About KB Carports — Timber Carport Specialists
We’re a local team focused on quality timber carports for residential, commercial, and estate applications. Using structurally graded, treated timber (H3/H4 where appropriate) with galvanised or stainless steel fixings, we build carports that look refined and perform in Cape Town’s coastal climate. Every project is custom-designed to suit your property layout, vehicle sizes, and preferred finish.
Why Choose Our Wooden Carports?
- Built to Last — Treated timber, corrosion-resistant hardware, and weather-ready roofing for coastal durability.
- Modern or Classic Aesthetics — Clean, contemporary lines or traditional profiles to match your home.
- Custom Sizes — Single, double, or multi-bay layouts for cars, SUVs, boats, or caravans.
- Council Compliance — Designs aligned to SANS norms and City of Cape Town requirements; guidance on approvals when needed.
- Cost-Effective — A beautiful alternative to brick garages with fast installation and excellent value.
- Sustainable Options — Responsibly sourced timber and low-VOC finishes available.
Maintenance note: Timber is a living material. With periodic sealing/varnishing and annual checks, a quality wooden carport will look great and perform for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do wooden carports last near the coast? Yes—treated timber plus corrosion-resistant fixings and periodic sealing deliver long service life.
Can you match the finish to my home? Absolutely. Choose clear seal, stains, or colour-matched paints.
How long does installation take? Typically 2–3 days after approval and manufacture.
Can I enclose the sides later? Yes. We can design for future side cladding or screening.
Wood vs steel — which is better? Wood offers warm, architectural appeal and custom finishes; steel excels in ultra-low maintenance. We also install Steel Carports in Cape Town if that’s a better fit.
