than a universal structural standard. Column positions and connections may differ between suppliers; project drawings and calculations govern the final design.

SITE FIT
Where it fits
Distinguish car parking, two-wheeler parking and charging equipment at the outset. Bay widths, door or walking routes, access requirements and maintenance space affect the column grid and canopy edge.
DESIGN CHECKS
What to check in design
Compare steelwork, membrane material, foundations, edges, rainwater discharge and lighting interfaces together. Similar silhouettes can involve very different construction scopes and maintenance access.
COMPARE OPTIONS
How it differs from other uses
If solar modules are planned, assess loading, waterproofing, electrical work and maintenance separately. A membrane form guide is not a photovoltaic system design.
QUESTION & ANSWER
A common planning question
Can a reference photo settle the carport form?
A photo can express a preferred appearance. Site dimensions, parking layout, column constraints and drainage destinations are still needed to compare buildable schemes.
