Garaports combine an enclosed garage with an attached open carport under one roofline. Store valuable items and lock up vehicles in the garage section, while using the carport side for additional vehicle parking, outdoor equipment, or covered workspace that doesn't need full enclosure.

Fair Dinkum Builds constructs garaports using Australian steel. You decide how to split the space between enclosed garage and open carport, choose the door configuration, and select features that suit your property and specific requirements. We handle everything from design and council approval through to installation and handover, so you get a structure that provides both secure storage and versatile covered space.

Why choose a garaport

A garaport works well when you need secure vehicle storage but also want covered space that stays open for airflow, easy access, or activities that benefit from shelter without full enclosure. The hybrid design costs less than building two separate structures while giving you the functionality of both a garage and carport.

The enclosed garage section protects vehicles and valuables from weather and theft. Park your main car inside, store tools and equipment in secure space, and keep items locked away when you're not home. The open carport side provides covered parking for a second vehicle, boat, trailer, or creates sheltered workspace for outdoor activities, repairs, or projects that need weather protection but benefit from natural ventilation.

The combined structure suits smaller properties where building a double garage plus a separate carport would take up too much space or exceed setback requirements. You get the protection and security of a garage alongside the accessibility and airflow of an open carport, all within a single footprint that's more efficient than two standalone buildings.

Garaports also provide flexibility for changing needs. Use both sections for vehicle parking now, then convert the carport side to a workshop or storage area later by adding walls. The structure adapts without requiring major modifications or additional construction.

Customise your Garaports

Every garaport we build starts with your requirements. You choose the profile, colours, door configuration, roof pitch, and extras that make the structure work for how you'll use both the enclosed and open sections.
