Value carports for the south
The southern suburbs want coastal protection without the premium, and that is exactly what a hot-dip galvanised steel carports delivers — salt-resistant cover from R6,500 for a single and R12,500 for a double. On a stand right on the coast at Amanzimtoti or the Bluff, a rust-proof aluminium frame is the upgrade that never rusts; where budget is tighter or the cover is for a second car, a shadeport from R4,500 gives UV and heat protection for less.

Which carport costs least to run on the South Coast?
A hot-dip galvanised steel carport from R6,500 for a single is the lowest-priced frame on the South Coast that still resists salt air, at about half the cost of an aluminium equivalent. A shadeport from R4,500 is cheaper still where only shade is needed, and aluminium is the no-rust upgrade right on the coast.
