Built for Local Conditions
A well-built carport offers more than just shade—it’s a practical investment that adds year-round protection and boosts property appeal. In Newcastle, where coastal conditions can be harsh on vehicles, having a strong, weather-resistant carport can help prevent damage from UV rays, storms, and sea air. We understand the specific needs of homes in the region, and we design carports to meet them, balancing function, style, and longevity.
Our team uses premium steel and roofing options that are both attractive and durable. Installation is smooth and stress-free, thanks to our experience and clear communication throughout the job. We work with you to plan the layout, choose materials and colours, and make sure your new structure fits seamlessly with your home. Attention to detail and customer satisfaction guide every step of our process. You’ll always know what’s happening and when, with no guesswork or hidden surprises. If you want a carport that looks great and stands strong in Newcastle’s changing weather, we’re the team to trust.

In coastal areas such as Newcastle, materials need to withstand exposure to salty air, high humidity, and occasional storms. The best option is galvanised or powder-coated steel, as it resists corrosion and offers long-term durability. Colorbond steel is a popular choice for roofing because of its weather resistance and colour retention. Using treated fasteners and reinforced supports also helps extend the lifespan of the structure. Timber may be visually appealing but typically requires more maintenance in a coastal environment.

Can I attach a carport to my existing home?
Yes, you can attach a carport to your existing home, and it's often a great way to create a seamless look while making the most of available space. Attached carports are typically supported on one side by your house’s wall and on the other by posts or beams. They provide convenient covered access to the home and can sometimes be easier to get approved than freestanding structures. The key is making sure the design complements your home’s architecture and complies with structural regulations.
What size carport do I need for two vehicles?
For two average-sized cars, a double carport typically needs to be at least 6 metres wide and 5.5 to 6 metres deep. This allows enough room for opening doors and walking between vehicles. If you're parking larger vehicles like 4WDs or utes, or want extra storage space, increasing the width to 6.5 or 7 metres is recommended. It’s also a good idea to plan ahead for any future needs, like additional vehicle space, boat storage or sheltered work areas.
