Steel Carport Designs for Kempton Park Properties

A steel carport is an open-sided, solid-roof structure. The frame is galvanised steel. IBR or Chromadek sheeting is fixed across the top.

Pronet Shadeports & Carports Gauteng builds carports across Kempton Park, Birchleigh and Norkem Park to suit sedans, bakkies, SUVs and multi-vehicle households. Every frame is hot-dip galvanised before the roof sheets go on.

Chromadek sheeting carries a factory colour coat over the galvanised base. Plain IBR gives a lower-cost silver finish, with the same profile and hail resistance.

Single and Double Steel Carports

A single carport suits one vehicle. It is typically built at 3m x 6m, wide enough for a sedan or bakkie with room to open both doors.

A double carport at 6m x 6m covers two vehicles parked side by side. This is the most requested size for driveways in Glen Marais and Norkem Park, where dual parking bays are common.

Larger households sometimes step up. A 6m x 7m double carport suits SUVs or bakkies with canopies. A 9m x 6m triple carport covers three vehicles, popular on the bigger stands around Rhodesfield and Bonaero Park.

Cantilever Carports for Narrow Driveways

A cantilever carport is engineered so the roof is supported entirely from one side. No centre poles stand in the driveway.

This suits properties with narrow access or automated sliding gates, common in the older streets of Van Riebeeck Park and Terenure. It also suits any driveway that needs to stay clear for a second vehicle to pass.

The trade-off is a heavier steel frame on the support side, built to carry the full cantilevered load. Cantilever designs are quoted individually rather than off a standard price list.

Carport Prices in Kempton Park

Carport prices are set by size, roof sheeting choice, and design. A single, double or cantilever structure of the same footprint will each price differently.

A single carport with plain IBR sheeting costs less than the same footprint in Chromadek. A cantilever design costs more than a standard pole structure of the same size, because of the extra steel needed to carry the roof without centre support.

This holds across Kempton Park, Aston Manor and Edleen alike, where site access and stand size shift the final figure more than the suburb itself. For a full breakdown by size and sheeting type, the current carport prices across Gauteng page sets out the standard price tiers, confirmed after a site visit.

Steel Carport or Shadeport: Which Suits a Kempton Park Property

A carport, by definition, is an open-sided structure for sheltering a vehicle. That definition covers both the solid-roof steel carports built across Kempton Park and the shade net versions known locally as shadeports.

A solid IBR or Chromadek roof sheds rain and hail completely. It suits vehicles parked outdoors most of the day.

Shade net lets air move freely underneath. This keeps a parked vehicle cooler in summer, though it does not stop rain.

Pronet Shadeports & Carports Gauteng backs every shade net structure with an 8-year shade net warranty, separate to the 3-year workmanship guarantee on the steel frame. For a closer look at how the two compare, the shadeport installations across Johannesburg page sets out the airflow and coverage trade-offs in more detail.

Cantilever Carports Around Kempton Park’s Suburbs

Kempton Park was established in 1903. It sits on the East Rand between Johannesburg and Pretoria, built around what is now OR Tambo International Airport, the busiest airport in Africa.

Properties near Birchleigh, Glen Marais and Norkem Park tend to have wider stands, with room for a standard pole carport. Homes closer to Rhodesfield, Bonaero Park, Van Riebeeck Park and Terenure often need the cantilever design instead, to keep a narrow driveway usable.

Further out, Allen Grove, Nimrod Park, Spartan and Croydon add their own mix of older and newer stands, each installed to the same standard. Kempton Park’s shopping centres around East Rand Mall and the entertainment precinct at Emperor’s Palace both fall within the standard installation area.

For coverage across the wider region, the carport installer service across the East Rand page sets out how Kempton Park fits alongside Boksburg, Benoni, Germiston, Brakpan and Springs.

Pronet Shadeports & Carports Gauteng also installs carports in Boksburg and Benoni. A dedicated cantilever carport installation service in Pretoria covers households further north facing the same driveway access constraints.

Chromadek Colours and Roof Sheeting Options

Chromadek sheeting for a Kempton Park carport is available in eight standard factory colours. The roof can be matched to the house, or left neutral against a Chromadek gutter and fascia.

Plain IBR remains available too, for households in Esther Park, Kempton Park West and elsewhere that prefer the lower-cost silver finish. It carries the same rib profile and load rating as the coloured sheeting.
