Carports Done Properly
A carport gives your vehicles shade and shelter without the cost of a full garage, and it can be built to suit a single car, a double, or a tall boat or caravan.
We build carports in Colorbond steel to match your home, engineered for Perth's wind and UV so they last without maintenance headaches.
Whether you need a flat roof carport out front or a high-clearance caravan port down the side, we design it to fit your block and your specific vehicle dimensions.
A well-built carport also protects paint, upholstery and rubber seals from UV damage that costs real money in Perth's intense sun over time.
Protects your vehicles
Shade from the sun and shelter from storms and falling debris throughout the year.
Cheaper than a garage
Covered parking for a fraction of the cost and construction time of a full garage.
Built for boats and RVs
High-clearance boat and caravan ports designed around the exact height you need.
Matches your home
Colorbond finishes and rooflines chosen to complement your existing house style and colour.
UV protection
Perth's UV intensity is among the highest in Australia. A carport dramatically cuts paint and rubber deterioration on parked vehicles.
Designed to your block
We work with your frontage, driveway angle and boundary setbacks to produce a carport that fits the block properly and gains approval.

Carports for Every Vehicle
Not every carport is the same. A commuter car needs a neat single or double cover, while a boat on a trailer or a large caravan needs real height and length to clear the rig comfortably.
Measure at its tallest point
The roof clearance of a carport must suit the tallest point of your rig, not its typical height. For a caravan this is often the rooftop air conditioner. For a boat it might be the motor on the tilt-up bracket.
| Vehicle type | Key design requirement | Roof style |
|---|---|---|
| Single car | Standard width and clearance | Flat or gable |
| Double car | Side-by-side span, shared beam | Flat or gable |
| Caravan or motorhome | High clearance, long length | Gable or high flat |
| Boat on trailer | Height for hull and motor | Gable or high flat |
| Freestanding | Independent footings, no house fixing | Flat or gable |
Common carport configurations and key design requirements.
Flat Roof or Gable Carport
Most carports use a simple flat roof to keep costs down and lines clean. A gable carport adds height and presence, and suits homes where the carport is a visible feature at the front of the property.

A gable carport lifts the street view
A gable roof at the front of the home adds architectural presence and can complement a pitched main roof better than a flat cover. It costs more but the street appeal can be worth it.
Setbacks and Council Rules in Joondalup
Carports built near the street boundary are subject to specific rules about setback, height and the percentage of the frontage that can be covered. Most carports need a building permit.
- We check the zoning and R-code setback rules for your specific block
- We prepare the site plan and engineering drawings for the permit submission
- We lodge the building permit application with the City of Joondalup
- We advise on any development approval triggers such as heritage or special use areas
- Completion documentation is provided at handover for your records
Front setback rules apply
A carport in the front setback area is subject to specific rules about the open area that must remain visible from the street. We check this before designing so you are not committed to a layout that cannot be approved.
FAQs
Carports FAQs
Most carports need a building permit, especially those located near the street boundary. We handle the drawings, engineering and permit application with the City of Joondalup on your behalf.
Yes. We build high-clearance boat and caravan ports designed around the exact height and length of your rig so it fits comfortably with room to spare.
Often yes. If you think you might enclose it down the track, tell us upfront and we can design the structure to make that conversion easier and cheaper.
A carport is an open covered structure, which is cheaper and faster to build. A garage is fully enclosed and lockable. A carport provides most of the sun and weather protection at a fraction of the cost.
The full Colorbond range is available. We generally recommend matching the carport roof to the home's existing roof colour or guttering for a cohesive result from the street.
Most single and double carports are installed in one to two days on site once the building permit is approved. Larger or more complex structures take a little longer.
Yes. Joondalup is in a wind region that requires specific engineering for structures of this type. We size the posts, beams and footings to the correct wind classification for your site, not a generic national minimum.
