Larch wood is chosen for its exceptional combination of durability, natural resistance, and aesthetic appeal. It is a dense softwood that is naturally resistant to rot, moisture, and insect damage, ensuring a long structural lifespan. Furthermore, its attractive grain and warm color provide a visually pleasing, natural look that blends beautifully with outdoor environments, offering a premium alternative to steel or aluminum structures.

The maintenance requirements are very low. If you prefer the natural weathered look, you can leave the wood untreated; it will gracefully age to a silvery-gray patina over time. If you wish to maintain its original golden-brown color, we recommend applying a protective wood oil or stain every 2-3 years. This simple process helps to preserve the wood’s color and enhance its longevity.

Yes. Our carports are engineered to meet specific local building codes and are designed to handle significant environmental loads. The inherent strength of the larch wood frame, combined with its strategic design and the durability of the solar panels (which are tested to withstand hail and heavy snow), ensures a robust and safe structure. We provide specific load ratings (e.g., snow load capacity) for our designs based on your geographic location.
