Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about steel carports, awnings, shadeports, modular units and custom steel structures across KwaZulu‑Natal.
How long does installation take?
Most standard carports, awnings and shadeports are installed within 1–2 days. Larger steel structures or modular units may take 3–7 days depending on size and site conditions.
Do your structures handle coastal conditions?
Yes — all steel is treated, primed and finished for coastal durability. Areas like Ballito, Salt Rock, Durban and Richards Bay require corrosion‑resistant coatings, which we apply as standard.

Absolutely. We install in estates such as Zimbali, Simbithi, Dunkirk, Brettenwood, Palm Lakes, Kindlewood, Garlington and many more. All designs follow estate guidelines.
Can you customise the size and design?
Yes — every structure is custom‑measured and fabricated to fit your property, vehicle size, roofline and aesthetic requirements.

We repair rust damage, replace roofing, reinforce frames, upgrade old structures and modernise outdated installations.
