Advantages of choosing our carport
Choosing our carport means more than just getting a shelter for your car; it's about investing in a durable, maintenance-free structure that enhances your outdoor space. Our carports are engineered with rust-resistant anodised or powder-coated aluminium to resist corrosion and feature UV-resistant polycarbonate roofing that withstands the test of time.

Opt for an aluminium carport to combine durability with aesthetic appeal. Our aluminium carports differentiate themselves from traditional wooden or steel alternatives through their sleek design, perfectly complementing modern and contemporary architectural styles while providing robustness. Constructed from high-quality materials, these carports ensure exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. Integrating a powder coating further boosts their durability, making them resistant to adverse weather and corrosion, enhancing your carport's longevity and visual appeal.

A carport roof designed to withstand the elements
Our carports feature a pitched roof design that extends well beyond aesthetic design, rather than a practical development engineered to deal with the effective management of run-off rainwater. In this thoughtful design, one keeps their vehicle and the structure of the carport safe from the hassles of damage by water. The roof is designed with durability and protection in mind; it has to consist of tough and long-lasting materials like UV-resistant polycarbonate panels.
Optional rain guttering kit
We offer an optional rain guttering kit to enhance the carport's water management capabilities further. This supplementary feature is tailored to work seamlessly with the pitched roof, offering an additional safeguard by efficiently directing rainwater away, thus preserving the integrity of your investment.

A statement in versatility, our standalone carports are perfect for any driveway or outdoor space. The carports are free-standing and do not necessarily have to connect to other structures, a feature that allows flexibility in their placement. You can obtain comprehensive carport kits, making the installation of your new carport both easy and quick. Soon, you'll have a reliable shelter for your vehicle.

Sleek modern carport design
The distinguished finish of our modern-styled carports brings out their elegance: the anodized aluminium finish has a subtle metallic sheen, while the anthracite finish has a mature deep charcoal hue. The deep charcoal hue of today's modern property style is exemplified by the anodized aluminium finish, while the anthracite finish offers a subtle metallic sheen for timeless elegance. Our carports present modern lines and attention to the minutest detail, which couples aesthetics with functionality. Whether it is in the sleek anthracite or modest aluminium finish, a design that complements your home's architecture is easily found.
Our carport size
Our carports are measured at 2.85 m by 5.05 m to fit most standard vehicles perfectly. It will give a comfortable house to your car, protecting it from the elements. The peak height of the structure is 2.48 m, with a generous drive-through height of 2.16 m and a width of 2.68 m, suiting saloon cars, motorbikes, compact SUVs, or similar models. Note that these carports are designed for one car but you could combine two for extra room.
A standard-size carport will not work for larger vehicles, such as RVs or lorries. We offer solutions in the portable garages category, where you can find various products that fit larger vehicles. With added lengths and increased height, our portable garages have the extra space needed to protect your valuable assets.

Setting up a foundation for your carport
A solid foundation is essential to ensure the stability and longevity of your carport. The foundation serves as the base upon which your carport will stand, absorbing and distributing the weight evenly to prevent structural issues. Here are key points to consider when planning the foundation for your carport:
- 1
Site Selection
Choose a level area for your carport installation. The site should be free of any underground utilities, and it's advisable to check for any local building regulations that may apply.
- 2
Material choice
The foundation can be made from various materials, including concrete, compacted gravel, or paving stones. Concrete is the most durable and provides a stable base for anchoring the carport structure.
- 3
Dimensions
Ensure the foundation extends slightly beyond the carport's footprint, with dimensions of at least 2.85 × 5.05 meters. This extra space helps manage water runoff and secures the carport's anchoring system.
- 4
Depth and thickness
The foundation's depth and thickness should be appropriate for the soil type and local climate. It should extend below the frost line to prevent heaving in areas with frost. A typical concrete slab foundation might be 10-15 cm thick for a structure like a carport.
- 5
Anchoring
Secure anchoring is crucial for wind resistance and overall stability. Anchor points should be integrated into the foundation, especially in regions prone to high winds.
- 6
Drainage
Proper drainage around the foundation is essential to prevent water accumulation that could undermine the foundation. Consider sloping the area around the foundation slightly away from the carport to facilitate water runoff.
- 7
Professional assessment
It's often beneficial to consult a professional to assess the best foundation type for your location, considering soil conditions, topography, and local building codes.
