Oak frame carport kit built by hand, solar-ready from day one

An oak frame carport kit is a structural timber frame shipped flat-pack and assembled on your prepared base. Unlike off-the-shelf steel or aluminium, a bespoke oak carport gives you control over span, depth, roof pitch and attachment points – all locked in before timber is cut. We hand-cut every frame from solid green oak, a timber that seasons naturally on-site, deepening in colour and stability over time. This is not a standard catalogue product. Your carport is specified to your plot, your vehicles, and your long-term energy plans.

Most carport buyers assume ‘solar-ready’ means a flat roof and a spare wire run. We design differently. Every oak frame carport from us is engineered from the outset to carry integrated solar roof tiles, a battery store and EV charging infrastructure. The frame geometry, rafter sizing, and electrical routing are resolved before your timber order is placed. You are not retrofitting solar to a carport; you are specifying a carport that solar, storage and charging are built into.

The live 3D configurator is where this happens. You walk through your plot dimensions, vehicle count, solar orientation, and battery capacity in a single interactive tool. You see the real frame geometry, roof pitch, and integrated tile layout. You get a price. You get a bill of materials. You do not get a quote-me spreadsheet or a sales call promising ‘estimates in 5–7 days.’ The configurator is live, now, and it speaks your language: the language of your actual site and your actual needs.

Green oak is a craft material. Each timber is selected, measured and hand-cut to fit your frame. Green oak contains moisture; it seasons after assembly, tightening joinery and settling into a finished aesthetic that steel and aluminium cannot match. It is also a carbon-neutral structure, absorbing CO₂ during growth and storing it for the life of the frame. If your carport is part of a renovation or a self-build where material choice carries intent, green oak says so without argument.

Assembly is straightforward on a level, prepared base. The kit ships with every timber pre-cut, joinery marked, and hardware specified. Bolted connections mean no on-site carpentry; the frame goes together in days, not weeks. We provide the full bill of materials and assembly documentation. Your builder, or you and a team, can assemble it. Once standing, the frame is ready for roof tiles – whether solar integrated, slate, or timber shingles – and for any electrical final-fix work.

Solar integration is the differentiator. Conventional carports are passive. Your oak carport becomes an energy asset from day one: it generates electricity, it stores it, and it charges your vehicle. The roof tiles are sealed, weatherproof and rated for UK exposure. Battery storage sits in a dedicated enclosure within or adjacent to the frame. EV charging is wired in. You are not bolting solar panels onto an afterthought; you are owning a structure designed as a solar generator first, a shelter second.

Specifications are infinite. Single-car, two-car, three-car, open-sided, partially enclosed, attached to an existing building, freestanding, with a garden room underside, with a workshop or storage loft above. The configurator holds all geometry rules. Pitch your solar roof toward the sun; add a gutter and downpipe; choose your overhang; lock in your eaves height. Every choice updates the frame, the cost and the delivery estimate in real time. You own the spec before commitment.

Delivery is nationwide across the UK. A flat-pack timber frame travels efficiently; assembly happens on your site. We do not deliver and assemble; we deliver, you (or your builder) assemble. That keeps costs transparent and timelines local to your plot. Your builder knows your ground, your baseplate, your electrical routing. They work with our bill of materials and assembly guide. The frame arrives as kiln-dried, planed timber ready to install.

Start with the configurator. No deposit, no sales call, no hidden options. Specify your carport, see the price, download the materials list, and then talk to us about next steps. If solar, battery and EV charging are part of your property’s future, this is where that conversation begins. Oak frame, hand-cut, solar-native, yours.
