What a carport costs in the northern belt
Prices in Kempton Park, Edenvale and Tembisa follow the standard East Rand bands, and the mix here leans to the two smaller footprints on suburban stands and to multi-bay runs on the guest-house and shuttle premises around the airport.
| Carport | Size | Typical northern job | Installed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 3m × 6m | Tembisa, Birchleigh and Norkem Park stands | R6,500 – R14,000 |
| Double | 6m × 6m | Glen Marais and Kempton Park family homes | R12,500 – R24,000 |
| Double (tandem) | 3m × 12m | Narrow Rhodesfield and Bonaero Park driveways | R13,000 – R25,000 |
| Four-bay | 12m × 6m | Guest-house, shuttle and B&B parking runs | R27,000 – R52,000 |
| Aluminium double | 6m × 6m | Bedfordview and Edenvale frontages | R22,000 – R40,000 |
The numbers that decide a northern carport
Beam height is the number that catches this belt out. A guest house near OR Tambo that measures for sedans and then takes a shuttle booking finds the van will not fit under a 2.1 m beam. Size the height to the tallest vehicle that will ever use the bay, then add 300 mm — the full method is in the carport sizes guide.
Carports for the airport belt
OR Tambo shapes the northern demand. The guest houses, B&Bs and shuttle operators clustered around Kempton Park need staff and guest parking under cover, and the airport-edge suburbs of Rhodesfield and Bonaero Park carry steady home demand. At Edenvale and Bedfordview — the East Rand's upmarket pocket — a low-maintenance aluminium carport is the common choice, while a value single or double steel carport covers the denser Tembisa and Birchleigh stands. A commercial run of four or more bays is quoted per bay rather than as a single structure, which is what keeps a staff lot affordable.

Common questions
Do you install carports in Kempton Park and Edenvale?
Yes. KB Carports installs across Kempton Park, Edenvale, Bedfordview, Tembisa and the OR Tambo airport belt, out to the Bapsfontein and Bredell holdings — homes, guest-house staff parking and plot structures.
What carport suits a guest house near OR Tambo?
A four-bay 12m × 6m run suits a guest house or shuttle operator near OR Tambo, covering guest and staff vehicles under hail-rated IBR at R27,000–R52,000 installed. Specify a 2.7–3.0 m beam so a shuttle van or a roof-racked vehicle clears it.
How much is a double carport in Kempton Park?
A 6m × 6m steel double carport in Kempton Park costs R12,500–R24,000 supplied and installed. In Bedfordview and Edenvale, where an aluminium frontage is often preferred, the same double runs R22,000–R40,000.
Can a carport fit a narrow Rhodesfield driveway?
Yes. Where the driveway is too narrow for a 6 m side-by-side double, a tandem double of 3m × 12m covers two vehicles in line for R13,000–R25,000 installed. It is the standard answer on the older Rhodesfield and Bonaero Park stands.
