Randburg stands and what fits them
Randburg splits two ways. The established suburbs — Ferndale, Blairgowrie, Linden, Victory Park — are freehold with soil verges, so footings are cast and a double or tandem sits comfortably. The newer complex developments around Bordeaux, Fontainebleau and Windsor are tighter, and the bolt-down base and a cantilever front become the sensible answer.
| Structure | Footprint | Price band | Typical Randburg stand |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single carport | 3m × 6m | R6,500–R14,000 | Cottage and garden-flat frontage |
| Double carport | 6m × 6m | R12,500–R24,000 | Freehold Ferndale and Linden homes |
| Tandem double | 3m × 12m | R13,000–R25,000 | Narrow complex driveways |
| Shade net carport | 3m × 6m | R4,500–R9,000 | Second car, UV cover only |
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.

Older roofs, older carports
Randburg has a lot of thirty- and forty-year-old housing stock, and with it a lot of first-generation painted-steel carports that are now rusting through at the joints. Where the frame is sound only the sheeting is replaced; where the steel has gone at the base plates a new galvanised structure is the better spend. That judgement call is set out on the carport repairs page, and the same visit can quote window and patio awnings if the north-facing rooms need shading too.
Getting a Randburg carport quoted
Send the stand and what you park; the measure confirms the fall, the footing type and whether the verge takes a cast foundation. Randburg’s exposed western aspect gets the full afternoon storm, so the specification here leans on galvanised steel carport and a double carport footprint. Every size and material is listed under carports in Johannesburg.
Common questions
Do you install carports in Randburg and Ferndale?
Yes. KB Carports installs across Randburg, Ferndale, Blairgowrie, Cresta, Northcliff, Linden, Fontainebleau and Windsor, on both freehold stands and complex driveways, with a free on-site measure.
What does a double carport cost in Randburg?
A 6m × 6m double carport in Randburg costs R12,500–R24,000 supplied and installed in galvanised steel with a hail-rated IBR roof. Aluminium runs roughly one and a half times that, and a tandem 3m × 12m for a narrow driveway is R13,000–R25,000.
Can you replace an old rusted carport in Randburg?
Yes. Where the frame is still sound only the roof sheeting is replaced; where the steel has corroded through at the base plates a new galvanised structure is quoted instead, because a rusted frame will not hold a hail-rated roof.
Do Randburg freehold stands need cast footings?
Usually yes. Most established Randburg stands have soil verges, so posts are set in cast concrete footings. Complex and townhouse driveways with existing paving take a bolt-down base plate instead, leaving the paving intact.
