8 March 2021
Dutch gable carports
Looking for the perfect carport to match your modern house design? Dutch gable carports are cost-effective, classy carports perfectly suited to contemporary homes. If you're looking for a carport that both protects your car and gives your property a sophisticated look, this one's for you.
Whatever your lifestyle, you’ll love the Dutch gable roof carport. Let's look at some of its benefits...
Benefits of Dutch gable carports
Weather protection
For maximum protection for your car, the Dutch gable carport makes an excellent choice. This carport’s design incorporates eaves on all sides, protecting your vehicle from rain and snow. This also provides extra shade, helping keep your car's interior cool even in hot weather.
Heavy duty
Ever wondered what the gable on top of a Dutch gable roof is for? If you're thinking it's nothing more than a decorative touch, think again. The standalone gable on these roofs helps disperse rain. This feature directs water down the drip edge, keeping the roof dry and less likely to be damaged. That little gable also creates extra ventilation for your carport – so it’s much more than just a decoration!
Customise it
Our Dutch gable roofs often feature a 22-degree pitch, matching most homes perfectly. But not only that – you can customise this carport to your taste and needs. Choose the height, length, colour, span (and more!) of your carport to suit you. Just tell us what you want your carport to look like and we’ll bring it to life with our state-of-the-art software.

Professional finish
When you say you want the best carport, you don't only mean one that's durable but also looks great. So, if you want the best, look no further. These high-quality carports are available in our range of COLORBOND® steel colours and finishes – so you can pick the perfect colour combo to keep your neighbours jealous for years to come.
Add property value
You don't want to invest in a carport that doesn't add any value to your property. One reason a Dutch gable carport is a great choice is that it makes your property stand out. The triangular portion at the peak of its roof turns the structure into a style icon, dripping with sophistication. When it's time to sell your home, you may find buyers can't look past the beauty of this carport!
