I had a great experience with Tinashe Carports and Awnings pty Ltd for my solid roof carport! The team was really professional and accommodating, making sure I got exactly what I wanted. They were also punctual and friendly, which made the whole process enjoyable. The only minor hiccup was a slight delay in the start time, but they kept me updated all along. Overall, a fantastic service!
They arrived with a full compliment of workers and completed the job in one day.
Carport should have been equidistant between the two supporting walls.

Professionalism.
The service was okay. There were some things we were not completely happy with but we will sort that out ourselves.
Anyone who enlists his services must bear with him as he is an emerging entrepreneur eager to do the work than professionals are not eager to do.
Very good services, I am very happy with their work.
I couldn't be happier with the job. The team was profesional, super responsive and genuinely friendly — really attentive and meticulous with every detail. Their customer service was excellent and the finished work is clearly high-quality.
I reached out to them and they gave quotes immediately and completed the job perfectly. If there was an option to rate them a 10, I would do so!

Frequently asked questions
-
How does the climate affect different fence materials?
When choosing a fence, you should take into account the climate of the area where you live. For example, in colder climates, consider the frost line and use concrete anchors placed deep enough to support the fence posts. For warmer and wetter climates, you should stay away from most woods because they are susceptible to water damage. Vinyl is the best choice for more temperate regions as it can hold up in damp weather, but it can be damaged by extreme heat. If you live in an area that experiences frequent frigid temperatures, then you may want to stick with more durable materials. Metal, bamboo and specific species of wood are the most resilient materials in colder climates.
-
How high can my fence be?
Boundary walls and fences must be measured from the existing level of the ground that abuts the wall or fence. If the level of the ground on opposite sides of the fence or wall are not equal, the height should be measured from the higher of the two sides. If soil is retained by a boundary wall, the maximum permitted height of the retained soil is 2,1 m. This should be measured from the natural ground level in front of the wall. A balustrade wall not exceeding 1 m in height is permitted above the level of the retained soil.
