Every carport type, built for the Highveld
Nine carport ranges cover every Johannesburg driveway, from a single-car steel frame to a plot-sized four-bay. Each range below has its own sizing and price band; the roof sheeting and gauge are chosen for hail and UV, not just for looks.
Double carports
Two cars side by side, 6m × 6m, from R12,500 — the most-fitted size in the northern suburbs.
Double carportSteel & IBR carports
Galvanised frames with hail-rated IBR sheeting — the Highveld standard.
Steel carportAluminium carports
Rust-proof, powder-coated and light — the upmarket north's choice.

Carports in Johannesburg South »Why Johannesburg carports are built differently
The Highveld summer decides the structure. Johannesburg sits at 1,753 m with the country's most intense hail belt, and afternoon storms from October to March drop hail that dents unprotected bonnets and cracks windscreens in minutes. A carport here is vehicle armour first and shade second, which is why the roof sheeting and steel gauge matter more than they do at the coast. KB Carports has been building these structures since 2012, first in Cape Town and now across Gauteng from the KB Carports group. The full reasoning — IBR versus stretch cover, sheeting gauge and roof pitch — is in the Highveld hail protection guide.
What a carport costs in Johannesburg
A single steel carport starts near R6,500 supplied and installed, a double runs R12,500–R24,000, and a triple R19,000–R38,000; shade net carports start lower at R4,500 and aluminium prices at roughly one and a half times steel. The full band-by-band breakdown by type and size is on the carport prices in Johannesburg page, and the seating-to-size maths is in the carport sizes guide.

Carports in Johannesburg — common questions
How much does a carport cost in Johannesburg?
A single steel carport in Johannesburg starts at about R6,500 supplied and installed, a double runs R12,500–R24,000 and a triple R19,000–R38,000. Shade net carports start near R4,500 and aluminium carports cost roughly one and a half times an equivalent steel structure.
Do KB Carports install across the whole of Johannesburg?
Yes. KB Carports Johannesburg installs across the Greater Johannesburg metro — Sandton, Randburg, Midrand, Fourways, Roodepoort, Krugersdorp, Soweto, Lenasia and the southern suburbs — with one free on-site measure and quote.
Will a carport protect my car from Highveld hail?
Yes, if the roof is solid steel. A carport with hail-rated IBR or Q-deck steel sheeting protects a vehicle from the hail Johannesburg gets each summer. Shade net shadeports cut UV and small hail but do not stop large stones — the carport-vs-shadeport guide explains the difference.
Do I need council approval for a carport in Johannesburg?
A carport on private property in the City of Johannesburg usually needs municipal building-plan approval once it is a fixed roofed structure, and estates and complexes add their own design rules. The council-approval guide covers when a plan is required and what KB Carports supplies for it.
