For Wayne, weekends mean freedom. His caravan is more than a vehicle — it’s a ticket to the open road, the bush, the beach, and everything in between. But like any seasoned traveller knows, the real adventure begins at home — with preparation, protection, and a bit of pride in where you park your gear.
Wayne wanted something more than just a carport. He wanted structure, style, and strength.
He wanted something that matched his home, framed his yard, and stood tall as a feature, not just a cover.
That’s when he found SmartKits Australia.
The Vision: A Dutch Gable Carport with Elevation and Elegance
Wayne had a clear goal — create a space that could comfortably house his caravan without cramping the backyard. A carport that looked like it belonged. He chose our Dutch gable roof design, which brings height, airflow, and timeless appeal to any home.
SmartKits delivered a full engineered kit including:
• High-span gable frame for clearance
• Colorbond steel in custom colours
• Matching gable infills for that classic Aussie profile
• Gutters, flashings, posts and all fixings included
• Certified plans for council
Every piece arrived ready to go, and with QHI National as the approved build partner, Wayne knew he was in good hands.
The Build: QHI National on the Tools
The QHI National crew took the project from slab to structure, installing the SmartKits system with precision. Working around trees and prepping the sloped site, the team brought Wayne’s design to life — from the first upright post to the last screw in the ridge cap.
The finished product is a testament to smart planning and experienced install. It’s spacious, strong, and perfectly positioned to keep Wayne’s caravan shaded, secure, and ready to roll whenever the road calls.
The Result: Ready for the Next Trip, and the One After That
Now, Wayne has a structure that adds real value to his home and real function to his life. No more worrying about hail, heat, or branches. His caravan is tucked neatly under a carport that’s built to last and built to impress.
This is what SmartKits is all about. Real people. Real builds. Real satisfaction.
