I was surprised at how well Procompare works. I got several offers for a wood carport in a matter of hours. I chose the contractor that had the best reviews, and I made the right choice! The carport is top quality and looks nice as well.

Things you should take into account before deciding on the size of the carport are: the number od vehicles you will park under the carport, the type of vehicle(s), the height of your vehicle(s), intended use of the carport (if you want to have extra storage space), if you are planning to buy anopther/a different vehicle.
The area of installation must be clear, firm and flat. Some companies can do site preparation for you, others offer installation only. Check with the chosen company before conducting the contract.
According to the SANS regulations you do not need plans but you should still check with your local council because you might need to get approval from them.
The lifespan of the carport depends on the quality of the carport and the materials it is made of, but no carport on the market should last less than 10 years.
Need space to house a caravan and a trailer (approx. 6 x 7m with a minimum height of 2.7m). I want the carport to double as a garage, i.e. closed sides and roll-up doors, and also a pedestrian entrance door. The area needs to be deforested, levelled and paved, you may include this in your quote or I could source an alternative provider for this.
We have 24 carports (steel) and a shade net for 3 cars. We would like to fix the current carports (steel) with new steel and fix the shade net. The other option would be to completely change the steel carports to shade nets, so we would like 2 different quotes: 1. Fixing current carports 2. Replace with shade nets I am available on email and WhatsApp throughout the day.

Two carports. The first one is about 7.4m W x 6mL. One side (6mL) will be fixed against a wall and the other side on poles. No middle pole on the 7.4 m width side. That side is the entry side for the vehicles. Second one. 6mL x3m W. 6m side fixed against a wall. no poles on the other side. Lots of wind and close to the sea. Must be rust-resistant.
Require a carport for two cars, one behind the other, down the side of the house. To protect cars from falling pine tree leaves and other leaves that get blown down 3m wide gap from the house wall to the side wall. Not bothered if wood or metal however metals needs to be galvanized due to area. to be installed in Sedgefield. You can contact me via Whatsapp. Thank you
I'm looking for a shaded carport for 2 vehicles with a possible second one (also 2 vehicles). The first will be located in front of a double garage and the second to be determined. The carport will be standalone unless otherwise advised. The current space available for the first is about the length of two VW polo (Hatch), not sure about the length meter-wise.
I need: 1. Carport for 2 cars +- 8*7 sq - IBR 2. Kitchen porch/cover +-7*1.3 sq - Chromadek 3. Front porch/cover +- 7*1.5 sq - IBR with Wendy House Wood ceiling 4. I will prefer not to use poles but rather use support pillars build with face brick which I have available. This will match the face brick of my house
Hi I am looking for a carport that would be 8m long to fit two cars next to each other, please. I would like to hang roller/drop blind on each side of the carport. I have attached pictures of where I want the carport to be. It needs to be a solid roof and not a net. Is this something that you assist me with? Hope to hear from you soon. Charéll
Good morning Please would you quote me for building the carport attached. I've attached the following: 1. Picture of my house where the carport will be 2. My neighbour's carport (my carport should also be similar) 3. Drawings by architect (6m x 6m are the dimensions), they have been approved by municipality finally 4. The picture of an example where the 4th pillar needs to be slightly in (this will also be necessary in my carport, for easy exit out of the garage).
