Hi,

Looking at building on a carport in front of our garage at our home. Most promising company and quotation we got so far is R7800,00 for about 6x6 carport.

I'm just looking for extra opinions and/or recommendations. Price sounds good? Anyone can recommend another company?

Thanks! :)

We've spent more than that on the steel for the carport we're building ourselves - so I'd say it's a very good price you've been given.
 
HI voiDude!

I'm also looking to build a custom shaped carport but almost the same size. Can you please share the company name and number and if you are happy with the work done.

thanks a lot!
 
For Jozi that's a good price. Remember though that when you buy the steel at retail you'll never beat the construction company. And again, it depends on whether you copy the efficiency of their construction. They use the surrounding ring frame as gutters and one or two legs as downpipes. Do that with clever cutting and welding. Mild steel has a nominal tensile strength of 1 409 kg/sq cm. Go figure and save some money. The roof just has carry a man walking on it. Oh yes, use hard IBR, and TEK screws.
