Carports
Carport 3D configurator: buyers plan a carport for one car or two
Buyers choose a carport to fit their own drive: how many cars, how high, against the house or standing free. A catalogue photo can't tell them whether an SUV will fit or whether the doors will still open. In the configurator they change size and roof, add a storage room and see the price before they ever write to you.
Short answer
What is a carport 3D configurator?
A carport 3D configurator is a tool on a maker's website where buyers choose the number of bays, width, length, height, roof shape and covering, material and extras, and the model and price change with each choice. Trimata builds it around your carport system, so every inquiry arrives with exact dimensions.

What buyers ask before ordering a carport
- Will an SUV with a roof box fit underneath?
- How wide does it need to be for two cars with the doors open?
- Can it be fixed to the house wall?
- Will snow build up on a flat roof?
- Can we add a bike store at the back?
- Where does the rainwater go, and are gutters included?
What buyers can choose in the configurator
The structure changes with the size, so buyers see the carport you would actually build.
| Choice | Options | Why show it in 3D |
|---|---|---|
| Bays | Single, double or triple; freestanding or wall-mounted | With cars in the model, the space between them is clear at once. |
| Size | Width, length and clearance height, for example 3 x 5 m for one car and 6 x 6 m for two | Buyers compare the clearance with their own car instead of phoning to ask. |
| Roof shape | Flat, mono-pitch, pitched, curved | The roof has to suit the house, and that is easiest to judge visually. |
| Roof covering | Polycarbonate, profiled metal sheet, bitumen shingles, green roof | Clear sheeting and metal throw very different shade, and the model shows it. |
| Structure | Glulam timber, steel or aluminium sections; colour | Post size and material show strength better than a description does. |
| Sides and storage | Side wall, slatted screen, closed storage room at the back | Buyers see how the carport with a store shields the drive from wind and neighbours. |
| Lighting and drainage | LED lights, motion sensor, gutters and downpipes | Small extras are shown in place, so they don't get forgotten. |
Add-ons that raise the order value
What usually grows a carport order is a storage room at the back, a side wall against the wind, gutters, lighting and preparation for an electric car charger. Buyers rarely ask about these on the phone, because they think about the roof and the price first.
When the storage room appears at the end of the carport, the buyer sees that bikes, tyres and garden furniture now have a home and the whole thing looks like one building. That picture often leads them to order the larger carport straight away.
The configurator can also apply what only you know, for example that a longer span needs an extra post or a deeper beam. The buyer sees the right structure and the right price.
Which 3D format suits carports
| Format | Fit | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| 3D configurator | Strong fit | When size, roof, covering and extras can be combined and each choice changes the price. |
| 3D view with AR | Strong fit | Buyers place the carport on the drive next to their car and check height and width. |
| Renders and video | Good fit | For the catalogue and ads when the same carport needs showing in different colours and coverings. |
| B2B quote builder | Good fit | When residents' associations, offices or builders buy carports and need a multi-bay quote. |
