Your driveway is one of the most used areas of your property, yet it often sits completely exposed. A well-designed carport can change that.
It provides a dedicated covered space for your vehicles while making the entrance to your home feel more considered and complete.
Protection from harsh sunlight. Cover when it rains. Less exposure to the elements for the vehicles you rely on every day.
Cover for the vehicles you depend on.
South African weather can be hard on vehicles. Strong sunlight, heat, rain, and changing weather conditions all take their toll over time. A carport provides a practical layer of protection while giving you a more comfortable space to get in and out of your vehicle.
Everyday Vehicles
Protect your daily driver from sun damage and weather exposure.
Multiple Vehicles
Cover for households with more than one vehicle.
Driveways
Add practical cover to an exposed driveway.
Residential Parking Areas
Create a dedicated covered parking space.
Guest Parking
Provide covered parking for visitors.
Larger Vehicle Areas
For properties that require more extensive vehicle protection.
We'll look at your available space and help determine a solution that makes sense for your property.
The right solution for your space.
Every driveway is different. You may need a compact carport for one vehicle, a larger structure for multiple cars, or a covered area that makes better use of a wider driveway.
Single Vehicle Carports
Practical protection without taking over your property.
Double Carports
Create comfortable covered parking for two vehicles.
Larger Covered Areas
For properties that require more extensive vehicle protection.
Custom Solutions
Designed around the layout, access, and requirements of your property.
Rather than forcing a standard solution onto your property, we consider the space available and what you actually need from it.
Carport Prices in Durban
Our carport prices depend on the size, material and installation requirements. Here are the starting prices for our different options.
Galvanised Steel Carports with IBR Roofing
A galvanised steel frame with IBR roof sheeting provides a solid cover that protects vehicles from sun and rain. The galvanised coating helps protect the frame against rust.
| Size | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Single, 3m x 6m | From R6,000 |
| Double, 6m x 6m | From R12,000 |
| Double tandem, 3m x 12m | From R12,500 |
| Triple, 9m x 6m | From R18,500 |
| Four-bay, 12m x 6m | From R26,500 |
Aluminium Carports
Aluminium frames are lightweight and resistant to corrosion, making them an option for properties exposed to coastal air.
| Size | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Single, 3m x 6m | From R11,500 |
| Double, 6m x 6m | From R21,500 |
| Triple, 9m x 6m | Quoted individually |
Shade Net Carports
Shade net provides protection from direct sunlight while allowing air to circulate. It does not provide a waterproof roof.
| Size | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Single, 3m x 6m | From R4,000 |
| Double, 6m x 6m | From R7,500 |
| Triple, 9m x 6m | Quoted individually |
Timber Carports
Timber carports offer a natural finish that can complement the style of your property.
| Size | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Single, 3m x 6m | From R13,500 |
| Double, 6m x 6m | From R25,500 |
The right materials for Durban and KZN conditions.
The right frame and roof depend on your budget, the level of weather protection you need and the conditions around your property.
Common choices
Frames, covers and roof sheeting.
Galvanised steel frames
Strong and suited to solid-roof carports. A protective zinc coating helps resist rust, making galvanised steel a practical option for the KZN climate.
IBR roof sheeting
Ribbed steel roof sheeting designed to channel rainwater off the roof. A durable, practical option for protecting vehicles from sun and rain.
Chromadek roof sheeting
Colour-coated steel sheeting that provides a finished roof surface. Available colour options can help the carport complement your property.
Aluminium structures
Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, aluminium is worth considering for properties exposed to coastal air.
Shade net covers
Breathable and cost-effective, shade net reduces direct sunlight while allowing air to circulate. Unlike solid roof sheeting, it does not keep rain out.
Timber-framed carports
A natural finish that suits homes looking for an alternative to a conventional metal structure.

Shade built around how you use the space.
Not every shadeport uses the same fabric or panel. We work with a range depending on how much sun and rain protection you need, including HDPE shade netting, PVC and polyethylene tensile fabrics, polycarbonate roof panels, and metal-roofed shadeports in steel or aluminium.
Sizes & Layouts
Most carports fall into two standard footprints: single bay (roughly 3m x 6m) and double bay (roughly 6m x 6m), though we build custom sizes to match your space. Structures can either stand alone or attach directly to your home, garage, or existing building.
We handle
- Driveway carports for homes
- Larger commercial parking canopies
- Combined carport and patio shelter covers
- Enclosed options with side screening or gates for extra security
