Carport roofs collect a surprising amount of water, and they usually drain straight onto the driveway or against the house. The gutters that came with a kit carport are often light gauge and undersized, and they're the first thing to rust.
Common carport drainage problems
- Gutters overflowing onto the car or the side path
- Downpipes discharging onto concrete instead of into stormwater
- Water running back along the beam into the house wall
Getting it right
We fit Colorbond gutters sized for the roof area, with enough fall and downpipes placed where they can connect to stormwater. If the carport ties into the house, we flash the junction so water can't track back towards the brickwork.
Do it with the house gutters
If you're replacing the house gutters anyway, add the carport to the same job. You'll get one colour, one crew and one warranty.
