Custom Carport Build in Toronto | Build4 Outdoors
Enhancing Outdoor Space in Bloor West Village
When it comes to outdoor construction, striking a balance between functionality and aesthetics is key. This recent project in Toronto’s Bloor West Village showcases how we created a custom carport that provides protection from the elements while maintaining the homeowner’s desire for natural light and a sleek, unobtrusive design.
Project Overview: A Custom Carport in Bloor West Village
The client wanted a simple, effective solution to shield their car from Toronto’s unpredictable weather. The space in front of their small garage was the ideal spot for a carport, but they didn’t want to lose the natural light or create a structure that felt bulky. We stepped in to design and construct a carport that met these needs while complementing the existing property.
Key Features of the Project:
Design Goal: Build a carport with a sloped roof to prevent water buildup and ensure proper drainage.
Materials Used: Clear polycarbonate sheets for the roof, allowing natural light to pass through.
Location: In front of an existing small garage, repurposed as storage.
Style: A minimalist carport design to keep the space open and visually appealing.
Challenges and Creative Problem Solving
Every project comes with its unique challenges, and this carport build was no different. Here’s how we approached it:
1. Maintaining the Desired Height:
The client wanted a sloped roof for drainage while ensuring the structure wasn’t too low or obstructive. To address this, we installed the support posts and provided the client with a visual preview of the slope before making any permanent adjustments. This step ensured the final structure met both functional and aesthetic requirements.
2. Preserving Natural Light:
The use of clear polycarbonate sheets was crucial for maintaining natural light in the space. This material is lightweight, durable, and ideal for carport roofs, offering protection from the elements without creating a dark, enclosed feel.
3. Integrating with the Existing Garage:
The carport was designed to connect with the existing garage, creating a cohesive look that complements the property without overwhelming it.
The Result: A Carport That Blends Form and Function
The final product was a custom-built carport that offered the client exactly what they needed:
Weather Protection: The roof shields the vehicle from rain, snow, and sun, making it a practical addition to the property.
Natural Light: The clear polycarbonate roof ensures the area remains bright and inviting, even on cloudy days.
Sleek Design: The minimalist structure avoids adding bulk to the outdoor space while enhancing its overall functionality.
Testimonial
Good people to work with, straightforward, fair in negotiations, overall no BS and - not a small detail - good communication throughout. Our car port project was done in a few days and everything was completed as agreed to. I would hire Build4Outdoors (i.e. Marvin and his team) again if/when the opportunity arises.
