Permits & Compliance in Cape Town
An open-sided carport under 40 m² can qualify as minor building work, but the City still has to authorise it before you build — it is not an automatic exemption. Larger installations, or a carport close to a boundary, need full municipal approval. See when a carport needs municipality approval; KB Carports handles the council submission when one is needed.
Service Areas
We design and install steel carports throughout Cape Town, including:
Durbanville, Bellville, Table View, Milnerton, Somerset West, Strand, Gordon’s Bay, Stellenbosch, Brackenfell, Kraaifontein, and surrounding areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit?
Not always a full plan, but you do need the City’s authorisation: a carport under 40 m² can go through as minor building work. We confirm during your site visit which route applies.
Can I add solar panels to my carport?
Yes. We can design a solar-ready steel carport structure.
What’s the lifespan of a steel carport?
With proper care, galvanized steel carports can last over 20 years.

Steel is the stronger frame and spans further, but it has to be galvanised to survive salt air. On an exposed coastal plot where maintenance access is hard, aluminium carports resist corrosion without a coating and are the lighter build.
A steel frame is only as good as the footings under it. See how carport installation works.
