Carports
Your car dry and frost-free, without a garage. An aluminium carport made to fit your driveway.
A carport protects your car from rain, hail, birds and falling leaves, and in winter there’s no scraping. You get in dry, and you have a covered spot for bikes or the bins straight away.
Aluminium stays good-looking for years without painting. We make your carport to fit your driveway, so it suits your house and your car fits under it easily.
Why a carport?
- Get in dry, no scraping ice

- Low-maintenance aluminium
- Made to fit your driveway
- Personal advice and a no-obligation quote
What you choose
We make everything to measure. These are the choices that make the difference:
- Placement
- Against the wall of your house or freestanding on the driveway.
- Size
- For one or two cars, or with extra space for bikes and storage.
- Sides
- Open, or closed on one side against wind and sideways rain.
- Lighting
- Light under the carport is handy when you come home in the dark.
What to check before you order
Four things to check now, so everything fits first time.
Measure your tallest car
Including a roof box or bike rack, plus some clearance. That way it will still fit later on.
Check the permit
Next to or behind your house a carport often doesn’t need permission; at the front it usually does. Check with your local planning authority.
Check the ground
The posts need a solid base. Block paving sometimes needs a concrete footing.
Where will the rainwater go?
Think about how the gutter drains: into a downpipe, a drain or the garden.

Do I need permission for a carport?
That depends on where it goes. Next to or behind your house it often doesn’t; at the front it usually does. Check with your local planning authority or your municipality.
How tall should a carport be?
Tall enough for your tallest car with a roof box if you use one, plus some clearance. Give us that measurement and we’ll advise you.
Can a carport attach to my house?
Often, yes. Send a photo of the wall and the driveway with your request and we’ll see how it connects best.
