Carport Kits Australia
Are you looking for a durable and easy-to-assemble carport kit for your home?
Stylekit is the DIY kits division of Homestyle Living. Since 2001, they have supplied engineered steel carport kits for homes across Australia.
Our DIY carport kits are designed to protect your vehicles from harsh weather conditions. They also add extra functionality and value to your home.
Why Choose a Stylekit Carport Kit?
At Homestyle Living Outdoors, we pride ourselves on being experts at building patios, pergolas, verandahs and carports. We’ve been doing it for over 25 years!
All our DIY carport kits are engineered using Australian-standard steel frames and roofing systems. Both are suitable for local weather conditions and wind conditions. However, we recommend checking your local council requirements before starting your project. This will ensure your approvals are in place for your state and location.
Every carport kit is supplied as a complete package. Hence, they include posts, beams, roof sheeting, flashings, gutters, brackets, fixings and installation instructions.
Unlike many off-the-shelf carports, our carport kits can be customised to suit your house, driveway, vehicle sizes and preferred roof style. It doesn’t matter if you need a compact single carport or a larger double carport for a caravan and additional vehicles. We can help you choose the right design.
You’ll also have access to support from a team that understands outdoor structures. Since we install them, too.
Our Carport Kit Range
We supply a full range of steel carport kits to our customers. Options include:
Single Carport Kits
Single-carport kits are a good choice for homes with one vehicle, narrow driveways or smaller outdoor spaces. They’re also suitable for covering a car and trailer combination or smaller 4WDs.
Most single carport kits are around 3–4 metres wide and 5–6 metres long. That said, sizes can be adjusted to suit your property. If you have roof racks, taller vehicles or limited access, we can tailor the height and roof clearance accordingly.
Double Carport Kits
Double carports are ideal for households with two vehicles or for homeowners who want extra storage and cover for boats, caravans, or trailers. However, they can be designed with additional width, length or clearance if needed.
Freestanding Carport Kits
Free-standing carports work well for front yards, side access areas, rural properties and homes without suitable attachment points. These structures can stand independently, which can provide you with flexible placement across your property.
Attached Carport Kits
Attached carport kits connect directly to the house using fascia or wall attachments. They are a popular option when replacing an older carport or creating a seamless extension from the home.
Custom DIY Carport Kits
If standard sizes don’t suit your property, we can create custom DIY carport kits with adjusted spans, post spacing, roof pitch and depth. We can also help integrate your new carport with existing patios or outdoor living areas for a more cohesive look.

Carport Roof Styles
We want our customers to choose a carport roof style that best suits their home, budget and local weather conditions. That’s why we offer the following:
Flat & Skillion Roof Carport Kits
Flat-roof carport and skillion-roof carport designs are among the most popular in Australia. A skillion roof uses a single slope to allow effective water drainage. It also delivers a clean, modern appearance.
These carport roof kits are generally the most cost-effective choice. They are also easy to install and suit contemporary homes particularly well, as they work nicely in compact spaces.
Gable Roof Carport Kits
Gable roof carports feature a pitched roof design that provides additional height and a more traditional appearance. This style is often chosen for larger vehicles such as caravans or boats, which need extra clearance.
Freestanding vs Attached Carport Roofs
Attached roof designs create a connected look with the house. Freestanding roofs, by contrast, allow greater flexibility with placement and access around vehicles. Which one you choose is up to you.

FAQs
Council approval may be required, depending on the state regulations where you live. We recommend checking with your local authorities before building your carport.
Our DIY carport kits are designed to be easy to assemble. However, some homeowners choose to have a builder or tradie do it for them.
