Trailers & Utes

Your ute is your livelihood. Give it more than a driveway.

A DIY carport kit that shields your ute, trailer, or work vehicle from hail, rain, and sun — so your tools, tray, and paintwork aren’t paying the price for being parked outside.

The Problem

Your ute is your livelihood. Give it more than a driveway.

Utes and trailers earn their keep parked at the kerb, on site, or in the driveway — exposed to whatever the sky throws at them. Hail dents panels and cracks trailer lids. UV fades paint and cracks tray liners. Rain gets into open trailers and toolboxes left uncovered. None of that is cheap to fix, and none of it is necessary.

A carport gives your ute or trailer somewhere to sit between jobs that isn’t at the mercy of the weather — without needing a garage or a permanent build.

Features

Everyday protection for vehicles that work for a living

Hail & Weather Protection

A durable frame and heavy-duty canopy designed to stand between your ute or trailer and Australia's hail, rain, and harsh UV — the same protection philosophy behind our best-selling CarCave.

Fast DIY Setup

Most kits are designed for straightforward DIY assembly — no trades, no permanent slab required for the standard range.

Built for Daily Access

Unlike a garage, a carport gives you open, fast access for loading and unloading — ideal if you're in and out of your ute or trailer multiple times a day.

Factory-Direct Pricing

No dealer markup. The same category of structure a traditional retailer sells, at a fraction of the price.

Who This Is For

Built for:

Tradies protecting a ute that's parked at home overnight and on-site during the day

Small business owners with a work trailer or van that lives outside

Farm and rural properties sheltering utes, trailers, and equipment from sun and hail

Weekend haulers protecting a box trailer, car trailer, or camper trailer between uses

Anyone renting who needs vehicle protection without a permanent structure

Sizing Guidance

Choosing the right size

Measure your ute or trailer at its:

1

Length

Including any tray overhang, tow ball, or drawbar on a trailer

2

Height

To the highest point, including a canopy, roof rack, or ute tub cover

3

Width

Widest point including mirrors

If you’re covering both a ute and a trailer, or need extra room to walk around the vehicle to load and unload, size up rather than down. Contact us if you’re unsure which option fits your setup.

FAQ

Ute & Trailer Carport FAQ

Will a carport fit my ute with a canopy or roof rack?

Measure to the highest point of your vehicle, including any canopy, roof rack, or tub cover, and allow extra clearance. Contact us with your dimensions if you’re unsure which size to choose.

Yes, as long as you size the carport to fit both vehicles with enough room to move around them comfortably. Let us know your combined dimensions and we can help you choose the right option.

Our carport kits are built with durable frames and heavy-duty canopies designed to handle regular, everyday use in Australian conditions.

Most kits are designed for straightforward DIY assembly without specialist trades, though exact time depends on the size you choose.

A carport shields your vehicle and its contents from rain, hail, and sun exposure. For loose items, we’d still recommend a lockable toolbox or tray cover as an added layer of protection.

Our standard carport kits are designed for DIY installation and can typically be anchored to different surfaces, including concrete or ground stakes, without requiring a poured slab. Check the specific kit’s installation guide for your chosen surface.

Our carports are designed as semi-permanent DIY structures. Whether it’s practical to relocate depends on the anchoring method used, so consider this before installation if you may move in future.
