A carport is the second most valuable addition to one’s home as it provides protection from the elements that can damage your automobile. A carport is a good place to wash your car in the summertime or clean out the interior. The cost of a carport is very low when compared to the price of constructing a new garage and offers a great range of styles. A carport can also be expandable by adding more roof area onto the end according to your requirements or budget. Some carports are even designed in such a way that they can be enclosed and converted into a garage should the need arise to do so.

At Roofit cc we offer an extensive range of quality products that we both manufacture and install. Our designs are aesthetically pleasing and can be adapted to satisfy specific client needs. And we don’t compromise on quality as only A-grade steel is used. Our premium metal carports are the most durable option and provides the best protection for your vehicles. Steel carports require very little maintenance and therefore offers the highest quality and best value for money over the long-term. At Roof-it cc we offer the following product types of carports:

• Single, double and triple carports
• Dome shape carports (with or without guttering and fascia’s)
• Pyramid form carports (with or without guttering and fascia’s)
• Flat top carports (with or without guttering and fascia’s)
• Arch form carport (with or without guttering and fascia’s)
• Designer model carports (with or without guttering and fascia’s)

As far as the roofs of the carports are concerned, we offer the following (all with or without guttering and fascias):

• different shapes (flat roofs, arch roofs, pitched roofs, barrel roofs) and
• different materials (Chromadek, corrugated iron, IBR, steel tiles, clay tiles). With galvanized roofs you get a bare steel look and with Chromadek you can choose from different colours. The steel is primed only.

Roof-it cc also offers DIY carport kits that you can erect yourself.

Things to keep in mind when building your carport

The first thing to be considered is the material you would like to use, as several choices are available, from metal and wood to aluminum and steel-and-glass designs. Metal is generally the best option for building a carport, as it is resistant to a lot of climatic conditions. And seeing as the carport will be open on numerous sides, the heat from the metal won’t be as big a problem as it will be in the case of a fully-enclosed garage.

Additional touches for a carport

With some creativity, your carport can become so much more than a mere parking spot for your vehicle. Why not add a few décor pieces to make it stand out more, such as flowerpots in and around it to help it blend in with your garden? Trees around the carport not only add to the design, but also increase shading – a crucial factor in South Africa’s harsh climate.

You might also want to consider artificial lighting fixtures for night-time; these lights will not only enhance the beauty of your carport’s design, but also improve visibility, not to mention safety.

For flooring, choose materials that not only match your carport’s design, but also your house’s façade. A variety of tiles are available that match your home’s design and to blend in with your yard/garden. Cement plastering, ceramics and gravel are other popular choices. The choice of material for a carport’s floor needs to be non-slippery, be powerful enough to hold heavy loads, and be resistant to harsh weather. Remember to include water lines or some sort of drainage for when you will be washing your car in the carport, helping to channel water directly into the gutter.
