Tie-rod-supported membrane carports

Tie-rod-supported carports must be understood in their actual site setting. Show rods and connection positions clearly on drawings and check their relationship with parking and pedestrian activity.

Assess rods in more than a side rendering

Review plans, elevations and vehicle layouts together to spot side members near paths or building equipment. Structural design should determine the actual rod and connection forms.

  • Do people regularly pass near the rods?
  • Are connections close to windows, doors or equipment?
