Carports for homes in Kenya
Keep your cars cool, clean and dry at home with a carport sized to your driveway, gate and turning space.
What is the best carport for a home in Kenya?
For most homes, a suspended cantilever or back-supported car shade works best, because posts stay at the back and out of the way of doors and gates. Choose waterproof shade net or PVC if you need rain cover, and acrylic canvas for a premium, long-lasting finish. A free site survey confirms the right size and position.

Home carport questions
How big should a two-car carport be?
A two-car carport is usually about 6 m wide and 5.5 m deep, with about 2.4 m clear height. Our team adjusts this to your driveway at the survey.
Do I need approval to put up a carport?
Requirements vary by county and estate. Many estates have rules on colours and positions, so check with your management. We can provide drawings to support an approval.
Will a carport damage my driveway?
Posts sit on small concrete footings or base plates. We cut neatly into paving and make good around each post.
Which colour is best for a home carport?
Green and beige blend with gardens and walls; lighter colours reflect more heat. We bring samples to the survey.
