Carports in Johannesburg South

Sloping stands and stepped structures

South of the CBD the ground rises into the Mondeor and Winchester Hills ridge, and level driveways are the exception rather than the rule. On a sloped stand the posts are cut to different lengths so the roof stays true, the fall is set to shed water away from the house rather than into the garage door, and the footing on the downhill side goes deeper. None of that adds much to the price, but it has to be measured rather than assumed.

All bands are supplied and installed. Exact figures come from the free on-site measure — see carport prices in Johannesburg for every size and material.

Suburbs covered in the south

The southern ridge sits east of Soweto and Lenasia. Suburbs covered: Mondeor, Glenvista, Glenanda, Alberante, Winchester Hills, Southgate, Rosettenville, Turffontein, Kibler Park, Bassonia, Oakdene, Suideroord and Linmeyer. Carports in Soweto and Lenasia are covered on their own page. A search for a carport installer near me anywhere on the southern ridge lands here, and the measure is free.

Older homes, sun on the west

Much of the southern suburbs is settled 1960s and 1970s housing with large west-facing windows that take the full afternoon sun. Homeowners who fit a carport here very often want the west elevation shaded at the same time, which is a window or patio awning rather than a second carport, from R1,200 for a window awning. Where the back of the house needs covered outdoor space, a patio or pergola is quoted alongside.

Getting a southern-suburbs carport quoted

Send the stand address and a photo of the driveway if it slopes — that saves a visit. The measure confirms post lengths, fall and footing depth. The entry structure is the single carport and the family standard is the double carport; storm and hail damage on older structures is covered under carport repairs. The whole range sits under carports in Johannesburg.
