Here are some tips to help you make the best decision:

  1. Determine your budget: It’s important to have a budget in mind before you start shopping for a car parking shade. This will help you narrow down your options and ensure that you don’t overspend.
  2. Consider the size of your car: Make sure the car parking shade you choose is large enough to cover your car. Measure your car’s length, width, and height to determine the size of shade you need.
  3. Think about the material: Car parking shades are typically made from either fabric or metal. Fabric shades are generally more affordable, but they may not be as durable as metal shades. Metal shades, on the other hand, are more durable but may be more expensive.
  4. Consider the location: Think about where you’ll be using the car parking shade. If you live in a sunny or hot climate, you may want to choose a shade with a higher SPF rating to provide more protection from the sun.
  5. Look for a shade with good ventilation: Proper ventilation is important to prevent your car from getting too hot while it’s parked. Look for a shade with vents or mesh panels to allow for good airflow.
  6. Check for ease of use: Make sure the car parking shade is easy to install and remove. If it’s too difficult to use, you may not use it as often as you should.
  7. Look for a shade with a warranty: It’s always a good idea to choose a car parking shade with a warranty, as this can give you peace of mind and protect your investment.
  8. Consider the style: While functionality is important, you may also want to choose a car parking shade that looks good and complements the style of your car.

By considering these factors, you can choose the right car parking shade for your needs and ensure that your car is protected from the elements while it’s parked.

Factors That Influence Carports Prices In Kenya

So what informs the cost of car shades provides above? Here are the main factors that determine the cost:

Size of the Car Shade

The size of the carport you choose will be the most important determining element in the overall cost of the building. Obviously, the larger the carport, the higher the price. A larger construction necessitates a greater number of materials to be produced, raising the cost.

Therefore it’s important to establish the purpose of the car shade you want to invest in. This will help you not to invest a very big structure which will be a waste of money or a very small structure which may not meet all your needs. This will help you to avoid restructuring costs of either reducing the size or increasing the size.

Type of Carports.

We have different types of carports and each will cost differently because of the materials used in developing the structure and the size. Here are the most common carport types:

Single-Car Carports.

These are simple and straightforward structures that are designed to provide shelter for one vehicle. They are often freestanding and come in a variety of sizes and shapes.

Double-Car Carports

These structures are designed to provide shelter for two vehicles at the same time, and are usually larger than single-car carports.

Attached Carports

These are structures that are attached to the side of a house or building and provide shelter for one or two vehicles.

Steel Carports

These are usually larger and stronger than other types of carports, and are made from steel or aluminum.

Canopied Carports

These are carports that have a roof which is made from a fabric or metal material.

Prefabricated Carports

These are carports that are pre-made and are usually made from metal or steel.

Wooden Carports

These are carports constructed from wood and are usually more aesthetically pleasing than other types of carports.

Carport Special Features

Doors.

Adding doors (and walls) to your carport, such as standard walk-in doors or roll up doors, is a nice feature. Of course, there is an additional cost to including one or more doors in your design.

Windows.

As with doors, you will pay extra to have a window included in your structure. If you plan to spend a significant amount of time in the carport, a window or two would likely be appreciated.

Gables.

Adding a gable at one end of your carport, or both ends, is an add-on feature that you may like if you want to improve the ability of your structure to keep rain and snow from making its way inside. Gables can also improve the finished look of the carport.

Additional trusses.

If you wish to add extra trusses to your structure for strength and stability, an added charge will be applied.
