{"product_id":"loj-weeford-carport","title":"The Weeford Carport – LOJ Collection","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Weeford is our single-bay timber carport — a generous covered space for one car, with room left over alongside for bikes, bins or a motorbike. Eight chunky pressure-treated posts carry a gently curved apex roof finished in felt shingle tiles, so it reads as a proper piece of garden architecture rather than a temporary shelter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want the car out of the frost and the leaf-fall without the groundwork, the expense or the planning fuss of a full garage, a timber carport is the sensible middle ground. Being open-sided, there are no doors to heave up on a wet morning, there is plenty of light, and you can walk round the car with an armful of shopping instead of edging past a wall. The timber weathers to a soft silver-honey over the years and looks at home against a house in a way that steel and plastic shelters never quite manage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfortable cover for one car, with space alongside for bikes, bins or a motorbike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure-treated Northern European redwood, from FSC-approved timber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved apex roof carried on eight substantial posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding-grade asphalt felt shingle tiles — choice of black, green, brown or red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal post holders and all fixings included, so there are no concrete footings to dig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer's 10-year anti-rot guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat-packed self-assembly kit (installation available on request through our local team)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure-treated Northern European redwood (pine and spruce), FSC-approved\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePosts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEight posts, approx. 12–13.5cm square\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApex roof with a curved central beam\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoof covering\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilding-grade asphalt felt shingle tiles — black, green, brown or red\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 3.75–3.8m wide x 6.05–6.15m deep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 2.86–2.92m at the ridge, with the lowest eaves around 2.08m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnchoring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZinc-plated metal post holders included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGuarantee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer's 10-year anti-rot guarantee (timber in direct ground contact is excluded)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLead time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6–10 weeks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat-packed self-assembly kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize note\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions are taken from the manufacturer's published specification and are approximate — please confirm exact sizes with us before ordering\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many cars does it really take?\u003c\/strong\u003e You may see carports of this size sold elsewhere as two-car models. At roughly 3.75m wide that is only realistic for two very small cars parked tight together, with no room to open the doors properly. We sell the Weeford as a single: one car, with genuine space to get in and out and to keep bikes or bins dry alongside. If you need two cars side by side, look at the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/loj-whittington-double-carport\"\u003eWhittington Double\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase and planning:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Weeford needs a firm, level surface to stand on — an existing concrete, block-paved or tarmac drive is usually ideal, as the post holders anchor straight down into it. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/choosing-a-base\"\u003eMore on choosing a base\u003c\/a\u003e.
