Cantilever Carport Installations Pretoria

Cantilever is the right design when a standard double-post carport does not fit your site. Common situations include a narrow driveway where a second post row would block turning space, parking alongside a boundary wall where you cannot place posts beyond the property line, and commercial bays where maximum vehicle width clearance is critical for delivery trucks, minibuses, or large SUVs.

It is also the preferred choice for corner sites where vehicles need to turn sharply on approach, and for properties where the aesthetic of posts only on one side suits the design of the home or building. Cantilever frames are engineered with heavier base footings to compensate for single-side loading, the structural integrity is equivalent to a standard double-post carport.

1. Free site assessment, We measure the driveway width, check soil conditions, note boundary constraints, and determine the correct span and post spacing for your site.
2. Structural calculation and quote, Cantilever spans require specific foundation sizing. Your written quote reflects the actual foundation depth and post gauge for your conditions.
3. Frame fabrication, Heavier-gauge cantilever arms and posts fabricated and treated at our Pretoria workshop.
4. Foundation work, Deeper footings cast for the single-side post row. Minimum 48-hour cure before frame erection.
5. Frame erection and roofing, Cantilever arms bolted to posts and checked for level and deflection. Roofing fixed and flashed.
6. Sign-off and warranty, Structural inspection completed, 3-year workmanship warranty certificate issued.

Cantilever carports carry a modest premium over standard double-post designs due to heavier post gauges and deeper foundations. A single-bay cantilever with IBR roofing typically ranges from R10 000 – R15 000 installed. Double-bay cantilever units range from R18 000 – R26 000 depending on span width and post height.
