Carports

Is your car outside naked right now?

Yes, your car. If you’re nekkid that’s perfectly fine. After all, you’re at home in front of your computer and really we don’t mind. We’ll try not to think about it. So, back to Carports! We like nekkid too, but not on cars! When cars go uncovered, they fade (think wrinkles), they blister (think sunburn) and they can get attacked (think hail)! Yikes! None of that is good, right? Well, we don’t think so and at The Patio Factory, we would like to help you dress up your car and your home and keep everything on the straight and narrow. The Patio Factory has experts that deal exclusively in “Nekkid Car Syndrome”. Seriously, what will the neighbours think if your prized beauty sits out there nekkid one more night??

Protecting Vehicles from

Harsh Australian Weather

Australia’s climate is known for its extreme weather conditions, from scorching summer heat and UV radiation to heavy rains, hailstorms, and even strong winds. A carport is more than just a parking space—it’s a smart investment that offers year-round protection for your vehicle, helping to maintain its appearance, performance, and longevity.

1. Protection Against Intense Sun and UV Damage

Australia has one of the highest levels of UV radiation in the world, which can cause significant damage to vehicles. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can:

  • Fade and deteriorate paintwork over time, reducing the car’s aesthetic appeal and resale value.
  • Damage interior components, such as leather seats, dashboards, and electronics, leading to cracks and fading.
  • Increase internal temperatures, making the vehicle uncomfortable and requiring more energy from the air conditioning system.
    A carport provides essential shade, reducing exposure to the sun’s harmful rays and keeping the vehicle cooler.

2. Protection from Heavy Rain and Hailstorms

Sudden downpours and hailstorms are common in many parts of Australia, particularly in storm-prone regions. Without a protective cover, vehicles can suffer:

  • Dents and cracks in the bodywork and windshield from hail impact.
  • Water damage, which can lead to rust and corrosion over time.
  • Electrical issues if moisture seeps into critical components.
    A well-constructed carport acts as a shield, preventing costly repairs and keeping your car in top condition.

3. Shield Against Dust, Debris, and Tree Sap

Living in suburban and rural areas often means dealing with dust storms, falling leaves, bird droppings, and tree sap—all of which can damage vehicle paint and glass.

  • Dust and debris can scratch the paint and reduce visibility on windows and mirrors.
  • Tree sap and bird droppings are difficult to remove and can stain or damage coatings if left untreated.
    A carport minimises exposure to these environmental hazards, reducing maintenance efforts and preserving your vehicle’s appearance.

4. Protection from Frost and Morning Dew

In colder regions, frost and condensation can form on windshields overnight, leading to:

  • Reduced visibility and safety hazards during early morning drives.
  • The need for extra time to defrost and warm up your vehicle in winter.
    A covered carport reduces the formation of frost, keeping your car ready to go in all seasons.

5. Enhancing Vehicle Longevity & Reducing Maintenance Costs

By shielding your vehicle from extreme weather, a carport helps:

  • Prevent premature aging of your car’s exterior and interior.
  • Reduce the need for costly repaints, repairs, and detailing services.
  • Extend the lifespan of batteries and electrical components, which can degrade faster in extreme heat or cold.

6. Added Convenience & Comfort

  • Provides a cooler car interior in summer, making it more comfortable when getting in.
  • Offers a dry, sheltered space for loading and unloading groceries or passengers during rain.
  • Can be custom-designed to match your home’s architecture and enhance curb appeal.

Investing in a Quality Carport

A professionally built carport is a long-term solution for protecting your vehicle from Australia’s unpredictable climate. With custom designs, durable materials, and expert installation, homeowners can enjoy peace of mind knowing their cars, boats, or caravans are safe from the elements.

Your Tailored Carport: Things to Consider

Now, on to the fun stuff! When you call, we are going to ask several questions. It’s just our way. We like to get to know you a bit and find out what kind of carport will best fit your needs and go with your existing structure. Here’s what we want you to think about.

Do you want the carport to be free-standing or attached?

Do you want the carport to blend seamlessly into your existing structure or do you want it to stand out?

What is your budget or do you need information about our finance program? Yes, that’s right…we have financing too!

Finally, we are going to ask what your carport is for (and we hate to put it this way) is it just to cover your car or will you need space to cover and store other items as well? Believe me when I say this…we know it’s never just a car.

Not only will you be making decisions on the colour, size and type of roofing, but the shape as well. We offer Gable Roofs, Flat Roofs, Dutch Gable Roofs, Skillion Roofs, Hip Roofs and both single and double-wide options. Relax; we know it’s a lot to take in all at once. You can browse around our site and see examples of all the different products we offer or you can call, 08 9451 5777, ask for a designer and get the ball rolling that way.

Our designers are experts in guiding our customers to the best options for their style of home, life and needs. No one is leaving you alone in the dark. We are here to hold a hand, be a shoulder to cry on or celebrate with you when you finally get everything the way you want it.

We certainly don’t hear any crying about our Patio Factory Carport KITS, but we do know that occasionally one of the kids beings home a D in math or science and that prompts an upset. Really, we’ll listen, pat you on the back and remind you why life is so great! Pretty soon your Carport KIT will arrive and you can tune out their excuses and put them to work!

A little hard work is good for the soul, right? Besides they may even decide that studying is preferable to work! That’s right; we’ve got your back!

Contact The Patio Factory Today!

Call us on 08 9451 5777 for a free measure and quote. We’ll send someone out to visit with you and instead of all those questions over the phone, they will get to see your site, make suggestions and show you materials right there in your own private space. Either way, it’s a win for you! Pretty soon you will have the solution to “Nekkid Car Syndrome” right at your fingertips! Oh, talking the neighbours will do!
