Requesting a Quote for an Iron Pergola Over a Parking Space
t372-38

To get an accurate quote for an iron pergola carport, send clear photos of the parking space and a few basic dimensions, then book an on-site measurement. The written specification and drawing we prepare after measuring are what the final proposal is based on.
What an Iron Pergola Carport Covers
An iron pergola over a parking space is a steel or aluminum frame that shades and shelters a vehicle while staying open enough to let air through. It is built to measure, so it fits your driveway, the wall it attaches to, and the height you need.
Common choices include a flat or slightly sloped roof, a single or double bay, and a finish suited to coastal Tel Aviv air, such as hot-dip galvanizing followed by powder coating.
Information to Send With Your Inquiry
A good first message saves time. The more we know at the start, the more precise the follow-up conversation will be.
- Photos of the parking space from two or three angles
- Approximate length and width of the space
- Whether the structure attaches to a wall, a house, or stands freestanding
- Your preferred color and roof style, if you have one
- Any access constraints, such as a narrow street or a gate nearby
Rough notes are fine. We confirm every number on site.
On-Site Measurement and Drawing
Once the inquiry is reviewed, we schedule a visit to measure the space. We check ground levels, wall condition, clearances for opening doors, and where drainage runs so the roof slope works with the existing layout.
After measuring, we prepare a drawing and a written specification. This document lists dimensions, profile types, connection details and finishing, so you know exactly what is being built before anything is produced.
Structural and Safety Considerations
A carport must carry its own weight plus wind loads and, where relevant, the weight of snow or equipment placed on the roof. Our engineer checks the anchoring method, foundation requirements and member sizes against the conditions at your site.
For railings and guarding elements that sometimes appear in the same project, the Israeli standard SI 1142 applies. Exact values are checked with the engineer for your specific design rather than taken from general rules of thumb.
Understanding the Proposal and Approval
The written proposal breaks down the scope so you can compare options calmly. It describes the frame, roofing material, finishing, installation work and anything that depends on site conditions.
Review the drawing carefully before approving. Ask about anything unclear, such as how the roof drains or how the structure is anchored. Production starts only after you give written approval of the specification.
From Production to Installation
Once approved, the frame is cut and assembled in our Tel Aviv workshop, then finished by hot-dip galvanizing and powder coating for long-term protection against weather. Components are then transported and installed on site by our team.
Before installation we confirm access and timing with you, so the parking space is only out of use for as long as necessary.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to measure the parking space myself before asking for a quote?
No, rough measurements are enough for the first inquiry. We take exact dimensions during the on-site visit, which is the basis for the drawing.
Can the pergola attach to an existing wall?
Often yes, provided the wall can carry the load and the connection is planned correctly. We assess this during the site visit and note the method in the specification.
What is included in the written specification?
It lists dimensions, profile types, roof material, finishing, connection and anchoring details, and installation scope. It is the document you approve before production begins.
Why does the drawing come before production?
It lets you see exactly what will be built and catch any mismatch with your expectations early, when changes are simple and inexpensive.
Common mistakes to avoid
Sending only one photo from the street and skipping the on-site measurement often leads to surprises about clearance and anchoring. Approving a proposal without reading the specification is another common issue.
Our recommendation
Take photos from several angles, note any obstacles like walls, drains or gates, and mention your preferred roof style upfront. This lets us prepare a more accurate first proposal and a faster site visit.
Summary
Send photos and rough dimensions, book the on-site measurement, and approve the written drawing and specification before production starts.
