Carport price list by size — Johannesburg 2026
These are typical supplied-and-installed bands for a galvanised steel frame with IBR roof sheeting on a standard, accessible Johannesburg site. Sloped stands, face-brick attachment and premium sheeting move a quote toward the top of each band.

|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 3m × 6m | 1 car or bakkie | R6,500 – R14,000 |
| Double | 6m × 6m | 2 cars side by side | R12,500 – R24,000 |
| Double (tandem) | 3m × 12m | 2 cars in line on a driveway | R13,000 – R25,000 |
| Triple | 9m × 6m | 3 cars, or a boat/trailer bay | R19,000 – R38,000 |
| Four-bay | 12m × 6m | 4 vehicles / plot setup | R27,000 – R52,000 |

What changes the price
Four things move a car port price in Johannesburg: the footprint, the roof material, the footing type and the site access. Everything else is detail.
Five things move a Johannesburg carport quote inside its band. Roof sheeting is the biggest: hail-rated IBR or Q-deck costs more than a flat polycarbonate or a shade net, and it is the part that actually stops hail damage. The others are the steel gauge, the roof style, the height (double-volume for a bakkie or 4x4 costs more), and the ground — a bolt-down onto existing paving is cheaper than digging and casting new footings on a sloped stand.
- Roof sheeting — IBR/Q-deck steel > polycarbonate > shade net carport, priced in that order.
- Frame — steel carport is standard; aluminium carport and wooden carport cost more.
- Style — a cantilever carport (no front posts) carries a premium over a standard flat or pitched roof.
- Size — work the maths in the carport sizes guide before you compare quotes.
Carport kits at Cashbuild, Makro and Builders vs supplied and installed
A retailer carport kit and an installed carport are different purchases, and the shelf price is not the comparison people think it is. A kit is supply-only: the steel and sheeting arrive flat-packed and everything after that is yours.
| Included | Retail kit (supply only) | KB Carports (supplied & installed) |
|---|---|---|
| Frame and roof sheeting | Yes | Yes |
| Delivery to the stand | Usually extra | Included |
| On-site measure before cutting | No — fixed kit sizes only | Free, and the frame is cut to it |
| Concrete footings or bolt-down base | No | Included |
| Labour and erection | No | Included |
| Council or estate drawings | No | Supplied with the job |
| Workmanship cover | No | Yes |
A kit suits a level stand, standard dimensions and someone willing to mix concrete and work at height. It does not suit a sloping driveway, an estate with a design code, or a stand where the paving may not be cut into — which covers most of Johannesburg. The bands on this page are the installed price, with nothing to add afterwards.
Shade net and aluminium price bands
| Type | Single | Double |
|---|---|---|
| Shade net (shadeport) | R4,500 – R9,000 | R8,000 – R16,000 |
| Steel + IBR | R6,500 – R14,000 | R12,500 – R24,000 |
| Aluminium | R12,000 – R22,000 | R22,000 – R40,000 |
| Wooden / timber | R14,000 – R26,000 | R26,000 – R48,000 |

Common questions
How much is a double carport in Johannesburg?
A double carport in Johannesburg costs R12,500–R24,000 supplied and installed in galvanised steel with IBR roofing. A tandem double (two cars in line, 3m × 12m) runs R13,000–R25,000, and an aluminium double R22,000–R40,000.
Is a shade net carport cheaper than a steel one?
Yes. A single shade net carport in Johannesburg starts at about R4,500 against R6,500 for a single steel-and-IBR carport. The trade-off is protection: shade net cuts UV and small hail but does not stop the large hailstones the Highveld gets.
Does the carport price include installation?
Yes. Every KB Carports Johannesburg price band is supplied and installed — it covers the steel, the roof sheeting, the footings and the fitting. The on-site measure and the quote are free.
Why do carport quotes vary so much?
Roof sheeting and the ground drive the range. Hail-rated IBR steel costs more than polycarbonate or shade net, and casting new footings on a sloped stand costs more than bolting onto existing paving. Height for a bakkie or 4x4 also lifts the price.
