Wie man einen Carport baut | SWR Handwerkskunst

These days, carports are as much a part of our homes as the obligatory garage was in the ’60s and ’70s. We’ve since learned that a carport isn’t just better for our favorite vehicle—because it’s more airy—but also looks much more open. At the Borrmann carpentry shop in Undenheim, Rheinhessen, a carport is being built using timber-frame construction. The assembly plans are now created on a computer, and carpenter Sebastian Mitsch cuts the lumber to size using a CNC joinery machine. The large wall sections, roof elements, and connecting structures are fabricated in the workshop, and a waterproofing layer is already being applied to the roof surfaces. Each individual component weighs up to two metric tons and is lifted into position on site using a crane. The carpenters join the individual wooden elements on site, align them, and secure them. The wooden carport stands in its place—a successful example of the combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology.
