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.
| Carport | Size | Price band (installed) |
|---|---|---|
| Single | 3m × 6m | R6,500 – R14,000 |
| Double | 6m × 6m | R12,500 – R24,000 |
| Double (tandem) | 3m × 12m | R13,000 – R25,000 |
| Triple | 9m × 6m | R19,000 – R38,000 |
| Four-bay | 12m × 6m | R27,000 – R52,000 |

What changes the price
Five things move a 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
Will my quote match the price band?
Yes, in most cases. The bands above are supplied-and-installed figures for a standard spec. Where a quote lands outside one it is down to the five factors above — sea proximity, ground conditions, span, roof sheeting and access. The on-site measure and the written quote are free, so the exact figure costs nothing to get.
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 lifts the price.
