Steel Carports in Pietermaritzburg
Galvanised steel carports that keep your vehicles safe from KZN sun, hail and rain. Built to your specs with a full workmanship warranty.
Why Choose a Steel Carport?
If you’re looking for a carport that’ll last, steel is the way to go. It’s the most common choice we see across PMB and the Midlands — tough, reliable, and it adds real value to your property.
We only use quality galvanised steel that’s properly treated against rust — you need that in KZN’s humidity. All our structures are built to SABS standards.
Our Steel Carport Options
- Single Carports — Perfect for one vehicle. Standard sizes from 3m x 6m. Ideal for driveways and compact spaces.
- Double Carports — Cover two vehicles side by side. Standard 6m x 6m or custom widths to suit your property.
- Triple Carports — For larger families or commercial use. Custom-built to your exact dimensions.
- Attached Carports — Connected directly to your home or building so it looks like it was always part of the house.
- Freestanding Carports — Independent structures positioned anywhere on your property.
Roofing Materials
We offer two primary roofing options for steel carports:
- Chromadek Sheeting — Pre-painted, corrosion-resistant steel sheeting available in a range of colours. The most popular choice for residential carports due to its durability and clean appearance.
- IBR (Inverted Box Rib) Sheeting — Industrial-strength profiled sheeting that handles heavy rain and gives you solid water runoff. Commonly used for larger and commercial installations.
Both come treated against rust and are available in a range of colours to match your place. For more on roofing material specifications, visit the Safal Steel product range.
Steel Frame Construction
All our frames use galvanised mild steel poles and beams. The galvanisation process applies a protective zinc coating that prevents rust — a critical consideration in Pietermaritzburg’s warm, humid climate. Columns are concreted into the ground to ensure structural stability, and all joints are professionally welded by qualified welders.
For properties in areas prone to strong winds, such as the Hilton escarpment, we can engineer additional bracing to meet local wind-loading requirements. The Msunduzi Municipality may require building plan approval for larger structures — we can assist with this process.
