Carport Green Roof Kit

Lightweight green roof kits for carports and small structures

Our carport green roof kit is made with various layers that help capture, filter and store water and then slowly release it into drainage. It is made up of lightweight materials, making it suitable for roofs that are low-weight bearing, such as bus shelters, sheds and carports. 

Why choose a green roof for a carport?

Installing a green roof is an effective way to add planting to built structures without using additional ground space. Once installed, the kit instantly introduces greenery while encouraging strong root development. Incorporating plants into your environment can help improve air quality and enhance the appearance of otherwise functional structures. 

Easy‑to‑install and suitable for low‑bearing roofs

Each carport green roof kit features an intuitive installation system, making it suitable for straightforward projects. The lightweight construction means it can be installed on roofs that are not designed to support heavier landscaping systems, while still delivering the visual and environmental benefits of a living roof.

What type of green roof is this?

Our green roof kits are extensive green roofs, designed specifically for structures with limited load‑bearing capacity. They use a shallower substrate and lightweight planting, typically sedum, mosses and grasses, to create a durable but lighter‑weight finish.

Water attenuation and drainage performance

The Carport Green Roof Kit can attenuate up to approximately 25 litres of water per square metre, temporarily retaining rainfall within the system before releasing it slowly over time. This controlled release helps reduce peak runoff during heavy rainfall, easing pressure on drainage systems and supporting more effective surface water management for low load‑bearing structures such as carports and shelters.

A practical green roof solution for compact spaces

If you are looking for a lightweight green roof for a carport or similar structure, an extensive green roof kit offers a practical balance of weight, performance and visual impact. It provides the benefits of planting without the structural demands of heavier green roof systems.

If redelivery is requested, fees must be paid prior to an order being released for redelivery; if the order is returned to Raycox Turf, the £30 charge per pallet will be deducted from any outstanding refund due.
