The first step in crafting the perfect carport is choosing the right location on your property. Consider factors like sun exposure, accessibility, and local regulations to ensure the ideal placement.
A carport positioned against the house will also create shade so it may be worthwhile adding a skylight to the roof design allowing some light back into window positions. Little things like this can make a big difference.
Determining the size and dimensions of your carport is crucial. It should comfortably accommodate your vehicles and provide extra space for storage or other purposes. If you drive a 4WD with a lift kit and roof racks a low style carport with a 2300mm clearance may not be enough. It can be important to future-proof the design by considering what you will be driving next year!
Carports come with a variety of roofing options, including flat roofs, gable roofs, and more. Explore the different roofing options to find the one that suits your property and climate. Aesthetic charm can be enhanced with the colour and roofing style. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to create a million-dollar look with SmartKits.

The colour and finish of your carport can significantly impact its visual appeal. Learn how to select the right colour scheme to complement your property's style. With 23 colours in our palette, we have a selection for every style of home.
Carports can be more than just vehicle shelters. Discover ideas for adding storage space, such as shelves, cabinets, or designated areas for tools and equipment. We enclosed the end of a carport for a client and created a functional 6 x 2 metre enclosed end that is great for storage. Adding extra height can allow for storage above your vehicle as well.
Enhance the aesthetics of your carport by incorporating design elements like decorative trims, architectural details, and landscaping.
Colour, light and style give you many options in your SmartKits carport. Falling the roof back towards the house if the block slopes away can also make a visual impact as well as a design impact.
Explore the various ways you can use your carport beyond vehicle storage, such as creating an outdoor lounge, a workspace, or a recreational area. One of the single most expensive items you can purchase is a vehicle, boat or caravan. Protecting these assets is a great starting point for a Carport but we know that great value is also added to our houses when we add a stylish and attractive carport.
