Elite Canopies
The 6063-T6 aluminium frame and polycarbonate roof suit carports, rated to 160 km/h winds and 50 cm of snow, with a 10-year structural warranty.
Ideas
Carports and vehicle shelters
A carport is the simplest way to keep a car out of the rain and frost, and to stop the summer sun baking the dashboard. Built on the same aluminium frame as our canopies, it can also double as a covered entertaining space.
What works best
Metal Pergola
Where you want a fully opaque roof over a vehicle or boat, a corrugated metal roof on a steel frame gives complete shade.
Things to plan for
- Consent: carports have their own exemption conditions under Schedule 1 of the Building Act - check the size and design rules before you commit.
- Height: measure the tallest vehicle, roof racks included, and allow for the roof's fall.
- Drainage: plan where roof water goes so it doesn't run across the driveway.
