Shadeports in Pietermaritzburg

Affordable shade net carports for homes and businesses. Loads of colour options on galvanised or powder-coated steel frames.

Affordable Shade Net Carports

Shadeports are the cheapest way to protect your car from KZN’s sun. Quality UV shade cloth pulled tight over a steel frame gives you solid sun and hail protection without the price of a full roof carport.

Our shade cloth blocks 80-90% of UV, so your car stays cooler and your dashboard, seats and paint don’t take a hammering. Our shade cloth is sourced from leading SA manufacturers and comes with a UV stabilisation warranty. Learn more about UV protection at the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA).

Shadeport vs Solid Carport

Shadeport FAQ

How long does shade cloth last?
Quality UV-stabilised shade cloth typically lasts 8-12 years before needing replacement. The steel frame structure will last much longer — 15-20+ years with proper maintenance.
Do shadeports protect against hail?
Shade cloth offers limited protection against light hail by absorbing some impact energy. For full hail protection in hail-prone areas of the KZN Midlands, a solid roof steel carport is recommended.
Can shade cloth be replaced without replacing the frame?
Yes. The shade cloth is attached to the frame with cable and clips, making it straightforward to replace when it eventually wears out. This makes shadeports very cost-effective long-term.
