Custom Carport Sizes, Single and Double
Standard carport dimensions in South Africa typically include single (3m x 6m) and double (6m x 6m) sizes. Carports are independent structures that provide covered parking, but they can also be attached to existing buildings for convenience. Common uses for carports in South Africa include:
Carports as patio covers to provide shade and shelter
Fully enclosed carports for more complete protection
The standard height for carports is usually 2.2 meters for cars, or 2.4-2.6 meters for larger vehicles like minibuses and caravans, Carports can be built in any custom shape and size, with common options being:
A-frame/pitched roof carports
Dome shaped carports
Flat roof carports
Carports for caravans (3.4 x 6m)
Standard Carport
Cantilever Carport
T-Shape Carport
Boxed Carport
Un-Boxed Carport
Barrel Vault Carport
Our Carports are typically constructed using
Galvanized steel IBR roof sheeting (0.5 mm thickness)
Steel lip channel for the outer and inner frames
Square steel tubing columns concreted into the ground
Gutters and downpipes
All steel is primed and painted for protection against rust and fatigue. Carports can be customized with different roofing materials like colored sheeting or transparent sheeting. Carports can be installed over existing structures, though there is often an additional labor fee for this. They can also be attached to your home using basic pole-building construction. Lean-to designs attach the carport against the house’s side. According to South African building regulations, carports up to 40 square meters are considered “minor building work” and do not require full building plans, only approval.
The materials and designs you choose for your carport roof will depend on your location and budget. Popular options in Cape Town include:
Metal carports made of steel or aluminum. These are durable but can be more expensive. Aluminum is lightweight but dents more easily than steel. Steel is stronger but prone to rust if not properly treated.
Fabric or shade cloth carports. These are affordable and provide good sun protection, but are less durable than metal options. The fabric may need replacing over time.
Wooden carports. These can match the look of your home but require more maintenance to keep looking good and prevent rotting.
Pitched roof designs made of corrugated metal sheeting like IBR are common. They allow rainwater runoff but can be prone to leaking if not installed correctly. The pitch helps determine how much the roof can handle in terms of weather conditions like wind, rain, and snow loads.
Consider your specific needs in terms of budget, weather conditions, desired lifespan, and aesthetics. Get professional advice on structural requirements. Regular inspection and maintenance will maximize the lifespan of your carport. With the right materials and proper installation, a carport can provide many years of reliable protection.
Do I need building plans for a carport in Cape Town?
No — a carport up to 40m² is classified as minor building work under South African building regulations, so formal building plans are not required, though checking with your local municipality first is still recommended.

What payment options do you accept?
We accept EFT, bank transfer, and other secure payment methods. Payment terms are outlined in your quote, with a deposit required before materials are ordered and the balance payable on completion.
What materials do you use for carports?
We use high-grade hot-dip galvanized steel for the framework, ensuring rust resistance in Cape Town’s coastal conditions. Roofing options include IBR steel sheeting, Chromadek roofing in a variety of colours, and polycarbonate panels for filtered light. All materials are selected for strength, durability, and long-term weather performance.
