After purchasing a new car, the last thing you want to do is leave it outside, exposed to the Australian weather conditions. If your home doesn’t have a garage, the best option is to get a solid carport that provides protection and is a durable shelter for your vehicle to protect it from rain, paint-damaging sun rays, and hail that can cause body damage.
But what is the best steel to build your carport from? You want something that will be long-lasting and protect your vehicle(s) from the elements. Steel carports are the best material due to their sturdiness and durability. But with varied types of steel, what’s best for your carport?
Colorbond Steel Manufactured in Australia by BlueScope Steel, Colorbond steel is produced to meet strict Australian standards. Colorbond steel is made from a steel metal sheet base combined with a zinc/aluminium coating to prevent corrosion. The steel is then covered with a conversion layer, baked with a polyester primer on its surface, and finally covered with an exterior paint top coat to maximise durability.
Each sheet of Colorbond steel is made with thermal efficiency technology used to reflect the sun’s rays on hot days. You are making it great for keeping your carport and vehicle(s) cool during the hot Australian summer.
You must have a sturdy and durable carport in Australia's harsh weather conditions. Steel is the perfect material to provide you with a structure that is sturdy and hard-wearing. Colorbond steel is durable, long-lasting, and lightweight, making it an investment for years.
Gone are the days of steel only coming in one colour. Colorbond steel comes in many beautiful colours that will perfectly complement your home. Match your carport with your existing roof colour or make a statement with something completely different. Not to mention the underside's smooth, clean, and reflective grey colour. Colorbond steel gives your carport a neat, modern, and professional appearance.
Steel can be more expensive than other materials when installing your carport. However, the superior benefits of steel, especially that of Colorbond Steel, along with the modern and timeless designs accomplished through the use of the material, provide customers with a durable structure that stands up to the test of Australian weather conditions. It is also essential to consider the low maintenance cost of a steel structure compared to that of a less expensive material at the front.
