The carport calculator will help you estimate the materials needed for building your carport.
How to Use This Carport Calculator
1. Enter the dimensions of your carport into the provided fields. Make sure to include the Width, Length, and Height in meters.
2. Enter the Roof Pitch in degrees. This is the angle of the roof slope.
3. Enter the estimated Cost per Square Meter for construction in your local currency.
4. Click the “Calculate” button to see the results.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator utilizes the provided dimensions to calculate the total surface area of the carport’s roof and walls. It assumes a standard gable roof design:
- Roof Height: Calculated using trigonometry based on the roof pitch and half the width of the carport.
- Roof Area: Calculated as the length of the carport multiplied by the calculated length of one side of the roof.
- Walls Area: The sum of the areas of the four walls of the carport.
- Total Cost: The total surface area multiplied by the cost per square meter.
Limitations
This calculator assumes a simple rectangular floor plan with a standard gable roof. It does not account for complex roofing, additional design elements, or variances in material costs. Always consult with a professional for a more accurate estimate for your specific project.
