Galvanised Steel Carports, Engineered for Gauteng Weather
A carport is a roofed, open-sided structure that shelters a vehicle without four walls, freestanding or fixed to a wall on one side. Pronet has manufactured and installed galvanised steel carports since 1989, across nine design types and custom sizing.
Built by one company since 1989, not resold by a broker.
Established mid-1989
Pronet has manufactured and installed shade and carport structures across Gauteng for over three and a half decades.
Workmanship warranty
Every carport is backed by a 3-year warranty on the frame, cabling, stitching and the installation itself, not just the materials.
Insurance and engineer approved
Pronet's workmanship is approved by most insurance companies, architects and engineers, a standard most installers can't point to.
Design types, custom sized
IBR, flat roof, A-frame, cantilever, dome, attached, double, solar and Chromadek, each built to your driveway, not a catalogue size.
Nine carport designs, one galvanised steel standard.
Every design below starts with the same galvanised steel frame. What changes is the roof profile, the post layout and the roofing material, so pick the shape that suits your driveway or site.
IBR Steel Carports
Corrugated galvanised steel sheeting on a solid steel frame. The most impact-resistant roofing option Pronet installs, built for full Highveld sun and hail.

Flat Roof Carports
A single-plane roof for a clean, low-profile line. Suits contemporary homes and boundary walls where a pitched roof would sit too high.

Pitched A-Frame Carports
A twin-sloped roof that sheds rain and hail fastest of any design Pronet builds. A traditional profile that suits most suburban homes.

Cantilever Carports
Support posts on one side only, with no centre or front posts. Built for narrow driveways where parking around poles isn't an option.
View cantilever carports
Dome Carports
A curved, barrel-style roof profile that spreads wind and hail load evenly across the frame instead of concentrating it at a ridge.
View dome carports
Attached Carports
Fixed to an existing wall on one side, which removes two support posts and reduces the steel required without losing coverage.

Double Carports
Side-by-side bays for two vehicles under one roof, typically 6 m wide. Pronet's most requested residential configuration.

What does a carport cost in Gauteng?

Carport questions, answered directly.
What is the difference between a carport and a garage?
A carport is an open-sided roof structure, freestanding or fixed to a wall on one side, that shelters a vehicle without enclosing walls or a door. A garage is fully enclosed. Carports cost less to install, allow full ventilation and need less site work, though they offer less security than a walled garage.
What size carport do I need?
A single carport is typically 3m wide by 6m deep and covers one sedan or bakkie. A double carport is 6m by 6m for two vehicles side by side, and a triple runs to 9m by 6m. Longer wheelbase vehicles suit a 6m or 7m depth. See our sizes guide for the full standard range.
Which roofing material handles Gauteng hail best?
IBR galvanised steel sheeting is the most impact-resistant roofing option Pronet installs, followed by Chromadek colour-coated steel. Polycarbonate and shade cloth let more light through but offer less impact resistance in a serious hailstorm. Compare all three in our IBR vs Chromadek vs polycarbonate guide.
Can a carport be attached to my house or boundary wall?
Yes. An attached carport fixes to an existing wall on one side, which removes two support posts and reduces the frame required. The wall needs to be in sound structural condition, with proper flashing where the roof meets it to keep water out. See our attached carports page for the specifics.
Do I need council or estate approval for a carport in Gauteng?
This depends on your municipality, the size of the structure, and whether you're in a body corporate or homeowners' association. Requirements vary by council and by estate, so check with your local authority or estate management before installing. Pronet can supply structural drawings for submission where these are required.
What warranty does Pronet offer on a carport?
Pronet backs every carport with a 3-year warranty on the frame, cabling, stitching and workmanship. Where shade cloth roofing is fitted, the UV-stabilised cloth itself carries an 8-year warranty with a 10 to 12 year expected lifespan. Pronet's workmanship is approved by most insurance companies, architects and engineers.
