XL Option: offset posts

What is the XL option?

The XL option consists of moving the structural posts from their original position under the corner ends. This changes the look of the carport as the posts are offset either from the side or from the front and/or back.

Adapting in style

The XL option is the perfect solution to adapt the size of your carport and adjust the position of the posts to suit your existing environment. The posts set back from the corners give the impression of an overhanging roof and provide a larger protective surface.

The XL option is particularly interesting as it makes it easier to manoeuvre your vehicle in and out without the risk of hitting the posts and damaging your car's doors. Basically, it gives you more room to manoeuvre.

Also, choosing offset posts for your carport will give it a unique and elegant look that is different from other carports available on the market.

The XL option is available on flat roof aluminium carports, for both the lean-to and stand-alone versions. Would you like a carport with the XL option?
