Kris Wanted a Carport and a Deck. He Got a Whole New Lifestyle with Smartkits

Kris saw the Smartkits ad on Facebook while scrolling one night after work. He’d been thinking about building a new carport and a deck but had no idea where to start. Council approvals? Engineering? Span calculations? All too hard. He had the vision but not the plan.

Smartkits changed that.

From his first inquiry, the process was clear. Kris received a fully engineered design, tailored to his home and lifestyle. We helped him choose a high-span carport built from structural steel—strong, durable, and made to last. No timber rot, no sagging beams, no drama. Just a solid steel frame anchored into a fresh concrete slab, giving him the shelter he needed and the street appeal he wanted.

But Kris didn’t stop there.

Out the back, he added a stunning deck with a flyover roof system—designed to maximise airflow and reduce heat. The engineered span meant fewer posts and more usable space, with room for poolside dining, relaxing, and year-round entertaining.

Built with Australian-made BlueScope Colorbond® steel, Kris’ new deck isn’t just good-looking—it’s built for strength, engineered for harsh weather, and designed to stand the test of time.

Why choose Smartkits?

  • Engineered span and structure

Kris came to us unsure of the next step. Now he parks under a stylish new carport and steps out onto a deck that’s changed the way he lives. All thanks to smart design, smart steel, and Smartkits.
