CUSTOM SOLUTIONS
Designed for Every Driveway
We understand that every home and driveway is different. That’s why our carports are never one-size-fits-all. We take the time to assess your space and offer tailored designs — from flat-roofed single carports to double gables or fully insulated options. Our structures use high-quality materials, selected to suit the local climate and resist wear from sun, wind, and salt air. Whether you’re after something sleek and modern or a traditional design that matches your home’s exterior, we’ve got options to suit your vision and budget.
Carports don’t just protect your vehicles — they improve street appeal, increase property value, and add a practical extension to your space. We can integrate lighting, guttering, and even connect your carport to existing structures to maximise usability. Our builds are clean, efficient, and completed with full respect for your property. With Hunter & Mid Coast Patios, you're not just getting a carport — you're getting a smart, lasting investment.

Do I need council approval for a carport in NSW?
Yes, in most cases, you’ll need council approval for a carport in New South Wales. Local regulations vary, but generally any structure larger than 10m² or positioned close to property boundaries requires permission. An experienced installer can help manage the approval process, submit plans, and ensure your build is fully compliant with council guidelines and building codes.
What are the benefits of installing a carport?
Carports provide shade and protection from rain, hail, and UV exposure, which helps prolong your vehicle’s lifespan and reduces interior fading. They're also faster and more cost-effective to build than a garage. A well-designed carport can improve your home’s curb appeal and even increase property value. Plus, they can double as covered outdoor areas for entertaining or storage.
What materials are best for building a carport?
Steel and aluminium are popular for their strength and durability, especially in coastal or storm-prone regions. Colorbond roofing is a common choice for its weather resistance and colour options. Timber can be used for a more natural aesthetic, though it requires more upkeep. The best material depends on your local conditions, design preferences, and maintenance expectations.
