When Tony and Melissa bought their home in Sydney, they had a clear vision — shade the driveway, protect the cars, and add a sleek, modern look to the front of their home. A carport was the plan, and they didn’t want something cheap and clunky. They wanted clean lines, long spans, and most of all: height.
There was just one problem.
Like many homes built in the last 20 years, their roofline was packed with solar panels. Their fascia wasn’t just crowded — it was practically unusable for traditional patio attachment brackets. And mounting through the roof? That would mean removing panels, breaching the roofline, and risking leaks and compliance issues.
That’s when they found Smartkits Australia — and our game-changing solution:
Elevated Fascia Brackets.
✅ What Are Elevated Fascia Brackets?
Smartkits Elevated Fascia Brackets are custom-engineered mounting solutions that allow homeowners to achieve a flyover roof design without touching the tiles or tin. The brackets mount directly to the existing house fascia but elevate the beam above the gutter line, creating more vertical space, better airflow, and a cleaner look.
They’re a perfect option when:
• Solar panels block roof access
• You want a modern flyover roof without cutting into the structure
• Your home doesn’t have sufficient wall height for a direct wall-mount bracket
• You want to increase the pitch and let in more light
For Tony and Melissa, the elevated brackets meant one thing: they could finally build the carport they wanted — without compromise.
🏗️ The Project: A Smartkits Carport with Solar Clearance and Street Appeal
Working with the Smartkits design team, Tony sent through his house photos, wind rating (N3), and rough measurements. Within days, Smartkits provided a fully engineered kit, complete with:
• 100mm insulated roofing panels
• A COLORBOND steel frame
• Smartkits Elevated Fascia Brackets to clear the solar system
• Certified engineering documents for council approval
• All flashings, guttering, and fixings included
The result?
A striking flyover carport with increased height, clean architectural lines, and full protection from the elements — without touching a single solar panel.
And better still? They did it themselves — Smartkits’ instructions, design support, and bolt-together system made it a perfect weekend project for a hands-on homeowner.
