Meet the newest addition to the Elements family a premium steel carport engineered from the same high-strength, ZAM-coated galvanised steel as our upgraded Elements Pergola range. With clean lines, a minimalist frame, and fully opening adjustable louvres, it’s a modern, multi-purpose shelter built for real Kiwi homes.

Use it as a carport, a covered outdoor workspace, or even a sleek louvred pergola. The flexible design means you get shade, shelter, and ventilation whenever you need it. The louvres open and close to protect from sun or rain, making it just as useful as a lifestyle pergola as it is for parking.

Designed in a taller 2.5m height, it provides generous clearance for cars, SUVs, utes, vans, and anything else you want to keep protected.

Built tough, looks sharp (and an epic price point)

What is Galvanised Aluminium Magnesium?

Galvanised aluminium magnesium (often branded as Galvalume™ or ZAM®) is a coated steel product, not aluminium. It consists of a steel sheet coated with an alloy of zinc (Zn), aluminium (Al), and magnesium (Mg). This advanced coating provides significantly improved corrosion resistance compared to traditional galvanisation, which uses only zinc.

Key Features

Superior long-term corrosion protection.
Steel is significantly stronger and heavier than aluminium models so while it may have some slimmer profiles it it has a stronger wind resistance (so this baby ain't blowing away in a hurry)
Great lifespan due to strong coating on cuts, screw holes and brackets
Many carports, solar structures, and industrial canopies use ZAM steel instead of aluminium due to it's strength
Also... it just looks bloody epic

Care Instructions:
With a little care, it will keep its sharp, modern look for years
Regular Cleaning; Rinse the frame with fresh water (hose) to wash away salt, dust, and grime. For coastal areas, far more often. If surface spots appear (from rain, pollen, limescale, or mineral deposits), gently clean with a mild detergent solution. ZAM coating is self-healing to a degree, meaning small scratches often protect themselves over time. For deeper chips, apply a small amount of galvanised touch-up paint to maintain long-term protection.

WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS:
This structure is a non-permanent structure and warranty does not cover fading or damage incurred due to extreme weather exposure (including heavy rain, winds, exposure to high heat from bbqs and heaters and well unfortunately strong weather events). It also does not cover damage to the pergola caused by negligence, accident or misuse. Please follow the instruction manual for installation as damage caused by not following the instructions will void your warranty.

Warranty covers domestic use only and does not apply to commercial use. However, we will do our best to help with any issues or replacements parts.

Additional Building Information:

In some cases, a building or resource consent may be needed. Building work related to porches and verandas up to 20 square meters generally does not require a building consent. However, it's important to note that local councils may have specific requirements or restrictions. We recommend checking with your local council authorities for further information and guidance before installation if needed. Especially for pergolas over 20 square metres or if you are considering building close to load-bearing walls.
