Why Choose a Polycarbonate Roof Carport?
The big draw is light. A clear polycarbonate roof lets daylight through, so the area under the carport stays bright and airy. That's great if the carport sits near a window, a path or a side door, as it won't block the light to your home.
Polycarbonate carports are made from strong, light material that stands up to rain, hail and sun. It sheds water well and keeps your car covered all year. If you'd prefer a solid roof with a more classic look, have a look at our felt shingle roof carports instead.

What's in Your Polycarbonate Roof Carport Kit
Your carport comes as a full self assembly kit. You get the posts, the frame, the polycarbonate roof and all the fixings, plus clear installation guides to follow.
The carport is wall-mounted, so it fixes to a solid wall on one side, like a house wall, garage or outbuilding. The posts hold up the open side. Most people build one over a weekend with basic tools and someone to help hold it steady. If you'd rather not do it yourself, a handyperson or builder can put it up for you.

Polycarbonate Roof Carport FAQs
What is a polycarbonate roof carport?
It's a carport with a clear roof made from polycarbonate, a strong plastic sheet. The clear roof lets daylight through, so the space underneath stays bright. It still keeps your car dry and blocks the rain, wind and sun, but it feels more open than a solid roof. Ours are wall-mounted and built on a pressure-treated redwood frame.
Are polycarbonate carports better than garages?
For many homeowners, a wooden carport offers a more cost-effective and practical alternative to a garage. Carports provide reliable shelter for vehicles while allowing easier access, improved airflow, and reduced moisture build-up compared to fully enclosed spaces.
Are polycarbonate carports suitable for UK weather?
Yes, our timber carport kits are specifically designed for UK weather conditions. Built from durable pressure-treated timber, they provide dependable year-round protection from rain, wind, frost, and sun exposure.
What vehicles can a polycarbonate roof carport be used for?
Our wooden carports and carport kits are suitable for a wide range of vehicles, including cars, vans, 4x4s, trailers, and other outdoor storage needs. With multiple sizes available, you can choose the ideal canopy for vehicles to suit your requirements.
Do I need planning permission for a polycarbonate carport?
Not usually. A carport often counts as permitted development, so it may not need planning permission. But it can depend on the size, the spot and how close it is to a boundary. The rules are stricter for listed buildings and conservation areas, and they can change. So it's best to check with your local planning office before you buy, just to be sure.
