7 things to consider when building a carport
Before building a carport, you need to know what you want and what you can afford.
It’s a carport type roof over a patio. Roof dimension is 6.5 m x 4.3 m, On the one 6.5m side it can be mounted on the wall and on the other side there are 3 brick/ concrete pillars of xmm . The frame to support the roof must be steel please. The covering must IBR sheeting, either galvanised or chromadek. Please quote on both types.
Shoprite Nelspruit Cash and Carry had damages on their roof with the huge storm. We need a quotation to repair the roof as it is leaking severely now when it rains. Will you urgently please go to the store to do a proper inspection and provide us with a comprehensive quotation. You can speak to the branch manager when you get to the store (Dirk).
We'd love to change the design, install a whole new roof. Perhaps extend the height, I'm wondering if you do other stuff besides the roof. Like painting the house, installing tiles on the wall, pavement, floor tiles, kitchen units installation etc. We're looking on renovating the house but we're comparing the prices for now.
Clear IBR (?) sheeting over a section of the garage (two car tunnel) lifted in strong wind. Currently held down by a couple of rocks but needs replacement. Perhaps general inspection of rest of roof would be good idea. Also wooden shelter between Kitchen and Garage which is flat, has bitumised (Laycool) (?) top. which has leak. Am concerned water collecting there could cause wood rot. Hasn't had bitumen redone for a year or two Needs redoing.
The leak is only on one side of the pitched roof close to the parapet wall. The leak is intermittent depending on the angle of the rain. On inspection the tiles all appear to be in good condition and no cracks were found. It could be something to do with the flashing installed where the tiles meet the wall.
the house is a 7.3x7.3m square, with the front wall height 4.2m (all walls cladded with metal sheeting) and the back wall 3m high. the roof is 7.3x7.4m. id like to request a roofing expert or someone with knowledge of flashing and trim, to quote me for the full installation of metal on all four sides of the building, the roof, and a 7.3x3m lean to stoep roof. the site is in de rust, and doesnt have access to electricity. will need battery operated machines for roofing.
Contact me by whatsapp please. I can't answer a phone call. I want a single carport 6mx3m -corrugated steel. One side to be attached on the existing garage wall. The other side to be mounted on two poles. Three meter gutter and one run down pipe. The attached photo show a car parked where I want the carport to be erected.

My roof leaks every time that there is heavy rain. If there is continuous light rain, it will not leak. It leaks mostly on the Eastern side, but if the heavy rain continues for a while, then it leaks everywhere in the house. My husband keeps insisting that it is the wind blowing in rain, but even when there is no wind and only heavy rain it will leak.
My patio and garage roofs are currently flat roofs, constructed of metal sheeting covered with torch-on waterproofing. The patio roof was damaged in the hail storm in November last year. I would like quotes to replace both of these roofs with proper angled structures, with either tiles per the main house or metal sheeting of a matching colour. Project objectives: durability, low maintenance going forward, good water run off/guttering. We are looking at an area of approx 75 m2.
