Protect your car and elevate your outdoor space with one of our single carport kits
Carports are a popular choice for homeowners who want to protect their vehicles from the elements while enhancing the overall look of their property. Among the diverse range of carport options available, single carports are a particularly versatile and practical solution. Compact and functional, single carports provide coverage for a single vehicle—ideal for homeowners with minimal space.
We offer a range of DIY carport kits from Absco Sheds and Spanbilt, Australia’s leading manufacturers of tough, free-standing carports. Browse the collection and shop online for fast, affordable shipping Australia-wide (or look for the blue “free shipping” tag for additional savings).
The benefits of investing in a single carport
A single carport offers a range of benefits to your home and property. Most importantly, a carport is designed to shield your vehicle from harsh elements, including direct sunlight, rain, hail, and snow. Absco Sheds and Spanbilt’s single carports are made from high-quality materials like UV-resistant, high-tensile Colorbond Steel, which has been tried and tested to meet Australian Standards and harsh weather conditions.
Offering a covered space, single carports preserve your car’s paint, upholstery, and other components, extending its lifespan and maintaining its resale value as long as possible.
A well-designed carport can also improve your property's overall curb appeal. Available in Colorbond’s popular Zincalume and Monument colours, our single carports integrate seamlessly with the existing landscape and facade, creating a good-looking outdoor space.
Aside from its protective qualities, a carport can also create a versatile space for entertaining guests on hot summer days, storing outdoor equipment, and even setting up a workshop or hobby area.
Factors to consider when choosing a stylish new carport
Several key factors should be considered when choosing a new carport for your property. For example, it’s crucial to accurately measure your vehicle's available space and size to ensure ample clearance, easy access, and maneuverability. Consider factors like depth, width, and height requirements to accommodate your vehicle and compare them to the dimensions of our carports.
Structural integrity is also important, especially in areas prone to severe weather conditions like strong winds. Look for features like heavy-duty anchoring systems and compliance with local building codes to ensure your new carport can withstand the elements.
On that note, all carports and structures must be secured to a concrete slab. Here’s a tutorial on how to lay a concrete slab.
