CAR PORTS & SHEDS

SINGLE CARPORT

The structure represents our latest design for a 14' x 14' covered car port. Whether used as a carport or any other equipment storage space, the structure is designed as a pre-manufactured kit that can be shipped and easily installed onsite. The joinery technique consists of stainless steel straps and screws that facilitate the building process and allow for modern design. The main building elements are four kiawe posts buried four feet in the ground and three roof truss. The design allows for easy modifications, including wall surfaces, division walls and a variety of sizes and spatial layouts.

DOUBLE CARPORT

The carport is a 24′ x 32′ standard farm building plan and made from our own Maui-grown bamboo poles set on nine kiawe posts. The structure uses a stainless steel strap as a fastener and is designed as a pre-fabricated kit that can be shipped and easily installed on site. The joinery technique was inspired by the traditional 'passing joint' and lashing method, but modernized by the use of a stainless steel strap to provide a stronger and longer lasting connection. The design can be modified to serve for a variety of auxiliary kit structures used for farming equipment, outdoor space covers, storage, or any other desired use.

DOUBLE CARPORT

With the legislation allowing commercial farming operations to build up to 1000sq ft of non-residential building, this structure is 24' wide by 30' long and can house 4 compact cars or two flat bed one-ton trucks.

WHISPERING WINDS SHOP EXTENTION

Built to extend the garage of the Whispering Winds Bamboo farm shop, this extension flows perfectly with the previously existing structure and can now house one of our bigger farm vehicles. 

SHED

10' x 20' shed structure. This structure was built for a kapuna on the East Side of Maui in cooperation with Ma Ka Hana Ka 'Ike. To save on cost of materials, we incorporated plastic corrugated roofing.  Perfect for protecting tools from the elements.
