The Stretto can be self-assembled. It arrives as a kit with all the fixings and instructions, and it is the simplest carport in the range to put up. If you would rather not do it yourself, our approved network can fit it for you.

Either way you need a solid, level base such as concrete or block paving, plus clear access for the materials. Whether you build it yourself or we fit it, set aside about under a day to a day depending on size and access.

Wipe the powder-coated aluminium down with warm soapy water two or three times a year to keep the slim frame looking crisp. Rinse off the suds and dry with a soft cloth so the finish stays even.

The beam covers only need the same gentle wash. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive pads, which can mark the coating and spoil the clean look that defines this model.

Keep the gutter and any drainage clear of leaves and grit through autumn. Free-flowing drainage is the simplest way to protect the frame and avoid staining down the posts.

The aluminium frame is covered for 5 years against paint faults such as peeling, blistering or premature deterioration in normal use.

In coastal, high-moisture or chemical environments that cover reduces to 2 years due to accelerated wear. The warranty covers normal residential use and excludes misuse, lack of maintenance, storm or snow damage beyond specification, and unauthorised modification.

The Stretto is made to order. Stocked sizes are dispatched in around 7 days, while made-to-order configurations take roughly 14 to 16 days to build.

Once it is ready, we deliver it to you to assemble, or our approved network arranges a fitting date to suit you. Have the base laid and access clear beforehand.
