Attached patios & carports
Fixed to the fascia or a wall of your home. The most common and the best value.
What is a attached patio or carport?
An attached roof is fixed to your house — to the fascia board, a brick or stud wall, or an existing shed — and carried on posts at the outer edge. It is the most common build and usually the best value, because the house carries one side of the roof.
Best for
- Covering an area right outside a door
- Budget-conscious builds
- Carports beside the house
Good to know
- Single skin keeps the cost down; insulated panels keep the heat and rain noise out and let you fit downlights and a ceiling fan.
- The roof sits below your gutter line, so the height depends on how high your eaves are.

Single skin or insulated?
Single skin
- The lowest-cost option
- Spans up to about 5 m between beams
- Can be built as close as 450 mm to a boundary (with approval)
- Hotter and louder in rain than insulated
- No downlights or fans in the roof
Best for: Carports, flyovers with good air flow, and budget builds.
From underneath you see the ribbed roof sheets and the steel purlins that hold them. Lights and fans fix to the beams.

Insulated panel
- Keeps the heat out — noticeably cooler underneath
- Quiet in rain
- Finished white (or coloured) ceiling, no visible purlins
- Downlights and ceiling fans built in
- Longer spans, fewer beams
Best for: Patios and outdoor rooms you will sit under and use all year.
From underneath you see a flat, finished ceiling, usually Surfmist, with downlights and a fan set straight into it. Thicker panels span further and insulate better.

How much does a attached patio or carport cost?
It depends on the size, the roof and the site. Book a free on-site quote: we measure up and give you the price.
Do I need council approval?
Most builds over 10 m² need a building approval. We draw the plans, get the engineering and lodge the approval for you.
