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:
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:
Professional Installation:
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:
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.
