Price guide
What changes the price of a carport
Six things decide what you pay. The calculator above includes all of them.
- Size — the biggest factor - a double (36 m²) costs about R10 500 more than a single (18 m²)
- Design — Open is the lowest; a Pitched roof costs about a third more on the same size
- Roof sheeting — Galvanised IBR is about R3 500 less than Chromadek on a double; clear polycarbonate about R2 800 more
- Height — 2.4 m is standard; 3 m adds about R1 100 on a double
- Walls — fixed to your house or a boundary wall on one side, it needs fewer posts - about R1 100 less
- Distance — travel is charged per day on site, about R750 a day for every 16 km from us; a double takes 2 days
Figures for a 6 m x 6 m Boxed double carport with Chromadek IBR, excl. VAT. Gutter and downpipe are included; leave them off and it is about R850 less.
Roof sheeting
Chromadek, Galvanised or Polycarbonate?
The sheeting changes the look and the price. Prices are for a 6 m x 6 m Boxed double, excl. VAT. Zincalume costs about the same as Chromadek.
Chromadek IBR
Painted steel sheeting - about R29 200 on a double
Steel sheeting with a baked-on colour finish, so the carport can match your house roof or gutters.
- Choice of colours
- Neat, finished look
- Costs a little more than galvanised
Galvanised IBR
Silver zinc-coated steel - about R3 500 less on a double
The plain silver steel sheet. Strong and practical, and the most affordable roof.
- Lowest price
- Also available in corrugated
- Silver only - turns dull grey over time
Clear polycarbonate
See-through roof sheets - about R2 800 more on a double
Keeps the rain off but lets daylight through, so the area under it stays bright.
- Bright underneath
- Keeps rain off
- Shows dirt and leaves - needs a wash now and then
- Costs the most of the three

Questions we get asked
Prices & quotes
A single steel carport of about 18 m² (3 m x 6 m) costs from about R18 700 excl. VAT, supplied and installed. A double of about 36 m² (6 m x 6 m) costs from about R29 200 excl. VAT. Use the calculator on this page for the price of your exact size, design and area.
A deposit secures your job and books your installation, which starts about 7 business days later. The final payment is made once your carport is finished and you have signed it off.
The calculator shows every price both excl. VAT and incl. VAT, so you can see both.
Carports
Our carports start at 3 m x 5.5 m. A single carport is usually about 3 m wide and 5.5 m to 6 m deep, and a double about 6 m x 6 m (36 m²). We make every carport to measure, so any size in between - or bigger - is possible.
We install about 18 m² of carport a day, so a single carport usually takes one day on site and a double about two days.
Building plans and council approval are arranged by you, the property owner. Please check with your local municipality before the work starts.

Yes, we do removals, quoted separately. Removing a lapa costs more than a carport, as it is labour intensive, takes time and has to be taken down safely.
Yes, as extras. Electrical work is done by a qualified electrician we bring in, and any type of floor - paving, concrete or other - is laid by a contractor we work with. Ask for these when you request your quote.
