Hello folks, hope you’re enjoying the run up to Summer and that you’re not reeling to bad from the Mavs defeat afterward.
Let’s talk about making the key distinction between commercial carport styles: single post flat and four post flat. A single post flat consists of a rectangular tube steel column placed in the center of a standard parking place. This allows the vehicle to park with full clearance for the front door. There is a single column or post spaced every 18′ and a sloped flat deck thus named single post flat.
A four post flat by contrast has 2 square columns or posts, one at the front and one at the rear of the vehicle. Typically spaced about 7-10′ apart. Skip a space and repeat the posts and you have a 4 post placement every 2 vehicles.
