David got in touch with the Kappion team whilst searching for a carport to cover the rear of his driveway.
David asked for a Europort carport with a wall of Rhombus shaped (rainscreen) timber infills. The carport wraps around the building to create shelter edge to edge and abuts the garage to help keep the transition between the garage and carport dry. What a great outdoor covered space, perfect for protecting, detailing or working on cars.
Made from steel the Premium Kappion Europort is super strong and the wrap around fascia gives it that contemporary modern look.
Powder coated in RAL 7016 Anthracite grey and glazed in Clear (diffused) structured polycarbonate… this combo is one of our most popular in this situation.
The process
The estimated price was well received, and the next step was for us to conduct a site survey. During the survey, we took our usual detailed 360 point cloud scans and discussed with David how he wanted to use the area and how much coverage he wanted.
Following the survey we sent David a 360 walkthrough video so he could see exactly how the canopy was going to look once it had been installed. Our customers love this part of our process it really helps from a visual and practical use point of view. It also helps identify parts that need to change because of collision.

Order Placed, Engineering Started:
Our design engineers began with the production CAD drawings. David requested for the carport structure to be powder-coated in RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey fine textured finish. Pretty much a standard colour for us these days.
David decided the roof should be glazed in Clear structured polycarbonate as this will give a light and airy feel to the canopy and allow the light into the windows of the adjacent property.
Once the carport had been manufactured, our project manager arranged a suitable date for the carport to be delivered and erected.
I am very pleased with the Canopy, it looks great!! I also want to thank the installers who were all very polite, helpful and obviously carried out a first class install…David from Colchester
