FAQ
What’s the difference between a carport and a pergola?
A carport is primarily designed to provide covered shelter for vehicles, protecting them from sun, rain, and debris. It usually includes a roof supported by posts and may be freestanding or attached to a house. A pergola, on the other hand, is typically used to enhance outdoor living spaces. It often has an open roof structure, sometimes with battens or slats, providing partial shade. On the Tablelands, where the climate can vary, many homeowners install carports for practical protection and pergolas for outdoor enjoyment, especially in gardens or entertaining areas. Both can be customised to complement the look of a home.
Can I attach a pergola to my house, or should it be freestanding?
Both options are viable, and the choice depends on your goals and property layout. An attached pergola extends directly from the house, creating a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living. It's ideal for shaded patios, dining areas, or outdoor kitchens. A freestanding pergola, on the other hand, allows more flexibility in placement and can create a focal point in a garden or yard. On the Tablelands, attached pergolas are popular for entertaining areas, while freestanding ones suit rural properties or larger backyards. The decision comes down to how you plan to use the space and what suits your home design.
What size should a carport be for my home?
The right size for a carport depends on how many vehicles you need to accommodate and the available space on your property. A single carport typically measures around 3 x 6 metres, while a double carport is roughly 6 x 6 metres. On the Tablelands, it's also wise to consider extra height for taller vehicles like utes or caravans, especially in rural areas. Leave enough clearance for doors to open fully and space for movement around the vehicle. Custom sizing is common and often necessary to suit existing driveways or sloping land conditions found in many Tablelands suburbs.
