Aesthetics
Carports can add additional parking space for your vehicles while also adding aesthetic value to your home. When selecting materials for a carport, durability and aesthetic appeal must both be ensured; options include timber, galvanised steel or Colorbond steel as popular choices – the latter often boasting lower maintenance requirements than its counterparts.

Durability
Colorbond is a great material choice when selecting materials for their new carport due to its durability. Maintenance costs are minimal with Colorbond, while its long-term investment value surpasses timber, which may quickly rot, warp or attract insects.
Security
Protect your vehicle from the harsh Australian sun and sudden showers with a carport. From antique to contemporary recreational vehicles, well-built steel carports provide essential shelter against intruders as well as debris such as branches.
Galvanised steel structures can withstand the elements better than timber structures, which may rot, twist and become vulnerable to termite infestation. Furthermore, galvanised steel comes with an extended warranty of 20 years.
Select from a range of sizes, colours and designs that best suit your home, such as adding a gable roof for aesthetic purposes and to increase value. When building your carport, it should also be within line of sight of your house to monitor who enters and exits – this should help deter thieves from any attempts at theft! You could even add gates or fences around its base for additional security measures.
Maintenance
Colorbond steel carports are highly resilient structures built to withstand the Australian climate without showing signs of wear and tear. Their surface also reflects most of the sun’s heat outside, helping reduce the temperature inside while saving on energy bills.
Colorbond carport roofing material is termite-proof, making it the safer option than timber when selecting carport materials for your carport. In addition, maintenance requirements are minimal compared with timber, which rots over time and becomes vulnerable to pest infestation such as spiders and wasps.
As with any structure, inspecting your carport regularly for signs of damage or deterioration is key to its long-term condition. By quickly addressing minor issues as soon as they arise, minor issues can often be avoided from becoming more serious problems over time – for instance; small holes allow rodents into your home while an imbalanced support beam could collapse and cause structural damage – keeping things clean and organised can keep costs down! Regularly using your garden hose to wash down your carport will also keep things looking their best.
Carports are practical, cost-effective alternatives to garages that can improve the aesthetics of your home while protecting your vehicles. They are available in a wide range of styles and materials, so you can choose a design that matches your home and suits your needs. Choosing the right material, construction method, roofing, lighting, and foundation will ensure your carport is durable and secure. Before you start planning a carport, it is important to consider the size of your driveway, how many cars you will be parking underneath it, and the look you want to achieve on your property.
