Typically, this is a council decision, so it’s always safe to assume that you need council approval for a carport. There are some exemptions to this rule in South Australia, but it’s always best to check with your local council. They will advise of any specific boundary limitations in your area. In addition, even if there are no specific rules about how close to the boundary you can build, the proximity to a fence or existing structure may affect the height that your carport is allowed to be.
There is no fixed price for the price of carports in Adelaide because each one is different. Aldinga Home Improvements specialises in custom carports to suit your specific needs. While you may be able to buy carport kits online, they are rarely the perfect fit for your home. Following our initial assessment of your property, we’ll provide a clear and transparent quote.
There are numerous benefits to installing a carport in Adelaide. Firstly, they protect your vehicle from the elements, particularly Adelaide’s harsh sun. You also get coverage from rain, sleet, hail and anything else that might damage your car. You might also use it to house a caravan or other type of vehicle.
Carports also allow you to install extra lights or security cameras, offering more theft protection than normal off-street parking. You can even use a carport as an outdoor area when the weather turns bad.
Open carports are still structures, and therefore, they usually require council approval. The Residential Code in South Australia states that carports only require building approval, rather than planning consent and assessment. So, while a permit is likely to be still required, the process is quicker than normal. If you have any concerns about planning approval, your first phone call should be to Aldinga Home Improvements or your local council.
Typically, the minimum size for a single carport is 2.4m wide, while a double is 4.8m wide. A single or double carport must be at least 5.4m long. However, if any of the sides are enclosed, this changes the dimensions. You must add .3m of width for each enclosed side.
You definitely can. At Aldinga Home Improvements, we specialise in custom designs, making us your first choice for all your carport needs. Rather than settle for a cookie-cutter, out-of-the-packet solution, you can get so much more from your carport by customising it.
Whether you need enclosed sides, certain roof pitches, or you need to work with existing structures, a custom carport is always going to be more functional than a standard size and shape. Our team of experts can work with you on a design that suits your needs perfectly.
The length of time to install a carport in Adelaide can vary depending on the scope of your project. Bear in mind that there is a planning stage, the time required to seek building approval, and then the time to construct your carport. As such, timeframes can vary. With that being said, however, we can give you a much more accurate timeframe when we provide your initial quote.
As mentioned above, a single carport must be at least 2.4m wide and 5.4m in length. Of course, this is just a minimum size, and carports can be much larger if required. Ultimately, it all depends on your individual needs and whether you can obtain building approval for a larger structure.
