2-Car Shade Net Carport Prices
A 2-car shadeport covers two cars side by side on a footprint of about 5.5 to 6 metres by 6 metres. It costs R13,500 on four posts, R25,890 as a cantilever and R15,525 to R16,875 with a waterproof membrane. At about 33 to 36 m² it stays under the 40 m² minor-building-work limit, so it needs written City of Tshwane permission but no full building plans.
Four-Post vs Cantilever Shadeport Prices
| Size | Four-post | Cantilever | Cantilever premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | R10,500 | R18,900 | +R8,400 (+80%) |
| 2-car | R13,500 | R25,890 | +R12,390 (+92%) |
| 3-car | R17,500 | R29,990 | +R12,490 (+71%) |
The premium pays for heavier columns, braced arms and larger footings, explained under cantilever shadeports.
Shade Net Carport Price per Square Metre
| Size | Area | Four-post per m² | Cantilever per m² |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | ±18 m² | ±R583 | ±R1,050 |
| 2-car | ±36 m² | ±R375 | ±R719 |
| 3-car | ±54 m² | ±R324 | ±R555 |
The per-square-metre price falls by 44 percent from a single to a triple four-post shadeport, because poles and footings are shared.
Waterproof Shadeport Prices
A PVC-coated membrane adds 15 to 25 percent to the four-post price:
| Size | Shade net | +15% | +25% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | R10,500 | R12,075 | R13,125 |
| 2-car | R13,500 | R15,525 | R16,875 |
| 3-car | R17,500 | R20,125 | R21,875 |
The premium covers the membrane and the fall that sheds thunderstorm rain to one side, described under waterproof shadeports.
Re-Netting and Hail Repair Prices
| Size | New four-post | Re-net | Re-net as share of new |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | R10,500 | R5,250 | 50% |
| 2-car | R13,500 | R6,750 | 50% |
| 3-car | R17,500 | R8,750 | 50% |
Re-netting a sound frame costs R5,250 for a single, R6,750 for a 2-car and R8,750 for a triple. Re-tensioning costs less than a re-net, and bent arms or poles are priced after an inspection under shadeport repairs.

What Changes a Pretoria Shadeport Quote
Span, height and steel
Spans past about 6 metres between poles need thicker-wall tube or an extra pole. Taller bays for caravans, boats or loaded bakkies add steel. Cantilevers use the heaviest columns because the roof hangs off the back.
Soil and paving
Clay soils in parts of Tshwane move between the wet summer and the dry winter, so footing depth is set on site. Core-drilling through existing paving adds labour that a phone estimate cannot see.
Net grade and colour
95 percent net is the parking standard, and stocked colours cost the same. Grades and colours are compared in the shade net guide.
