Pyramidal carports (also called scissor carports) are a type of car and garden carport characterized by their conical or pyramidal shape, elevated in the center. This design is one of the most in-demand types in the Kingdom due to its high efficiency in withstanding strong winds and preventing rainwater accumulation.
Here is a comprehensive guide explaining the specifications, features, types, and installation methods of pyramidal carports:
🌟 Key Features of Pyramidal Carports
* **Wind and Storm Resistance:** Thanks to the streamlined pyramidal shape, air passes smoothly over and around it without creating pressure on the structure.
* **Optimal Shade Distribution:** The pyramidal height provides excellent protection from direct, harsh sunlight with up to 100% insulation.
* **Self-Draining for Rain:** The steep slope on the sides of the pyramid completely prevents the accumulation of rainwater or dust on the carport's surface.
* **Aesthetics and Elegant Appearance:** It provides a luxurious and modern look suitable for villas, palaces, and public and private parking areas.
**Types of Covering Materials Used**
Pyramidal carports are covered with several flexible and strong materials, the most common being:
* **PVC Fabrics (Korean and German):** The most common and durable option; it is fire-resistant, completely waterproof, and can withstand temperatures exceeding 50°C.
* **Polyethylene Fabrics (Advanced):** Characterized by microscopic openings that allow air to pass through, reducing heat buildup, and available in multiple colors with an attractive natural look.
* **PVDF Fabrics:** A material highly resistant to chemicals and dirt, often used in government projects and very large parking areas.
🏗 Specifications of the Steel Structure and Installation
* **Strong Thicknesses:** Steel pipes and support posts with thicknesses of no less than 2 to 3 millimeters are used to ensure rigidity against vibrations.
* **Installation Systems:**
* **Wall Mounting:** The carport is suspended by steel brackets directly attached to the walls, eliminating the need for ground posts and saving space.
* **Column Mounting:** Bases are dug into the ground up to 80 cm deep and filled with moisture-resistant concrete to secure the columns.
* **Rust-Resistant Paints:** The steel is coated with an insulating "primer" base, followed by a fire or oven-baked paint to protect the structure from moisture and corrosion.
**Important Municipal Regulations (Balady Platform)**
If you plan to install a pyramidal carport for cars, you must pay attention to the following regulations:
* **Within Property Lines:** Carports are permitted for installation within the internal setback of a villa's yard in a regulated manner, provided a permit is obtained through the Balady platform.
* **Outside Property Lines:** Installing carports outside the fences of homes on internal residential streets is strictly prohibited to prevent visual distortion and protect pedestrian rights. Municipalities impose fines on non-compliant carports and require their removal.
