Extra-Wide, Extra-Long Vehicle Protection: The Lemmer Carport
Engineered specifically for estate cars, large SUVs, commercial vans, and motorhomes, the Lemmer Larch Douglas DIY Flat Roof Carport (4.5 x 6.0 m) delivers 27 square metres of rugged overhead shelter. With a 6-metre depth and an impressive 3.8-metre drive-through width, it eliminates tight manoeuvres, keeping your vehicle fully shielded from frost, heavy rain, bird droppings, and intense UV exposure.
Thanks to its wide-span timber architecture, the Lemmer also serves as a versatile multi-purpose garden structure—ideal for large outdoor dining suites, a sheltered garden lounge, an outdoor workshop, or dry storage for boats and trailers.
Flexible Installation: Freestanding or Lean-To
The Lemmer adapts seamlessly to your driveway or garden configuration:
- Freestanding: Erect using all six 15 x 15 cm posts anywhere across your drive, courtyard, or garden patio.
- Lean-To / Wall-Mounted: Fix one 6-metre side directly to a suitable house or garage wall using wall-plate anchors, using three uprights along the outer open driveway perimeter.
Chunky 15 x 15 cm Douglas Fir Uprights
The Lemmer is built on six solid 150 x 150 mm (15 x 15 cm) square timber posts reinforced with robust diagonal bracing. European Larch / Douglas fir is a naturally dense, resinous softwood renowned for superior structural stability and natural resistance to rot in wet British conditions. The timber is supplied fresh-sawn and fine-sawn (band-sawn), presenting an authentic, tactile grain that can weather naturally to a silvery grey or be treated with a breathable stain or UV oil.
Solid Flat Roof Construction
Unlike lightweight metal or plastic canopies that amplify rain noise and rattle in high winds, the Lemmer features solid timber roof boarding supported by heavy-duty Douglas purlins and edged with smart perimeter fascia boards. This substantial roof deck provides structural stiffness, deadens rainfall noise, and creates an ideal base for long-lasting waterproof coverings.
Modular DIY Timber Kit
The Lemmer is delivered as a Do-It-Yourself (DHZ) timber kit designed for competent DIYers, carpenters, and landscaping contractors. Timber components are supplied slightly over-length to be trimmed to final dimensions on site, allowing you to fine-tune post spacings to existing driveway curbs, slopes, or wall heights. The package includes:
- 6 x 15 x 15 cm fine-sawn Douglas posts
- Heavy structural roof purlins, timber roof boards, and fascia boards
- Diagonal corner storm braces
- Complete metal fixing hardware pack (screws, bolts, and fasteners)
- Clear, detailed assembly plans and layout drawings
Recommended Upgrades & Accessories
- Roof Waterproofing (Required): The carport is supplied without roof covering as standard. We strongly recommend our premium EPDM rubber membrane kit with contact adhesive for a seamless, 50-year UV- and tear-resistant waterproof finish, or self-adhesive Easy-Roofing foil.
- Roof Drainage: Add a round EPDM roof drainage outlet and downpipe kit to direct rainwater away from your vehicle and foundation.
- Concrete Foundation Anchors: Mount the six posts on adjustable concrete post anchors (betonpoeren) bedded in fast-setting post-mix cement to protect timber ends from standing ground water.
- Timber Treatment: Apply a high-quality microporous clear or tinted exterior wood preservative / UV stain to preserve the natural warm tones and prevent silvering.
- Enclosure Walls: Enclose one, two, or three sides using matching tongue-and-groove boards or Swedish feather-edge cladding to create an enclosed garage bay or private garden lodge.
