Carport price list by size — Johannesburg 2026

What changes the price
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, priced in that order.
- Frame — galvanised steel is standard; aluminium and timber cost more.
- Style — a cantilever (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.

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.
