Looking to Buy a Double Carport Kit?
Double carport kits are one of the most popular home improvement projects in for Australian homes, and for good reason.
They’re an affordable way to both protect your vehicles and add to the look and value of your home.
But as with everything we buy these days, not all double carport kits are the same.
Here are 5 factors you should investigate before buying your double carport kit:
- Quality of Steel – are you buying a carport made from genuine Australian steel or is it imported steel. Excalibur Carports have always been associated with Bluescope steel and so you can feel confident you are getting a quality double carport kit
- Engineering Design – firstly does the double carport kit come with the relevant site specific engineering. If it doesn’t, we would recommend that you steer clear of it as you will never be able to get it approved. All double carports from Excalibur Carports include the engineering. Secondly does the engineering comply with current standards and wind conditions. We can supply carport kit suitable for cyclonic and non-cyclonic areas.
- Finish – only genuine colorbond can give you a long lasting professional clean finish
- Aestetics – is it to scale, does it include all the flashings and coloured screws
- Ease of Construction – does the carport kit come with a guide and drawings, a parts list so you can check off what you need, and can you call up if you need some technical assistance.

Building a Double Carport Kit
Installing a double carport kit is basically the same as any other size carport kit, as the principles remain across the spectrum of sizes.
Where possible it is always preferable to have a more solid and stronger braced anchoring of the carport and this usually means that the posts be concreted directly into the ground. In lower wind regions there can be an option for plates, but post embedment has more benefits.
Take your time understanding the process and always refer to your documentation.
