Heavy-Duty Single Carports: Protect Your Vehicle & Add Value

The Complete Guide to Single Carport Kits

A single carport is simply the easiest and most effective way to protect your car, boat, caravan, or motorhome from all weather, including harsh hail. Properly designed single carports are simple to install and are specifically engineered so they don’t take up unnecessary room in your driveway or yard.

Maximising Investment Property Value

If you own an investment property without undercover car accommodation, you are likely missing out on higher rental income and better quality tenants. Adding a single carport is a highly cost-effective home improvement that gives tenants peace of mind, instantly adding real value to your property and boosting your rental yields.

Single Carport Dimensions: Finding the Perfect Fit

While a 3m x 6m footprint is a commonly known standard single carport size, Excalibur Carports can manufacture virtually any width, length, and height to do the job. Your minimum size will depend on your property’s space and boundary limitations.

• Small Vehicles (3m x 5m): The perfect compact footprint for one small car.
• Medium Vehicles (3.5m x 5.5m): The ideal dimensions to comfortably fit one medium-sized car.
• Large Vehicles (3.5m x 6m to 4m x 7m): Highly recommended for larger, longer vehicles like dual cabs or classic cars.
• Caravans and Boats: These typically require much greater length and custom clearance heights compared to standard cars. Let us know what clearance height you need so we can tailor the kit.

Crucial Clearance Warning: When sizing your single carport, please note that the steel posts connect to the inside of the roof frame. Always ensure the internal clearance between the posts is wide enough for you to comfortably drive your vehicle in and out.

Pricing, Premium Inclusions, and Roof Designs

When planning your single carport, understanding the costs and knowing exactly what is included in your kit is essential. Excalibur Carports ensures you get maximum value with heavy-duty Australian steel and extensive customisation options to match your home.

How Much Does a Single Carport Cost?

Because every property is different, pricing will depend on a few key variables:

• Dimensions: The specific width, length, and clearance height you require for your vehicle, boat, or caravan.
• Roof Design: The architectural style you select, whether that is a skillion, gable, hip, or dutch gable roof.
• Wind Ratings: Carports built in cyclonic areas require stronger engineering compared to non-cyclonic regions, which affects the final price.

As a general guide, a single carport price ranges from $3450 to $8230, depending heavily on these design, size, and site-specific engineering factors.

Uncompromising Quality: What’s in the Kit?

Our single carport kits are supplied with everything pre-cut and pre-punched as much as possible to save you time and money during the building process. The only additional material you need to purchase locally is concrete for the footings.

• Heavy-Duty Supports: Stronger grade 450 100mm x 100mm SHS steel posts, provided with extra length for secure casting into footings.
• Premium Framing & Roofing: A high-tensile genuine Bluescope Lysaght C-section frame paired with your choice of Lysaght ‘Trimdek’ or ‘Custom Orb’ Colorbond roof sheets.
• Complete Hardware Pack: All custom-made high-tensile connection brackets, colour-coded screws, rivets, bolts, nuts, washers, and gutter sealing silicone are provided.

Engineering, Approvals, and Installation

Building a single carport requires strict adherence to safety standards and local regulations. Fortunately, our kits are designed to make the paperwork, delivery, and construction as smooth as possible.

Site-Specific Engineering & Council Approvals

Every single carport we sell comes complete with comprehensive, site-specific engineering to ensure your structure is safe, legal, and compliant with Australian regulations.

• Full Documentation: You receive a complete set of drawings, full calculations, and an engineering certificate signed by a registered practising engineer.
• Council Approvals: In nearly every case, you will need council approval, but our heavy-duty engineering documentation makes this process significantly easier and quicker.
• The NSW Exemption: If you live in New South Wales, there is excellent news! A single carport up to 25 square metres in area will likely not have to go through the formal council approval process due to specific NSW state exemptions.
• Expert Help: For all other states, we highly recommend using a private building certifier or approvals business to handle the council process on your behalf.

Delivery Logistics & Build Times

Our single carports are supplied as pre-cut, pre-punched kits, saving you time and money whether you build it yourself or hire a professional.

• Nationwide Delivery: We deliver to most areas around Australia using crane trucks to unload your materials safely and quickly. Because our steel supplier has a massive delivery footprint, we can offer a flat minimum delivery fee.
• Skillion Carports: Typically take 1.5 to 2 days for two people to build.
• Gable Carports: Generally take 2 to 3 days for a two-person team to assemble.
• Hip & Dutch Gable Carports: Usually require about 3 to 5 days to complete.
