Excalibur Carports supplies heavy-duty, council-ready DIY carport kits across Greater Mackay, the Whitsundays, and the Bowen Basin. If you want a structurally superior steel carport engineered to survive cyclonic weather without the high labor margins of a custom builder, our supply-only kits offer unbeatable value.
The Smart Alternative to Custom Builders in NQLD
Securing an available builder or tradesperson in the Mackay and Whitsundays region can mean long waitlists and inflated retail margins. Our supply-only model cuts out the middleman, putting you back in control of your budget and build timeline.
By choosing to assemble the kit yourself over a weekend—or hiring a local carpenter or concreter at standard hourly rates—the average homeowner saves thousands compared to turnkey installation packages.
How Much Do Carport Kits Cost?
We believe in pricing transparency so you can plan your property upgrade with confidence. Because you buy directly and manage the build, you save straight away on materials:
- Single Carport Kits (3.0m x 6.0m): From $3,477 + GST (plus delivery).
- Double Carport Kits (6.0m x 6.0m): From $4,827 + GST (plus delivery).
Note: Exact pricing is determined by your chosen roof design, custom sizing, and specific engineering calculations. Typical lead times are 4-6 weeks from order confirmation.
Regional Logistics: Townsville Manufacturing, Mackay Distribution
Every carport kit features high-grade Australian BlueScope steel components manufactured in Townsville and distributed through our Mackay Lysaght branch. This streamlined supply chain ensures top-tier quality control before your kit is shipped down the Bruce Highway.
Our regular delivery runs service the Greater Mackay region, including: Mackay Metropolitan areas, Walkerston, Eton, Marian, Mirani, Sarina, Campwin Beach, Bowen, Proserpine, Airlie Beach, Moranbah, and Nebo.
Engineering for Cyclonic Region C & Subtropical Climates
Mackay is located in Wind Region C (Cyclonic), which requires structures to withstand wind speeds of up to 220 km/h. Furthermore, Mackay features a humid subtropical climate where the temperature typically varies from 13°C to 29°C, combined with high humidity and intense seasonal rainfall from January to March.
Every Excalibur carport kit is custom-engineered to meet AS/NZS 1170.2 wind load standards (2021) to endure these severe weather events. To ensure maximum structural integrity, our kits feature:
- High Tensile C Section rafters and purlins available in 150mm, 200mm, 250mm, and 300mm sizes.
- Heavy-duty 100mm x 100mm SHS (Square Hollow Section) posts in higher grade G450 steel.
- Galvanised steel framing with Duragal coating on posts to combat coastal salt air and humidity.
While steel manufacturers do not offer standard commercial warranties for open-sided structures, we provide a structural warranty by means of a 50-year design working life on our engineering and fabrication.
Premium Roofing, Guttering & Maintenance Options
Your carport should seamlessly blend with your home’s architecture. We offer 22 COLORBOND® steel colours—including popular local choices like Surfmist®, Deep Ocean®, and Woodland Grey®.
- Trimdek®: Offers superior strength and water shedding, and can be used down to a 2-degree roof pitch which reduces wind load.
- Custom Orb®: Perfect for matching heritage Queenslanders, with roof pitch increased to 5 degrees to ensure efficient rapid water shedding.
Maintenance Tip for Coastal QLD: To prevent salt air corrosion during periods of high humidity, we recommend washing your structure with fresh water monthly and checking all fasteners before the wet season begins.
Navigating Local Council Approvals
Erecting a new structure on your property will require council approval. In the Mackay Regional Council area, structures over 10 square metres generally require approval. Special consideration is also required if your property sits in a Flood and Coastal Hazards Overlay (Storm-Tide Inundation Area).
We highly recommend reviewing the building and planning guidelines specific to your local area. You can find more information directly on the Mackay Regional Council.
While we act strictly as the material supplier, every Excalibur kit includes complete structural engineering calculations. For council application and approval processes, we strongly recommend consulting with a local building certifier who can make the approval process quicker and easier.
