Carport price list by size — Durban 2026
These are typical supplied-and-installed bands for a hot-dip galvanised steel frame with an IBR roof on a standard, accessible Durban stand. A sea-facing site, heavier marine-grade galvanising and premium sheeting move a quote toward the top of each band.

|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 3m × 6m | 1 car or bakkie | R6,500 – R14,000 |
| Double | 6m × 6m | 2 cars side by side | R12,500 – R24,000 |
| Double (tandem) | 3m × 12m | 2 cars in line on a driveway | R13,000 – R25,000 |
| Triple | 9m × 6m | 3 cars, or a boat/trailer bay | R19,000 – R38,000 |
| Four-bay | 12m × 6m | 4 vehicles / large stand | R27,000 – R52,000 |

What changes the price
Five things move a Durban carport quote inside its band. Proximity to the sea is the one unique to the coast: a sea-facing stand at Umhlanga or Umdloti needs heavier marine-grade galvanising or an aluminium frame, and wind-rated footings, which lift the price against an inland stand of the same size. The others are the frame material, the roof sheeting, the height (double-volume for a bakkie or 4x4 costs more), and the ground — a bolt-down onto existing paving is cheaper than digging and casting new footings.
- Frame & corrosion protection — aluminium and marine-grade galvanised steel cost more than a light inland spec, and last far longer near the sea.
- Roof sheeting — IBR steel keeps the rain off fully; a shade net only shades and is the budget end.
- Style — a cantilever (no front posts) carries a premium over a standard flat or pitched roof.
- Size — work the maths in the carport sizes guide before you compare quotes.

Common questions
How much is a double carport in Durban?
A double carport in Durban costs R12,500–R24,000 supplied and installed in hot-dip galvanised steel with IBR roofing. A tandem double (two cars in line, 3m × 12m) runs R13,000–R25,000, and an aluminium double R22,000–R40,000.
Why does aluminium cost more than steel in Durban?
An aluminium carport in Durban costs roughly one and a half times a steel one — a single from about R12,000 against R6,500 — because aluminium never rusts. On a sea-facing coastal stand many owners pay the premium precisely because it removes the salt-air corrosion risk entirely.
Does the carport price include installation?
Yes. Every KB Carports Durban price band is supplied and installed — it covers the frame, the roof sheeting, the footings and the fitting. The on-site measure and the quote are free.
Why do carport quotes vary so much on the coast?
The frame spec and the ground drive the range. A marine-grade galvanised or aluminium frame for a sea-facing stand costs more than a light inland spec, and casting wind-rated footings costs more than bolting onto existing paving. Height for a bakkie or 4x4 also lifts the price.
