Our client was thrilled with their completed Garaport Extension in Pale Eucalypt. They added this on as an extension to their existing shed, finding that they needed extra space to store cars away from the elements.
The Garaport also doubles as an entertaining space, where they can be top hosts providing a cool spot to enjoy a BBQ on a warm summers nights.
Adding a Garaport couldn’t be any simpler. If you bring in a few photos of your existing shed, we can get a better idea of what you are after and design a Garaport that compliments your existing colour scheme and adds value to your property. A Garaport can be custamized to specific dimensions and be as wide or long as you need.
The Breakdown of this Garaport Extension Is-
- 7m x 7m x 3.1 to the eave
- Roof Pitch is 22 Degrees
- Roof sheeting is Corrugated in Pale Eucalypt
Do I need a permit to build an awning?
When building an awning in NSW, understanding the benefits and council requirements is crucial to avoid any potential legal action or penalties that may be occurred if incorrectly built. Whilst smaller builds may typically fall within the exemption framework, larger structures or those used for a specific purpose may require council permission. We have the expertise and knowledge required and as such can provide the necessary support and guidance through out the shed or awning design and building process.
Where can I build an awning on my property?
Placing your Awning correctly on your land, will maximise the investment made and ensure that it’s in the correct place – avoiding any drainage or sewer lines. We are members of Shed Safe, with software checking that your Shed, Garage or Awning has gone through the relevant checks to ensure that it meets the wind specification to your local area, ensuring that it will withstand the most testing conditions.
Can you build an Awning on an existing slab?
Yes, it is possible to build an Awning on an existing slab. What we would conduct in the first instance is a site visit to check the size and condition of the slab and inspect for any visible cracks or damage that may prevent the build process going smoothly. Next, we would need to determine the compatibility of the Shed or Awning design to ensure that it suited your existing slab, and that all necessary posts and bracing could be used to build your new Shed or Awning on the existing slab. This ensures that we are building a structure that has been wind checked to your rated area and will withstand a weather event in the future. By considering these factors, you can determine whether building an Awning on an existing slab is feasible and proceed with the building process. It’s always advisable to consult with your Local Council for guidance and ensure that your Awning is built safely and in compliance with all necessary codes.
