Looking for a Double Carport?
Double carports 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 carports are the same.
Excalibur Carports can supply you a carport kit in all the main carport designs. The typical size for a double carport is 6 metres x 6 metres, but if you need a different size to this, please contact us and we will endeavour to meet your particular needs. Various height are available, depending on what vehicle you have – a car, four wheel drive, boat or caravan etc. All the carports come with strong SHS steel posts, either 75mm or 100mm in diameter. They have a hi-tensile steel frame made from C-Section and use genuine Colorbond Steel for the roof sheets, flashings and guttering. The frame and posts come pre-cut and pre-punched which makes installation much easier. All the materials and hardware that you need are included. We can deliver a double carport to most areas of Australia. If you have any questions, please contact us or if you are after carport prices, please ask for a carport quote.

Here are 5 factors you should investigate before buying your Double Carport:
- 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 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
- Aesthetics – 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 Double Carport Kits
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.
We wish you well in finding a solution, and welcome the opportunity to provide you with your own quality double carport kit.
