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.
Single carports
One car or bakkie, 3m × 6m, from R6,500 — the Joburg entry structure.
Single carports »Double carports
Two cars side by side, 6m × 6m, from R12,500 — the most-fitted size in the northern suburbs.
Double carports »Triple & 4-bay
Three-plus vehicles, boats and trailers on plots and smallholdings.
Triple & 4-bay carports »Steel & IBR carports
Galvanised frames with hail-rated IBR sheeting — the Highveld standard.
Steel & IBR carports »Aluminium carports
Rust-proof, powder-coated and light — the upmarket north's choice.
Aluminium carports »Cantilever carports

Cantilever carports »Shade net carports
Shadeports from R4,500 — the budget cover for UV and light hail.

Carports in the southern suburbs »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. 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?
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.
