How to Choose the Right Carport
Before buying a carport kitset, consider the size of your vehicle, driveway dimensions, post positions, ground conditions and required roof clearance. A single carport may be suitable for one vehicle, while a double carport provides additional sheltered space for two vehicles.
It is also important to consider local wind conditions, foundation requirements, drainage and any applicable building consent or planning rules. Check the specifications of your preferred carport before placing an order.

Frequently Asked Questions About Carports
What is a carport?
A carport is a roofed structure designed to shelter vehicles from sun, rain and other weather conditions. Unlike a fully enclosed garage, a carport generally has open sides for easier access and ventilation.
What is the difference between a single and double carport?
A single carport is designed for one vehicle, while a double carport provides covered space for two. The right size depends on your vehicle dimensions, parking layout and available space.
What is a cantilever carport?
A cantilever carport uses a structural design in which the roof extends outward from its supporting framework. Depending on the model, this can provide a more open parking layout with fewer obstructions along particular sides.
Are aluminium carports suitable for New Zealand weather?
Aluminium carports with suitable roofing can provide effective everyday shelter from sun and rain. However, suitability for a particular property depends on wind exposure, structural specifications, foundations and installation conditions.
Can I install a carport kitset myself?
Some carport kitsets may be suitable for customers arranging their own installation. Correct assembly, anchoring and foundation preparation are essential. Professional installation is recommended where site conditions or structural requirements call for specialist work.
Do carports need building consent in NZ?
Some carports may qualify for building consent exemptions under New Zealand regulations, depending on their dimensions, design and other conditions. Local planning rules may still apply, so check with your council before construction.
How much does a carport cost in NZ?
Carport prices vary depending on size, design, materials and installation requirements. Living Space offers single and double carport kitsets at different price points. Check the products above for current kitset prices and confirm delivery or installation charges separately.
