Carports

Carport anchoring is a popular application for our anchors. We have developed a special calculator that will guide you as to the type and number of anchors required for each post of the carport. More information on installing carports can be found in Application Note AN71.

The information below is a general guide to selecting anchors. For protected areas with winds below 50 mph, use 4 SP12 for each post

For windy areas, use 4 SP18 for each post
For lean-to carports that use the house as support on one side, use 4 SP10 on each post

We recommend that you consult the calculator to find the lowest cost solution that meets the wind resistance requirements in your area. For more elaborate carports, contact us for a free consultation.
