- Not limited to set sizes or configurations – tailor made to your needs
Genuine Australian Made and Manufactured Steel
Don’t be deceived by companies saying it is 100% manufactured in Australia. You must also ask if the actual steel is made in Australia as well. You see, when the steel is refined it ends up as a large coil of flat material. It is then roll-formed after that into the shape that is needed, such as a roof sheet or a piece of gutter. Excalibur carports only supplies Aussie made and manufactured steel. This also includes Colorbond.

Frequently Asked Questions for Carports
- What’s Included With My Carport?
- When you order your carport in kit form, every part needed is included. This includes the frame, posts, roof & infill sheets, flashings, guttering, downpipes and fasteners. Even a tube of silicone for sealing the gutter.
- Can I have a Choice of Colours?
- With us, you get to choose from any of the colours in the Colorbond range, as well as Zincalume. We only use and recommend genuine Colorbond coated steel. Be aware on inferior steel and coatings. Colorbond steel is made in Australia and tested for Australian conditions and a Colorbond Carport will give you a premium finish for many years.
- How Long Does it Take to Manufacture Carports?
- Currently, allow 5 to 7 weeks from day of order & payment, to delivery. This however can be longer, depending on suppliers and busier periods, such as Christmas.
- Are your Carports Engineered?
- Yes, all kits are engineered to meet Australian standards and local wind ratings. This includes full site specific engineering for your particular location.
- Do You Offer Installation?
- No, we specialise in supply of carport kits to most of Australia. This allows you to install it yourself or hire a builder, saving money. We may be able to put you in touch with experienced trades if needed. They will deal direct with you, to simply and easily complete your project.
- Do you deliver Australia-wide?
- Yes, we supply carport kits across all states and regions in Australia.
- Can I add a Roller Door or Panel Door?
- Roller/Panel doors are not covered under the standard engineering. Carports are designed as open sided structures and adding roller doors or walls compromises the design, and can affect the wind load and dead load on the building. People have their own choice in what they do, but we recommend against it, and will not be liable for any consequences.
- Can I Fix to a Concrete Slab
- In nearly every case, the answer is no. The use of footing plates on existing concrete is limited. They cannot be used in Cyclonic wind regions. In non-cyclonic wind regions, there must be adequate footings under the concrete, made to the engineering requirements. You are also limited with size and height. The best option is to either cut holes out of the concrete (a common practice these days) or change the carport size to go outside the line of the concrete if possible. The use of footing plates may compromise the design and engineering of the building. Again, Excalibur Carports and Excalibur Steel Buildings will not be liable for any consequences where the engineering has not been followed.
- Do I Need Council Approval?
- In most cases, yes, you will need approval from Council. The best option would be talk with a local private/building certifier or building surveyor. They can assist you in getting your building approved in the quickest and easiest way.
- What Tools are Needed?
- Basic steel building tools are all that is needed in most cases. These include a cordless drill and/or screw gun, tin snips, sockets or spanners, spirit level, tape measure, pencil etc. You may also need things such as clamps to hold the posts or the frame as you are assembling.

I toured the neighbourhood looking at all the carports….I didn’t like a lot of them as they appeared to be of very light construction. After exploring several carport firms and not finding what I was looking for, I finally struck gold and discovered Excalibur Carports. I had a lot of questions needing answers. Ashley explained everything I needed to know. All of their communications were timely and accurate and the quoted price was good. The complete kit arrived on time, packed well with everything accounted for. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Excalibur to anyone in need of a good carport.
Best regards,
Kevin B.

Thank you for supplying the Excalibur carport for our driveway. The 6mx6m carport is a magnificent structure and compliments the rest of the house perfectly. I found your knowledge of building codes and requirements to be extremely helpful, as was your customer service and post sale interest in the project. Once again, thank you, and I will not hesitate in recommending your product and service.
