Our roofs are covered with 0.5 mm thick IBR sheeting. It’s strong and keeps water out, perfect for Cape Town’s rains. We also have aluminium carports for those who want something lighter but still strong.
We let you pick your roof type. Choose from coloured or transparent sheeting to fit your home’s look or let in sunlight.
| Material | Pros | Cons | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steel | Durable, Weather-resistant | Higher cost, Requires rust prevention | 25+ years |
| Aluminium | Lightweight, Corrosion-resistant | Less robust than steel | 25+ years |
| IBR Roof Sheeting | Strong, Water-resistant | Limited colour options | Varies |
Whether you want steel carports for strength or aluminium for easy care, we’ve got you covered. Our team is here to help you choose the right material for your needs and budget.
The Benefits of Installing a Carport
Carports are great for homeowners in Cape Town. They protect your vehicles and increase your property’s value. Let’s look at why carports are a smart choice.

Carports keep your vehicles safe from the weather. In Cape Town, they shield cars, boats, and more from the sun, rain, and other harsh conditions. This means your vehicles last longer.
