Before you order in Cairns

Cover that fits the full setup — not just the vehicle body

FNQ buyers usually need room for a canopy, roof racks, a trailer boat or a van drawbar. Measure the complete parked setup, then allow clearance to open doors and walk around the posts.

Cars, utes and work gear

Use mirror-to-mirror width and the true height of racks, canopies and aerials. A 6.0 m or 6.2 m bay gives easier parking or space beside the vehicle.

Trailer boats

Measure coupling to outboard, including guards, bow rail, windscreen or T-top. Wider bays make reversing between posts more realistic.

Caravans and motorhomes

Add the drawbar, not just body length. Check travel height including air conditioners, solar and antennas. 9.0 m depth is the usual step-up for longer vans.

Roof style

Wrapped or gable for Cairns sites

Wrapped roof portable steel carport kit

Wrapped roof

Lower-profile roof with fewer joins. Practical for cars, utes, trailers and open-sided storage when the selected height clears the full setup.

Gable roof portable steel carport kit

Gable roof

Pitched centre line for taller vans, boats with T-tops and vehicles with roof-mounted equipment. Confirm both wall and peak clearance.

Start with width, then check depth and height

Wrapped

3.3 m wide

Single bay for a car, small ute or compact storage when the full width fits between the posts.

View 3.3 m options →
Gable

3.5 m wide

Compact pitched-roof kit for one vehicle or a smaller trailer boat with enough centre height.

View 3.5 m option →
Double bay

6.0 m & 6.2 m

Two vehicles, a van plus tow vehicle, or a boat and trailer with room to reverse.

View 6.0 m option →
Longer vans

9.0 m depth

Extra length for drawbars, larger boats or parking a vehicle in front of a van.

Fit check

Measure once, order once

The usual mistake is measuring the body and ignoring accessories.

Length: bumper to bumper, or coupling to the furthest outboard or rear accessory. Van drawbars often add a metre or more.

Width: mirror to mirror, plus trailer guards. Leave room to open doors between the posts.

Height: racks, canopies, A/C, solar, antennas, T-tops and bow rails — whatever stays fitted when parked.

Site: check access for delivery cartons, a level base and what your council treats as a portable structure. See our council guide.

FAQ

Cairns collection and sizing

The usual option is Direct Freights at 8 Knight Street, Portsmith QLD 4870, with freight via Mainfreight from our Queensland dispatch point. Depot charges are listed on the product cards. Wait for ready-to-collect confirmation before travelling. Other FNQ locations can be quoted — use the depot finder.
Current processing is generally 3–5 weeks before dispatch or depot collection. Timing is confirmed when the order is processed and again when freight is ready.
Yes if you are set up for it. Kits are bolt-together and include an assembly guide. People, tools, lifting, foundation and anchoring depend on kit size and the site. We do not install.
There is no separate van or boat range. Use wrapped or gable kits that clear the full setup. Vans often need the drawbar in the depth figure; boats need trailer length, guards and T-top height. Send measurements if you want a check before ordering.
Optional back wall kits and extra side sheeting are available on selected sizes. Ask for compatibility and pricing with your quote.
Base and anchoring depend on ground, exposure and local requirements. Slabs, footings or ground anchors may be used. Get site-specific advice before installation, especially in higher-wind or cyclone-prone areas. See the council guide.
The bolt-together frame can generally be dismantled and reassembled. The new site still needs a suitable base, anchoring and a check of the rules that apply there.
