- Galvanised steel frame
Double Steel Carport
A 6m x 6m structure covering two vehicles side by side, our most requested configuration for Sandton family homes.

Cantilever Carport
Roof support is fixed to a single row of posts along one side, leaving the parking area free of centre or front posts.
- No obstruction to vehicle doors
- Suits narrow driveways and gated entrances
- Popular for estate and boomed-off properties
Why Pronet
Steel Carport Installation, Handled Directly by the Manufacturer
Pronet Shadeports & Carports Gauteng has manufactured and installed steel carports and shadeports since 1989. Structures for Sandton properties are fabricated at our facility and fitted by our own teams, so the same business that builds the frame stands behind the workmanship guarantee.
Before installing on an existing paved driveway, our team checks the paving thickness, existing services beneath the surface and the gate or garage clearance needed for post placement. On virgin ground, concrete footings are poured to suit the span and roof load of the specific design.

Regulations
Do You Need Building Plans for a Carport in Sandton?
Sandton falls under the City of Johannesburg municipality. Under the Minor Building Works provisions of SANS 10400, an open-sided carport up to 40m² generally does not require full building plan approval, though this depends on the structure’s position relative to boundaries and whether it is attached to an existing dwelling.
Attached carports (fixed to the main dwelling) and freestanding carports are often treated differently under minor works provisions. Boundary proximity and any existing servitudes on the property are also assessed as part of this process.
Comparison
Steel Carport vs Shadeport, Which Suits Sandton Properties?
| Type | Best For | Main Benefit | Site Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steel Carport | Full weather and hail protection | Solid IBR/Chromadek roof, long lifespan | Post footings or cantilever beam |
| Shadeport | Sun and light rain cover | Lower cost, lighter structure | Post footings, tensioned shade net |
For year-round hail protection a solid steel roof is the stronger choice. Where budget or a lighter structure is the priority, a shadeport remains an effective option, our team can advise which suits your driveway during a site visit.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a carport cost in Sandton?
General Gauteng market prices range from around R9,000 for a single steel carport to R27,000–R38,000 for a double cantilever steel carport, depending on size, roof material and site conditions. These are market guide figures, not a Pronet quote. Request a site assessment for a firm price on your property.
What size carport do I need for two cars?
A standard double carport measures 6m x 6m, which comfortably fits two sedans or bakkies side by side. For extra door clearance a 6m x 7m spacious double option is also available.
Can a carport attach to my existing house in Sandton?
Yes, attached carports are a common configuration where the roofline connects to the existing dwelling. This affects how the structure is assessed under municipal minor works provisions, so it is confirmed during the site visit.
Do I need building plans for a carport in Sandton?
An open-sided carport up to 40m² generally falls under the Minor Building Works exemption in SANS 10400, and Sandton falls under the City of Johannesburg for approval purposes. Estate or body corporate rules take precedence where applicable, so confirm your specific property before installation.
What is the difference between a steel carport and a shadeport?
A steel carport uses a solid IBR or Chromadek roof for full weather protection, while a shadeport uses tensioned shade net for sun protection and light rain shedding. Steel carports generally suit hail-prone areas better.
Does a cantilever carport cost more than a standard carport?
Cantilever carports typically use a heavier beam section to support the roof from a single row of posts, so they are usually priced above an equivalent post-supported design. The exact difference depends on span and site conditions.
