The 16x24 Carport Timber Frame is more than just a place to park—it’s a bold architectural statement. Featuring a rhythmic rafter and purlin roof system, a dramatic 12:12 pitch, and elegantly curved knee braces and truss struts, this frame combines practicality with striking design.
Whether you leave it open or customize it for an enclosed space, this structure is built to impress.

- Roof Pitch: Steep 12:12 for commanding presence and excellent snow and rain handling
