Carport prices by design
Pronet offers shade-net, steel, cantilever, wall-mounted, single, double and multi-bay carports across Gauteng. The ranges below combine pricing published in Pronet’s current carport guides.
Shadenet Carports
Single-car budget range. Standard 80% UV-block shade net sits at the lower end, while premium or waterproof cloth costs more.
- Wall-mounted or freestanding
- Single and double sizes
- 8-year manufacturer warranty on shade netting
Steel Carports
From a single IBR-roof carport to a custom triple-bay steel structure with upgraded finishes.
- IBR and Chromadek roofing
- Fuller rain and hail cover
- Custom spans available
Shadeport Carports
Typical Gauteng range for standard single structures through to premium double shadeport installations.
- Steel frame and tensioned cloth
- Several post configurations

Cantilever Carports
Cantilever designs use one-sided support and heavier engineered beams. They commonly cost 18%–28% more than comparable four-post structures.
- Fewer posts around vehicles

Wall-Mounted Carports
Budget range across shade-net and solid-roof wall-mounted structures. The fixing wall must be structurally suitable.

- Custom shapes and coverage
- Ideal for patios, pools and selected parking areas
- Free site assessment required
Single Carports
A broad one-vehicle range covering entry-level shade net through to premium Chromadek or polycarbonate installations.
- Usually 3m × 5m or 3m × 6m

- Custom clearance for bakkies and SUVs
Multi-Bay Carports
Published starting ranges for triple-bay shade net and steel designs. Large fleet, school, estate and commercial parking is quoted per project.

What changes the final quotation?
Size and number of bays
More covered area requires additional steel, roofing or shade cloth, foundations and labour.
Roof or cover material
Shade net is generally the lowest-cost option. IBR, Chromadek and premium materials increase the total.
Post configuration
Wall-mounted and standard four-post designs differ from cantilever structures that need heavier load-bearing members.
Ground and access
Rock, clay, paving, restricted access, drainage and deeper footings can affect installation costs.
What is included?
Pricing is presented as a supply-and-install budget. A free site assessment confirms the exact dimensions, fixing method, fabrication, delivery and installation requirements.
Carport price questions
Are these fixed prices?
No. They are budget estimates collected from Pronet’s published price guides. The written quotation follows a free site assessment.
Does the estimate include installation?
The listed benchmarks are supply-and-install estimates unless stated otherwise. Confirm every inclusion on the final written quotation.
Which option is usually cheapest?
A basic wall-mounted shade-net carport normally has the lowest starting cost because it uses fewer posts and a lower-cost covering.
Which carport offers better hail and rain cover?
A correctly specified solid IBR or Chromadek roof provides fuller weather cover than standard shade netting.
