Custom Carports,
Built to Last.

A carport is one of the most practical outdoor structures you can add to a property. Done well, it protects your vehicle from sun damage and hail, adds measurable curb appeal, and delivers genuine resale value at a fraction of the cost and approval complexity of a full garage.

Custom Carport Design, Installation and Construction – Delivered Nationally by Outside Concepts

A carport is one of the most practical outdoor structures you can add to a property. Done well, it protects your vehicle from sun damage and hail, adds measurable curb appeal, and delivers genuine resale value at a fraction of the cost and approval complexity of a full garage.

Outside Concepts builds custom carports across Australia. Our franchise owner-operated model means a single experienced team manages your project from design through to handover. We offer a fixed price guarantee on every carport build — if something costs more than anticipated, we wear it. Finance options are available through Zip Pay for homeowners who’d prefer to spread the cost. Backed by 35 years of experience, HIA membership, and $20 million in public liability cover, we’re a builder you can rely on.

Carport Construction – What’s Included

Carport installation done properly isn’t just assembly. It starts with a site assessment, moves through soil and footing specification, structural framing, skin and roofing installation, and finishes with a walk-through that covers drainage, attachment points, and what to expect over time.

Our carport installation walk-through involves site preparation and footing excavation, post and beam construction, roofing skin installation, all fixing and weatherproofing, connection to existing structures where applicable, and final inspection and handover.

Custom Carport – The Design Decision Points

When you commission a custom carport with Outside Concepts, these are the decisions we work through together:

Size and span – Single vs double, length for your vehicle(s), clearance at the entry point.
Post count and placement – For accessibility, aesthetics, and structural load.
Skin and cladding – Colorbond for most climates; aluminium for coastal; timber for heritage and character properties.
Attachment – Connected to the home (requires coordination with existing roofline) or freestanding.
Council requirements – Setbacks, height limits, approval thresholds specific to your zone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a new verandah installed. It was a replacement for an existing verandah that needed to be demolished. Because of the limitations imposed by our spouting a novel way of attaching it to the house was required. Of all the companies we had quotes from, Kose's was the only one that came up with a goosneck arrangement which provided a verandah that met all our requirements for looks and functionality. The workmanship is excellent and we are very happy with the result.

We recently had a Large Colour Bond Patio ordered with OUTSIDE CONCEPTS PTY LTD in Melbourne.....The Quality and Workmanship were Outstanding, with the Best Quality materials used, not forgetting the TOP Tradesmen used, to do  the job. We are Very satisfied with this Project, and will highly recommend them to anybody wanting a Good job done, at a reasonable price. The Manager  Kose, who handled the job from start to finish, was extremely Professional, Very knowledgeable, and Patient, especially  while dealing with the Local City Councils for Permits etc
We wish them all the very Best in the future.

Update 17 May 2026 :
I recently had an issue with the extension Patio, so I contacted Kose, from OUTSIDE CONCEPTS, for assistance.
Kose contacted me promptly, with all the advice I required, and a solution to the problem.!
Thank you Kose for all your help you gave me, .....This proves that your 'After Sales Service " is Rock Solid , and the Best I have received so far.
wishing you all the Best for the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. While we unfortunately were not able to have a carport built by Custom Carports and Pergolas due to council regulations, the team here did so much fantastic work for us that I wanted to write a review. Everyone I spoke to here was courteous, friendly, and helpful. They understood what we wanted, knew the right questions to ask our city council to figure out what we could and could not do, and they communicated the result to us sensitively. I would be delighted to engage with this company again in the future if I had the opportunity. Thank you very much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot speak highly enough of Kose and the team!

From initial contact through to completion my experience was fantastic. Kose was always in hand for any queries I had and would keep us thoroughly updated at every stage.

Our backyard is now a lot more homely with the finished product delivered with care and skill.

To anyone looking for a pergola look no further!

Carport vs Garage – Cost, Approval, and Insurance

The three areas where a carport construction and a garage differ most:

Cost – A quality carport is significantly less expensive than a garage of comparable footprint.
Council approval – Carports are typically faster to approve and less regulated than enclosed garages.
Insurance – Some insurers treat open and enclosed structures differently.

We’d recommend confirming with your insurer before deciding. Our team can outline typical approval requirements for your state and zone.

Frequently Asked
Questions

How much does a carport cost?

Carport costs vary significantly by style, size, and material. Flat and skillion designs are typically the most cost-effective. Gable and hip roof styles involve more structural complexity. Then if you’re seeking help from our custom carport builders, your quote will be bespoke to your project. We provide a fixed, detailed quote after consultation.

Can I build a carport over an existing driveway?

In most cases yes, subject to footing placement that avoids underground services. We assess this at the site consultation.

What's the difference between an attached and freestanding carport?

An attached carport shares a roofline with your home and is more convenient for daily use. A freestanding structure offers more placement flexibility and can often be approved more easily in tight boundary situations. Both are structurally sound options.

How long does carport construction take?

Most carport installations are completed in less than a week once materials are on-site. The design and approval phase takes longer; we’ll give you a realistic project timeline at consultation.
