Carports vs Other Outdoor Structures
Carports are purpose-built to protect your vehicles from Melbourne's weather-harsh sun, rain, and hail damage. Unlike garages which are fully enclosed with walls and doors, carports are open-sided for easy access and ventilation. They're more affordable than garages and faster to install. Many Melbourne homeowners choose carports to add value while protecting vehicles without the cost of a full garage extension.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a carport cost in Melbourne?
Carport costs in Melbourne vary based on size, style, and configuration. A basic single carport starts from around $3,500-$6,000, while double carports range from $6,000-$15,000+. We provide free, detailed quotes for your specific project.
What affects the cost of building a carport?
Key factors affecting carport cost include: single vs double size, roof style (flat vs gable vs skillion), attached vs freestanding design, height and engineering requirements, site access, groundworks needed, council permit requirements, and Colorbond colour choice. We explain all costs upfront.
Do I need a permit for a carport in Melbourne?
Yes, most carports require a building permit in Victoria. As experienced carport builders, we handle all council permits and approvals as part of our service - you won't need to deal with any paperwork.
What is the difference between a carport and a garage?
A carport is an open-sided covered structure providing weather protection, while a garage is fully enclosed with walls and a door. Carports are typically more affordable (50-70% less), quicker to install, and still provide excellent protection from sun, rain, and hail.
Can a carport be attached to my house?
Absolutely! Attached carports are a popular choice as they provide covered access between your car and home. We engineer attached carports to integrate seamlessly with your existing structure and roofline.
Carport vs garage - which is better value?
Carports offer excellent value for vehicle protection at 50-70% less than a garage. They're faster to build (days vs weeks), require less council red tape, and still protect from sun damage, hail, and rain. Garages offer security and enclosed storage. Your choice depends on budget and whether you need lockable space.
