Modern double carport with storage room (6x8m)

Hello!

We are currently planning our carport. Unfortunately, the standard carports have the problem, in my opinion, that they do not really harmonize visually with most new buildings. Especially the tool sheds somehow look like shacks (which they actually are..)

My plan is:
Buy a double carport 6x8 meters, build the tool shed next spring.

Choice of wood/color
This immediately raised the question about the wood. We want to paint the carport anthracite,
so I asked at a specialist dealer and got two opinions:
1. Use pressure-impregnated wood, let the carport "weather" over the winter and prime and paint it with a good glaze in spring.
2. Do not use pressure-impregnated wood because the salts keep coming through the paint.

So what now? Are there glazes where you don’t significantly see the impregnation?

Tool shed
I have seen various constructions on the internet. I have attached pictures – that’s how we would imagine it.
Structure:
Tool shed basic frame clad with OSB boards, tack roofing felt on the outside. Then screw the slats onto a substructure. Use a side entrance door in anthracite.

Roof
At the moment I am unsure whether to go for steel trapezoidal sheets or a wooden roof with EPDM.
The following points speak for the wooden roof with EPDM:
1. Walkable
2. Noise level. Doesn’t drum when it rains.
3. No condensation water

For steel trapezoidal sheets:
1. Significantly cheaper
2. Faster assembly
3. No painting necessary

Just because of the high effort in assembly (and painting 50 sqm from underneath), I would actually tend towards steel trapezoidal sheets. Is the condensation water really that extreme? Does an anti-condensation fleece really help?

Maybe there are other builders here facing the same problem.

Best regards, Daniel

Take a look at the Capo Massiv at Garagen Riese. It looks "modern" (because of the plastered parts).

We are currently planning the carport as well. Double with shed

6.5 m x 9 m
Searched for a long time and also considered whether metal or wood. In the end, we decided on wood because metal carports never look good up close. We are also not taking one from the catalog but from a family business around the corner. It doesn't cost more and comes with service and advice. As the type of wood, you should use structural solid wood. It doesn't warp after 2 years. We still have the problem that I can't decide whether the water slope should go to the back or to the side. It is supposedly better to the side because especially with long carports, a difference of 20 cm can quickly occur. To the side, it is only max. 10.

If you plan to build the carport yourself, then plan to assemble it from the top down. This means first placing the rafters on metal stands, assembling the roof structure, and only then setting the vertical supports and immediately concreting them. Once the concrete has dried, remove the supports and everything will be perfectly standing.

We had also thought back and forth for a long time, but when the first offers regarding the metal carport came in, we were almost shocked. They ranged between 18,000 and 23,000 euros.

So we got in touch with the local carpenters. The 7*9m large carport will cost us 11,000. It’s that expensive because we will clad the side facing the neighbor with Trespa. The shed will get a cover cladding.

Last week we dug out the 12 foundations, on Friday it will be concreted, and in mid-October the thing will be erected by the carpenter with our help.

For the roof construction, we decided on trapezoidal sheet metal, with the fleece you mentioned. I will report on the condensate then.

That was our template.

Why do you have to paint your wood from below?
EPDM foil is completely tight - so why do you still want to paint the wood?
