{"product_id":"loj-whittington-triple-carport","title":"The Whittington Triple Carport – LOJ Collection","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Whittington Triple sits between our Double and four-car models: three bays side by side under one long, gently arched roof. It is the size that suits a household that has outgrown a double — two cars and a work van, or two cars and a third bay kept for the caravan, the boat, the ride-on mower or a proper covered space to work and sit in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike the rest of the Whittington range it is built on curved laminated beams, which soften the line of the roof and stop a structure of this length looking like a barn. A timber carport earns its place on a larger drive for the same reasons it does on a small one — no doors to heave up, no foundations to dig beyond the drive you already have, room to walk round every vehicle, and frost, sap and leaf-fall kept off the paintwork — but at this width you also gain a genuinely useful covered outdoor room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers three cars side by side, or two cars and a covered working or seating bay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved laminated (glulam) beams under an apex roof — the Whittington signature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure-treated Northern European redwood\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)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePosts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSubstantial square posts, approx. 20cm square\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApex roof carried on curved laminated (glulam) beams\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. 8.4m wide x 5.9m deep, with a clear width of around 7.46m between the posts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 3.4m at the ridge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEntrance height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAround 2.14m at the front and 1.78m at the rear — worth checking if you run a van, a tall 4x4 or a roof box\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\u003eThe Whittington is built in more than one size and dimensions 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\u003eIs the Triple the right step up?\u003c\/strong\u003e Three ordinary family cars fit side by side with room to open the doors.
