Carports for the Upper Highway
The Upper Highway sits inland and higher, in a green mist belt where the air is damp and humid rather than salty. That changes the corrosion story but does not remove it — persistent humidity and mist still rust a painted mild-steel frame, so hot-dip galvanised steel remains the sensible spec. With larger, leafier stands, a homeowner can fit a double or step up to a triple or four-bay for a boat, a bakkie and the family cars — common on the Hillcrest and Assagay holdings.
Suburbs covered on the Upper Highway
Westville, Cowies Hill, Pinetown, Kloof, Gillitts, Waterfall, Hillcrest, Assagay and Botha's Hill. The free measure covers the whole belt, and cast footings are the norm here on soil and sloped, treed stands rather than the bolt-down of a coastal complex.

Common questions
Do you install carports in Westville, Kloof and Hillcrest?
Yes. KB Carports installs across Westville, Kloof, Gillitts, Hillcrest, Pinetown and the Upper Highway, from single carports on suburban homes to triple and four-bay structures on the Hillcrest and Assagay smallholdings.
Does an inland Upper Highway carport still need galvanising?
Yes. The Upper Highway is set back from the coast's salt, but its mist-belt humidity and damp still rust a painted mild-steel frame over time. Hot-dip galvanised steel is the sensible spec even inland, just without the heavier marine-grade coat a sea-facing stand needs.
