Our design process focuses on functionality and visual harmony.

Find Your Perfect Fit: How to Size a Carport That Works for You

Choosing the right size for your freestanding carport is essential to maximise functionality and aesthetic appeal. Consider these simple steps:

  • 1

    Measure your vehicles – Include mirrors, roof racks, and doors for clearance.

  • 2

    Add extra space – Allow room for walking, storage, and future vehicle upgrades.

  • 3

    Account for property layout – Ensure easy access and alignment with existing driveways or sheds.

Our most popular options include:

  • Single Carport: Ideal for compact spaces or single vehicles.

  • Double Carport: Perfect for families with multiple vehicles.

  • Large or Custom Carports: Suitable for caravans, boats, or trade vehicles.

We’ll help you choose the right span, height, and roof pitch based on your terrain, wind rating, and intended use. Whether you want a freestanding shelter or one combined with patios or verandahs, our builders ensure the result enhances both value and usability.

Enhance your home with freestanding carports designed for both function and style. Choose from sleek flat roof options or combine your design with a patio or pergola for a seamless outdoor extension. Every kit is crafted from premium materials and part of a trusted range of products built to last.

Built to Last: Choosing the Best Materials for Strength and Style

Durability starts with premium materials. Every Advanced Decking & Patios carport is constructed using high-grade Colorbond steel—100% Australian-made and trusted for its corrosion resistance, strength, and colour range. For additional protection and energy efficiency, insulated roofing panels are available, providing better temperature control and reduced noise.

We also offer zincalume options, aluminium frames, and powder-coated finishes for long-term performance. The combination of structural steel beams, metal roofing sheets, and engineered footings ensures your carport can withstand cyclonic wind ratings and tough coastal conditions. Each component—from fascia beams to wall posts—is chosen for maximum longevity and minimal maintenance.

Material Highlights:

  • Colorbond steel roofing

  • Powder-coated aluminium posts

  • Zincalume options for budget builds

  • Insulated panels for comfort

  • Rust-resistant coatings for coastal durability

Our products are backed by manufacturer warranties and expert craftsmanship, delivering a structure that not only looks good but performs exceptionally year after year.

Our freestanding carports are crafted to blend strength with style, featuring modern flat roof designs that integrate effortlessly beside any patio or pergola. Each addition is part of a carefully curated selection of high-quality products, built to deliver lasting protection and enhance the overall look of your outdoor living space.

DIY Kits vs. Professional Installations — What Delivers Real Value

Homeowners often ask whether a DIY kit or a full installation offers better value. The answer depends on your skills, time, and desired outcome.

DIY Carport Kits:

  • Pre-engineered and packaged for easy installation

  • Detailed instructions for quick assembly

  • Cost-effective option with flexible delivery

  • Ideal for simple flat or gable designs

Professional Installation:

  • Managed by licensed builders

  • Includes council approvals and site preparation

  • Customised finishes and complex roof options

  • Fast turnaround with quality assurance

For many, the best way to ensure a flawless finish is to engage our professional team. However, if you’re confident with tools and want to save on labour, our DIY carport kits are an excellent choice. All kits come with engineering certification and can be delivered directly to your property, ready for installation.

Fair, Transparent Pricing: What to Expect from Start to Finish

At Advanced Decking & Patios, we believe quality outdoor structures should be affordable and transparent. Think a custom patio, carport, or pergola is too expensive? Think again. Our pricing is straightforward, with no hidden fees or surprise extras.

What influences cost:

  • Size and roof type (flat, gable, or flyover)

  • Materials used (Colorbond, insulated panels, aluminium)

  • Complexity of design and footings

  • DIY kit vs. professional installation

  • Council approval requirements

We’ll provide a detailed, obligation-free quote that outlines every cost from base materials to optional extras. This means you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for—no guesswork, no hidden costs.

Freestanding vs. Attached: Which Option Adds More Value to Your Home?

When planning your new carport, deciding between a freestanding and attached structure is key. Both offer excellent protection, but they differ in flexibility and visual impact.

Feature Freestanding Attached
Placement Anywhere on property Must connect to home
Design Flexibility High Moderate
Council Approvals Typically simpler May require more assessment
Aesthetic Appeal Standalone feature Integrated with home facade
Value Addition Enhances property layout Extends living area

Freestanding carports are ideal for larger blocks, secondary parking areas, or where wall connection is impractical. They’re also easier to customise in terms of size and orientation. Attached designs work best when you want continuous cover from your front door to your vehicle or to extend an existing verandah, pergola, or patio.

Our design consultants will help you choose the right solution based on your site, budget, and long-term plans.
