The people at the company my husband and I chose were friendly and helpful. We had ordered the aluminium carport way too tall, so I had the installers cut off some of the height. They did it without question and we paid just a small extra charge. Cameron, who processed the payment and finalized the install date, was also very professional. Overall a great job!

Right from the start, I had so many questions and made multiple calls. Daniel had a lot of patience and was so fast with the answers. A lot of companies say, 'Oh, let me figure that out and price it and I will get back to you.' Not Daniel. He knows it all right from the get go. The installers were very good too and my carport looks great!

According to the SANS regulations you do not need plans but you should still check with your local council because you might need to get approval from them.
The lifespan of the carport depends on the quality of the carport and the materials it is made of, but no carport on the market should last less than 10 years.
