Carports in Perth
Attached carports
Attached carports tie directly into your existing home structure. One side of the roof pitches off your existing wall or eaves, eliminating the need for posts and a beam on that side. The most cost-effective way to add covered parking because you're using existing structure as half of the new build.

Attached carports in Perth
Carports that share a roofline with your home
Attached carports tie into the existing home structure. One side of the roof attaches to the home wall or roof. The other sits on posts.
The most common configuration we build because it saves cost on a wall of posts and reads as part of the home rather than a separate structure.

Quoted at site measureLED downlights

Quoted with switch + cable specWeatherproof outlet
Outdoor-rated GPO on a structural post for trickle charging, EV power or workshop use. Cabled back to your meter board.
Quoted with cable run lengthSide wall
