What is a Free Standing Carport?

A free standing carport is a structure built independently from your home, giving you more flexibility in where it can be placed. Unlike attached carports, they don’t rely on existing walls for support, making them the ideal solution for properties that need extra coverage away from the house.

Stand alone carports can be installed on a concrete slab, at the end of a driveway, or in open areas of your yard. Placement will always depend on your property layout and council requirements, which is why Altec manages the approval process for you. We’re here to make sure every design is safe, compliant, and built to last.

Benefits of a Freestanding Carport

Adding a freestanding carport to your property delivers practical protection and lifestyle advantages, including:

Year-round protection – keep cars, boats, and caravans safe from Queensland’s sun and storms.
More usable space – free up your garage for storage or create a shaded area for outdoor activities.
Versatile design – choose the size and clearance that suits your vehicles, from single carports to larger structures for multiple vehicles.
Property value – improve street appeal and add long-term value to your home with a stylish, low-maintenance addition.

With Altec’s custom designs, your free standing carport will do more than protect vehicles. It will enhance the way you use your outdoor space.

Council Approval Made Simple

Freestanding carports give you freedom in placement, but they also need to meet council requirements around boundaries, zoning, and site conditions. In many cases, approvals are required if your carport is too close to a boundary, exceeds size limits, or alters street access.

Altec takes care of this process for you. From site assessment and working with private certifiers to preparing and lodging applications, we make sure your design is fully compliant before construction begins. This means you can enjoy the benefits of your new carport without the stress of navigating paperwork or local regulations.

Free Standing Carport Prices: What To Expect

Carport prices can vary depending on several key factors. At Altec, we design each structure around your property, so you only pay for what you need.

Size and layout – Single carports generally cost less than double carports or larger custom builds designed for boats and caravans.
Roof style – Flat, skillion, and gable roofs each require different materials and construction methods.
Materials and finishes – Options like polycarbonate panels, integrated gutters, and custom colours influence overall cost.
Site conditions – The need for a new concrete slab, site levelling, or complex access can impact pricing.

Because of these variables, it’s not possible to list a one-size-fits-all price online. Instead, Altec offers free consultations to provide accurate advice and a tailored quote. That way, you’ll know exactly what your free standing carport will cost. No nasty surprises, just transparency from start to finish.
