Customise 6x6 Carports to your style | Carport Roofing Options
- Flat – A very versatile style that works with a lot of old and newer houses. This style provides a clean minimalist finish for any application. On top of steel, flat roofs also open up more options; you can choose to go for an insulated roofing panel or a polycarbonate roofing which adds light to the space and looks very contemporary.
- Gable – One of the most popular styles of carports, gable roofing consists of two roofs that are diagonally slanted and meet at the middle. They can have a perpendicular wall on their faces like a triangular prism or be completely hollow in this area.
- Dutch Gable – The Dutch gable style has similarities to both gable roofing and hip roofing. Visually it looks like the top half of a triangular prism has been placed on top of the bottom half of a hip roof. Its artistic style is perfect for entertaining.
- Hip – All sides of a hip roof slope towards the middle. This is another common roofing style that will work with properties that also share this type of roofing style.
- Dome – A new roofing profile with great contemporary style that looks like a rounded curve surface. Dome roofing is very popular in polycarbonate, which is a material that looks a lot like glass but is more effective at blocking UV and insulating while providing light. The curved structure also allows rain to run right off.
Valuable investment into your property | Prime protection and aesthetic
Building a carport is a valuable investment for your car and house that is more affordable than a garage. In addition to sheltering your vehicle from harsh weather and bird droppings, a carport allows you to enter and exit your car without getting wet. A remote-controlled gate to your carport can protect your car, backyard, and house from theft or intrusion.
Property investments can be a slippery slope, as projects can balloon in time and money spent. At Austek, we do our best to guarantee you get the lowest price carports!

FAQs
How much does a Stratco carport cost?
A basic DIY carport from Stratco will cost $3000-$5000 on average, with deluxe installed carports starting at around $5000 and increasing the more features you opt for (such as lighting and Colorbond steel). At Austek, we have lots of experience constructing Stratco kits for our clients, which makes for a swift and efficient installation.
How much would it cost to have a carport built?
A carport in Australia can go for $1000 to well over $5000 if you decide to include premium materials and electrics. DIY kits tend to be cheaper, but the cost caused by simple mistakes can make up for that. When in doubt, always rely on local carport building experts with quality reviews online.
Is it cheaper to build your own carport?
Technically, yes, as long as you know which materials to choose and have the technical skills for the job. A lot of homeowners prefer the peace of mind that comes from hiring a professional carport builder. Even if you do put up the carport yourself, take into account other factors (such as add-on electrics) that you might legally require a certain kind of specialist.
Does a carport add value to your house?
A carport does add value to a property by providing vehicle protection, additional flexible covered space, and curb appeal. This is especially true in areas with limited off-street and on-street parking. A carport can even recoup its cost upon the sale of the property, making it a sound long-term investment.
How much is a Colorbond carport?
A DIY Colorbond metal carport kit may cost around $3000, while a professionally installed custom carport with all the bells and whistles may cost between $10000 and $20000. Despite the higher cost, customers are usually very happy with the finished result, as Colorbond steel is notoriously durable and resistant to weathering, rust, and even fire. For a long-lived, minimal upkeep carport, choose Colorbond if you can.
What is a good size for a 2-car carport?
A good size for a two-car carport is 6m by 6m, with height set between 2.4m and 3m. This gives ample space for a pair of regular vehicles to nestle side by side, without preventing doors from opening or causing scratches to your (often expensive) paint job. If you happen to own bigger vehicles (4WD, etc), you might opt for a bigger carport for added peace of mind, and this is something you can discuss with any specialist builders you may employ for the task.
What size is a single carport in Australia?
Across Australia, a standard single-car carport is around 3m wide and 6m long, though individual kits often allow for slight adjustments. For example, a kit might let you make a 3m by 6.2m carport. The standard height for a carport is also 2.4m, but many homeowners opt for slightly taller or shorter designs to suit the wide variety of vehicles found in Australia nowadays.
Do I need planning permission for a carport?
Yes, you will almost always need council permission to put up a new carport in Australia. Certain very small carports may be exempt, but to avoid costly fines, always seek clarification first. The decision may differ from council to council, so you will need to seek permission for multiple homes in differing suburbs separately.
Are car gazebos a good investment?
Indeed, they are. When you don’t have access to (or simply can’t afford) a big enclosed garage, a car gazebo is a budget-friendly alternative that reduces UV exposure, prevents hail damage, and increases the overall value of your property. Even when no vehicle is present, they can double as a covered patio or outdoor work area.
Can a car gazebo withstand wind?
Ideally, yes. While there is a risk of updrafts causing damage to cheaper, flimsier car gazebos, all you need to do to avoid this is invest in better-quality materials and proper anchoring. You can look at adding additional support struts for extra peace of mind, and a professional car gazebo installer can recommend how best to integrate your gazebo with the environment, natural wind breaks and even your house.
What gazebo can be left up all year?
Permanently anchored hardtop gazebos can be left up indefinitely, provided they are made from durable materials such as galvanised steel, powder-coated aluminium, or rot-resistant timber. More temporary fabric-based gazebos (tarp and sail cloth) or pop-up options are not recommended as a year-long solution, because bad weather is far more likely to damage them, which can, in turn, lead to damage to your vehicle or work area.
What is the Australian standard for pool balustrade?
Australia requires some fairly strict compliance for the sake of safety when installing pool fencing, especially when it comes to the wellbeing of children. The fence itself must be all-enclosing, at least 1.2m high, with a gate that automatically closes and latches shut. You will also need to ensure that there is a sizeable no-climb space around the fence to prevent kids from climbing over, as well as up-to-date CPR signage. Failure to meet these criteria can get you into big trouble, so if in doubt, turn to experienced pool balustrade specialists for installation.
Is it illegal to have a pool without a fence in Australia?
Yes. Simple as that, honestly. If you install a pool on your property, the chance of a harmful accident goes up immediately and significantly. A fence is required to reduce that risk, and CPR signage is also needed just in case an incident occurs, regardless. Failure to properly fence your pool can result in fines of several hundred dollars, and potentially nasty lawsuits if somebody ends up hurt. If you’re not 100% up to date with pool law, turning to a pool fence builder with experience is the best choice.
Are permanent gazebos worth the cost?
Totally. Their sheer durability and the protection they provide to your vehicle are already reasons enough to invest in one. Additionally, they make for better frames when installing lighting and other electrics to the space beneath. Even better, they are often more aesthetically pleasing than their temporary counterparts, adding more curb appeal to your property than a gazebo that looks flimsy and ad-hoc.
What is the strongest gazebo in Australia?
It could be argued that the TSS Transportable Shade Shed is a contender for the strongest car gazebo in Australia. Each structure is wind-rated and even cyclone-rated, made from high-quality steel. Some other strong brand options are Altegra, Hercules, and Extreme Marquees, each of which offers hardy car gazebos in a variety of styles.
