What are the standard dimensions of a single shadeport?
The standard size for a single shadeport in South Africa is around 2.7 metres wide by 5.0 metres long. This size is designed to fit one standard vehicle comfortably while providing enough shade and coverage.
Can the size of a single shadeport be customised?
Yes. Shadeports can be made to suit your available space or specific vehicle size. For larger vehicles like bakkies or SUVs, the width or length may be extended to 3 metres wide or 5.5 to 6 metres long. Customisation usually affects the final cost slightly.
What size vehicle fits under a single shadeport?
Most sedans, hatchbacks, and small SUVs fit well under a standard 2.7 m × 5 m shadeport. For oversized vehicles, a custom length or height might be needed to avoid tight parking or overhang.
How much space should be left around the shadeport?
It’s best to leave at least 0.5 to 1 metre of clearance on each side of the structure for ease of access, airflow, and maintenance. If you’re installing multiple shadeports side by side, allow around 5.5 to 6 metres between upright posts for spacing.
