Product overview

This free-standing, cantilevered carport is a stunning addition to any property.

With its floating design and sleek dark grey finish, it’s the perfect combination of form and function in a carport.

A top quality, high intensity alloy frame is powder coated for durability and results in an exceptionally strong structure. Backed by a 5 Year Limited Warranty, you know it’s designed to handle New Zealand conditions.

The solid polycarbonate roofing panels feature a dark grey tint and an anti-UV coating that blocks 98% of harmful UV rays, essential for protecting exposed skin and car paint finishes. Highly impact resistant, the panels are approximately 200 times stronger than glass of the same thickness and feature excellent insulating properties, creating a cool shady area on those hot Kiwi summer days.

The cantilever design is great for areas with minimal room for anchoring, making these structures extremely versatile. As well as a carport, it’s perfect for patio areas, next to the pool, over the deck or for making your barbecue area an all-weather, year round outdoor kitchen.

Installation should be in a sheltered location and we recommend using concrete footings, especially in windy areas. Concrete footings should measure W 50cm x D 50cm x H 60cm.

A stylish and versatile addition to any home, transform your driveway or outdoor entertainment area by ordering yours today.

Customer questions

Questions and answers

0 votes

q: Can this be installed on a sloping driveway?

a: Yes within reason.

By Trade Tested on December 2, 2019

0 votes

q: Can the spouting drain pipe be positioned on either end?

a: The hole is pre-cut, however it would be simple enough to block the existing hole and re-drill at the other end.

By Trade Tested on November 25, 2019

0 votes

q: Hi, are they made in larger sizes? For instance - to cover a 7.5mtr Motorhome that is 3 mtrs high?

a: We only have the 1 size at this stage, however you could install 2 end to end for length, the height would be trickier to achieve, however it would be doable - potentially by creating raised footings with breeze block and filling with concrete and rebar. We would recommend talking to a specialist if you were looking at this. If you would like to investigate further, feel free to give our sales team a call.

q: I live in Canterbury and it can get pretty windy. If dyna bolted to an existing concrete pad will it be ok?

a: These are designed for sheltered residential areas, not known high-wind zones. They are sturdy, however we recommend using the concrete footings specified as the strongest installation method.

By Trade Tested on October 3, 2019

0 votes

q: Can you fit spouting and downpipes to these for drainage?

a: This actually already has them! If you check out some of the customer review photos you can see it.

q: Do they come in white or silver?

a: Just the one colour at this stage.

By Trade Tested on May 17, 2019

1 vote

q: Do the carports have a snow loading rating?

a: As per the specifications, the vertical load rating is 600N/m² to 1500N/m² depending on fixing method used (we recommend concrete footings).

By Trade Tested on February 19, 2019

0 votes

q: Are there side panels available to fit the cantilevered carport?

a: No that's not an option that we have, however you could probably rig up a solution fairly easily.

By Trade Tested on July 2, 2019

0 votes

q: Can the side of roof with no poles be mounted to existing garage?

a: Anything is possible with the right skills, just bear in mind that the guttering is integrated into this beam, so you'll need to account for that when designing your mounting system.

By Trade Tested on April 8, 2019

0 votes

q: Can you adjust the height of the poles if using the bolt direct footing or is it then 3 M tall?

a: You would need to cut the posts to size if you were using this fixing method and wanted the height to be less than 3m.

By Trade Tested on January 21, 2019

0 votes

q: What is the distance between posts? Can it be shortened?

a: The posts are designed to be installed at a set width (3500mm). The design could potentially be modified, however this is not covered in the manual so the end result would be down to the skill and knowledge of the installer. Modifications would not be covered by our warranty.

q: Can the post be anchored directly on to concrete with dyna bolts?

a: Yes it can be, take a look at our base plate kit under 'Frequently Bought Together' above.

q: What is the difference in height from the short side to the heigh side?

a: Approximately 0.45m, as there is some adjustment built in.

By Trade Tested on December 16, 2018

0 votes

q: I live in christchurch. Do you need a council permit to install? Thanks Paul Wilson

a: In NZ carports have their own rules under the code. Generally speaking carports under 20 square meters are exempt from most rules. But as always, contact your local council and make sure you know exactly where you stand.

By Trade Tested on November 26, 2018

0 votes

q: What lengths are posts, and what is the internal height from finished ground level to the underside of the beam. (post side)

a: The post is 3m, however we recommend 50cm deep footings so the the internal height to the beam would be 2.5m.

By Trade Tested on November 23, 2018

0 votes

q: What height is the roof normally, or does that depend how deeply the posts are placed in the ground/footing. how easy is it to assemble?

a: With the post 0.5m into the ground, the height of the post above ground will be 2.5m.

We chose the Trade Tested Cantilever Carport to provide cover for our car, while making parking it much simpler - no poles on the outside to bump into, or reduce the parking space. As the area was already concreted, we used the Base Plate set, which provided a simple installation closely in front of the workshop shed. After installation - we have had a number of compliments on the look of the carport, and I thoroughly recommend the product.

The product is everything I wanted. It looks good. Protects my vehicle. takes up minimal space. I had the recommended Kitset Installer erect as I am over 70 and passed that DIY stage that requires lots of digging.

Absolutely stoked with the product. Can be assembled by one person, only help I needed was to lift the canopy on to the main beams.Blends well with our home and due to no uprights one side we maintain the extra parking area. Only negative comment is the assembly instructions however Kiwi DIY soon took over. Must also comment on the excellent service provided by Trade Tested

Very pleased with the appearance of this carport. Have had a number of good comments from passing public and request for supplier name. Took a little longer to assemble than we thought. We added a little bracing to improve stability but it may not be needed.

Kitset was promptly delivered and well packaged. Unlike a lot of kitsets, there were extra screws, bolts, etc. Instructions assume a level of knowledge but to be fair most people will have this erected by a builder or professional kitset assembler. As long as the poles are exactly upright and level and the roof frame is properly squared prior to the assembly of the roof network, this kitset is a breeze to assemble. Does require lots of drilling and screwing though! Do need 3 or 4 people to raise the roof and bolt it in place and attach the roof panels. Very Happy with the finished result.

This carport is brillant. Reasonable instructions, good quality components, stunning looks. Took about three days to do the whole project, that includes digging the hole (ordered in cement to get a good strength mix). The assembly is repetitive, you really need a seperate cordless drill and screwdriver. Also make sure you get the right size drill bit (s/steel is brittle) and at least two new screw bits. My only suggestion to make it better would be square drive screws.

Great product, bit technical to assemble, looks great 4.5 stars. No support or back up- you on your own. Instructions not THAT clear. Plenty screws and stuff left over. Coincidentally good colour match.

There was a lot of scratches on the powder coated alloy and disappointing scratches on the poly carbonate roofing , as there was no damage to the outside packaging i guess it was poor handling before packaging. square drive screws would have been better. instruction good. although i am a builder, would be a good idea to suggest to square up main roof structure by measuring the diagonals before all the screws are put in .otherwise very pleased with the carport Cheers Wayne Whitianga

A year or two ago I purchased a cantilever cover for the express purpose of protecting my boat from the elements. My sons live off shore so when they came home this Xmas we got down to erecting it. My property is between Whangamata and Whitianga. Traffic over the holiday period is so hectic. Since we've erected this structure people have not only come of the street to make enquires but two guys, one from Pauanui, and a mate from Tairua both intend buying 2x2 of the cantilever cover for their boats also, that's not to say not only the foot traffic, but also vehicle personnel people who have taken the time to look at our structure may well follow suit.

I used the cantilevered patio as a carport. It's original dimensions are bigger than the space I had available so I cut it down to 2.6m by 5.0m and reduced the height to 1.6m at the lower side to match the adjacent fence. The modifications were simple to achieve and added half a day to the assembly time of 1 day for three people. Overall I am really happy with ease of installation and how good it looks.

Have attached 2 end for end to make 10m Very good units, look good,fairly easy to erect Canopies sit out over roof but have made 2 brackets per unit to secure them under the eave. Stops the open side from flapping in wind Bought joining kit, no instructions, can’t for the life of me figure out how it would work. Waste of time I just bolted the joining side rails together with suitable bolts & washers & run a strip of sealer along join. Secure & doesn’t leak. Cover panels are quite dark, do cut out a lot of light during winter Overall, very pleased

Good unit, instructions could be better. I swapped some of the screws supplied for pop rivets. Supplied screws would be better square drive as opposed to the phillips ones that come with it. Have made brackets to secure open side to the building, will reduce movement in wind Cover panels are quite dark, would be nice to have 2-3 shade options. Overall, looks good, reasonably strong, am getting a 2nd unit to go beside existing one

Overall it is a great product. I used it to shelter our back door area. I would have preferred a lighter tint but it will be ideal in summer. Also the instructions need to rewritten by an English speaker - not just translated from Chinese.

Has been up a month now. Had very strong northerly winds last week early in the morning which woke the household. Carport looked like it was going to take off and head to Invercargil but survived ok. All round I am happy with the carport and would highly recommend to others wanting a cost effective shelter solution.

Put up two of these. Instructions need to be read carefully. Setting up the posts needs to be accurate. Arrived on time with all the right bits and pieces. Looks good and great value for your dollars. Had winds from hell this week and the bugger is still there. Can't ask for more than that.

A very attractive carport when assembled. Needs two adults to assemble. Apply plenty of sealant at both ends of guttering. Accuracy is important when concreting in uprights. ( I was 1mm out and it caused minor problems.) Excellent shade to protect cars from sunlight. Not sure how well it would perform in a high wind area. I ran a rope over the top for cyclone Gita and it survived.

Bought this for some shade on our patio, was reluctant to spend the money to start with but I am really pleased with the result. If I had one small improvement it would be better instructions around the main roof assembly, takes a bit of nutting out.

This product was just what I needed. My situation is very much like the one in the product photo--it covers half a double carpad. I buried it an extra 100mm deep as it is a high wind area and I also wanted to minimise shade on my garden. Construction was relatively easy, except the small stainless steel screws were inadequate and often snapped so I replaced them all with larger, stronger galvanised ones for the framing. Ok for securing polycarbon panels. Very happy with the product.

We are so wrapped with the unit and it certainly does serve the purpose. Price wise, fantastic. Unit on front of our home cost $8.5k, we are in total shock for the same thing !
