How high can carport designs be in Queensland?

At present, the maximum height of a carport in Queensland is generally limited to 2.4m above ground level—2.7m for a pitched roof carport. That said, we always recommend checking your local council's permits and permissions to ensure your ideal carport design will be approved on application.

Much like height limits for carports, patios, and pergolas, we always recommend confirming the most up-to-date permissions allowed in your council area before you begin the design or construction process. That said, the setback requirements for building a carport in Brisbane and nearby local council areas will need to be set back at least 900mm from your boundary line.

Do you need a concrete slab for a carport?

Whether or not your carport design needs a concrete slab will depend largely on your property and the designated or preferred space for your new carport. That said, a level, unsupportive surface will need to be chosen before you begin laying the groundwork for your carport, especially if you live in a marshy area or are prone to flooding. Fortunately, carports can be built on a variety of foundations, including concrete slabs, gravel, or pavers.

Flat Roof Carports

Flat Roof Carports offer a minimalist, modern design ideal for a new or existing home. Besides being space-efficient, they provide effective protection against the elements.

Their clean lines and unobtrusive appearance make them a preferred choice for your outdoor space and for those seeking functional and aesthetically appealing custom-built carports.

Gable Roof Carports

Gable Roof Carports stand out with their classic, pitched design. Unlike cheap carport kits, gable carports offer more than just vehicle protection; they add a touch of architectural charm to your existing roof line.

Their elevated structure promotes better airflow and drainage, making them both a practical and aesthetically pleasing choice for homeowners.

Flyover Roof Carports

If you're looking for a modern twist on vehicle protection, a Flyover Roof Carport is the right project for you and our experienced carport builders in Brisbane.

Elevating above the house's existing roof line, they create an airy and spacious feel, regardless of whether you choose a double or triple carport.

Their innovative design offers enhanced coverage and adds a contemporary flair, seamlessly integrating with the aesthetics of today's homes.

Box Gutter Roof Carports

Featuring a distinct, angular design, Box Gutter Roof Carports provide a blend of modern aesthetics and efficient protection.

These carports are designed to hold a larger capacity of water due to their roofs being raised higher, allowing for more efficient drainage and reduced risk of overflow.

Free Standing Roof Carports

Ideal for homes with spacious driveways or additional land, Free Standing Carports provide robust protection for vehicles without being attached to the residence.

They offer versatile placement options, standing independently from the main structure, making this design ideal for anything from single to double carports and bigger.

What Our Customers Say

We initially had Russel give us a quote for our carport. I was impressed with the product and professionalism. Lifestyle patios did all the paperwork required for council approval. They worked with us whilst we had a new retaining replaced and then came to install the carport over a couple of days So happy with all aspects of our dealing with Lifestyle Patios. Would highly recommend.

Angela Bell

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've had a couple of car ports built by Lifestyle patios and been very pleased with the results. Bryce Norris has a great eye for the design that will fit in with the house as well as the colours. These have a designer look for those who don't want the basic carport solution.

Michael Booy

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We recently had the pleasure of dealing with Lifestyle Patios Queensland and engaged them to build an attached carport. The entire process was made stress free with all staff very helpful. Would not hesitate to recommend.
