Carport
Secure Your Carport with Postech Screw Piles: The Ultimate Solution
Although fairly lightweight structures, carports still need proper support. While they may not need a full foundation like a house does, they do need proper support for the roof poles. Some try to accomplish this with simple concrete pads at ground level, but this is dangerous. These pads can move with the heaving associated with ground freezes, causing structural damage to the carport.
Introduction
Carports are an excellent addition to any home, offering shelter and protection for your vehicles. While these structures are relatively lightweight, they require proper support to ensure stability and longevity. Many people might opt for simple concrete pads or traditional foundations, but these methods come with significant drawbacks. This article will explore why Postech Screw Piles are the optimal solution for carport support, offering a durable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly alternative.
The Limitations of Traditional Carport Foundations
The Problem with Concrete Pads
Concrete pads at ground level might seem like an easy solution for supporting carports, but they come with inherent risks. These pads can move with ground freezes, causing the carport to shift or even collapse. The heaving and settling of the ground can lead to structural damage that compromises the integrity of the entire structure.
Why Ground Freezes are Dangerous
When the ground freezes, it expands and causes any structures resting on it to move. This movement can lead to:
- Cracks in the foundation
- Misalignment of the carport poles
- Potential collapse of the structure
Using concrete pads without proper support below the frost line is a gamble that could lead to costly repairs and damage.
Concrete Piers: A Costly Alternative
Concrete piers offer more stability than pads but come with their own set of challenges. Installing concrete piers involves:
- Expensive excavation
- Form setting and backfilling
- Considerable cure time for the concrete
These factors not only increase the cost of building a carport but also extend the project timeline. Additionally, the process can disrupt your landscaping, requiring further time and money for repairs and regrowth of affected plants.
