Protect Your Vehicles & Outdoor Living Spaces in Knysna
Knysna's coastal salt air, sap from indigenous forest trees, and intense UV rays cause rapid paint oxidation and damage to vehicles parked outdoors.
The Restorers builds custom-designed carports and traditional South African afdakke. Whether you need a single or double carport, an RV/boat shelter, or an extension over your outdoor entertainment braai patio, our structures combine robust engineering with attractive timber and steel aesthetics.
Built for High Coastal Wind Loads in Knysna Suburbs
Structures in The Heads, Pezula, Simola, and Leisure Isle are exposed to strong frontal winds coming off the Indian Ocean. We use deep-anchored concrete foundations, heavy-gauge CCA-treated poles or galvanized steel columns, and marine-treated IBR, corrugated, or polycarbonate roof sheeting to ensure long-lasting structural safety.
Treated Timber & Metal Framing: We build carports using H3/H4 treated pine poles or lightweight, structural metal frames designed for strength.
Anti-Corrosive Coastal Roofs: We fit high-quality polycarbonate panels or rust-resistant Aluzinc roof sheeting to protect vehicles and patios.
Secure Wind-Resistant Anchors: We sink posts deep in concrete foundations and use heavy-duty galvanized structural connectors.
Our Construction Process
We focus on structural alignments, safe slopes for rain runoff, and securing rafters against wind lift.
Layout & Foundation Excavation
We mark support post coordinates, excavate foundation holes, and coat timber pole bottoms with bitumastic sealer.
Post Casting & Beam Framing
We erect structural posts, cast concrete bases, mount main support beams, and install rafters with joist hangers.
Roof Sheeting Installation
We screw on Aluzinc or polycarbonate sheets using roofing fasteners with EPDM washer seals to ensure leak-free covers.
Flashings & Rainwater Setup
We install wall flashing seals, set barge boards, mount gutters, run downpipes, and apply timber treatments.
