Freya-Timber-Solar-Carport-Goddess-Image
Freya: the Norse Goddess of fate, love, beauty, gold, war and fertility.

Freya was a member of the Vanir and ruled over the heavenly meadow of Fólkvangr, where half of all those who died in combat would go, whilst the other half were guided by the Valkyries to Valhalla which was ruled over by Odin.

She owned a torc or necklace known as the Brísingamen, as well as a cloak made of falcon feathers. She rode a chariot drawn by two cats and was often accompanied by a boar called Hildisvíni.

She practised Seidr, a form of magic that gifted her with the ability to control and manipulate the desires and prosperity of others. Her association with fate and destiny made her one of the most powerful Norse goddesses.

A Note On Parking Bay Sizes:

When assessing the area needed for staff and customer parking, it should be noted that the current UK norm for parking spaces is 2.4m wide by 4.8 m long. However please note that several models of modern vehicles are more than 4.8m long. The recommended space for manoeuvring (roadways) between bays is 6m.

These dimensions are neither minimum nor written in tablets of stone and may be revised to suit your particular needs, but remember that good access and wider bays aid efficient use of the parking area and are much more pleasant for your customers to use.

Image
For more information on parking in the UK visit: The British Parking Association
Bay Sizes For Motorists With Disabilities: The BSI British Standards Code provides some guidance as to what is required - disabled access parking spaces should be 2400mm x 4800mm with a 1200mm wide marked access zone between spaces and a 1200mm wide safety zone for boot access. Government guidelines (Inclusive Mobility published by DfT) recommend that 6% of parking be allocated to disabled people unless otherwise covered by local planning regulations. The guidance also recommends how to identify these spaces, with special markings and signage.

EV Charger Bay Sizes: It is recommended that additional access zones between parking bays be left for EV charging.  This allows some vehicles to plug and charge from the side. These bays should also be marked and include eye-level signage.

Disabled EV Charger Bays: As the number of electric vehicles in the UK grows as will the requirement for EV charger bays.  There are currently no guidelines on providing disabled parking bays with EV chargers so although not essential we recommend creating EV charger bays with the required 1.2m marked area between the bays and thus automatically making all your EV charger bays suitable for people with disabilities as well as allowing space for vehicles that charge from the side.

KaraSolar use a standard parking bay size of 2.50m wide by 5.00m long

Image
To reduce the potential risks, we recommend clearly displaying canopy height restrictions with signs at eye level located at the car park entrance and on the canopies themselves. Allowances should also be made at the ends of the structures to prevent high-sided vehicles from colliding with the canopy while manoeuvring.  Where possible, implementing a height restriction at the point of entry is an even more effective solution.

KaraSolar Canopies Height Clearance is a Standard 2.50m

A Note On Vehicle Heights:

When planning the placement of solar canopies, it is essential to consider the maximum height of vehicles that may use the car park, not just those parking under the canopy. Thought should be given to high-sided vehicles manoeuvring around the structures.  Our solar carports and canopies are typically designed with a vehicle clearance height of 2.50 metres.  We can increase this height, however, this would increase the overall canopy height and potentially create planning issues and/or lower the roof pitch therefore lowering the solar performance.  An increase in canopy height may also make it necessary to increase the canopy's specifications.

Domestic Vehicles: All our Solar Canopies and Carports comfortably accommodate all vehicles intended for domestic use. One of the tallest in this category, the Land Rover Discovery, stands at 2.00 metres high. The vehicles shown in most of our drawings are the Jaguar F-Pace (1.66 metres high) and/or the Jaguar I-Pace (1.56 metres high).

Commercial Vehicles: If the car park is frequently used by commercial vehicles, a 2.50-metre clearance could potentially cause issues. Common commercial van heights include:

H1 - Standard - up to 2.50m
H2 - High Top - up to 2.90m
H3 - Super High Top - up to 3.20m

For example, the height of a VW Crafter can range from 2.30 metres to 3.20 metres high, depending on the model.  Of course box vans and lorries can be even higher.
