Square-tube size and forming method
CARPORT GUIDE
One-sided forms and rods
Square-tube membrane carport
A curved square-tube beam and offset column cover a single row, with bending and membrane joints to resolve.
FORM & FUNCTION
What this form means
The square-tube form is also a one-sided cantilever, expressed with square hollow sections. Its flat faces and corners change beam, cross-member and membrane-clamp connections compared with round tube. A similar outline does not mean an identical fabrication list.

Corner joints and membrane clamps

Bases, doors and drainage edges
SITE FIT
Where it fits
Single-row sites with foundations along one edge and a frame language that fits neighbouring square-section elements.
DESIGN CHECKS
What to check in design
Review how the square tube is bent or segmented, its wall thickness, welds, corrosion protection and membrane edge clamps. Keep bases clear of door swings.
COMPARE OPTIONS
How it differs from neighbours
Round and square tubes differ in section and joint details, not just finish. The beam and rear projection also differ from the T-shaped form.
QUESTION & ANSWER
A common planning question
Does a square-tube frame require a straight roof?
No. This reference form uses a curved main beam. Fabrication capacity, splice positions and membrane curvature must be set by the manufacturer and design drawings.
