Outdoor Living
Outdoor Living structures provide dependable protection for vehicles, entryways and high-use outdoor areas. At Big Hands Building Supplies, we supply durable, low-maintenance carports and awnings suited to both residential and commercial properties. Each system is selected for strength, weather resistance and straightforward installation, giving you reliable cover throughout the year. Whether you are upgrading an existing space or planning a new structure, our outdoor living solutions offer practical value with long-term performance in mind.
Carport
A carport offers an efficient way to protect vehicles and equipment from sun exposure, rainfall and debris. Our systems are built from high-strength aluminium alloy with corrosion-resistant, powder-coated frames designed to withstand changing weather conditions. The polycarbonate roofing provides reliable shelter and blocks up to 98% of UV rays, helping reduce wear on vehicle surfaces.
Key advantages
- Durable construction — The aluminium alloy structure is engineered for stability, impact resistance and wind tolerance of up to 42m/s. Its powder-coated finish minimises corrosion and supports long-term durability.
- Effective weather protection — Polycarbonate panels deliver consistent shielding from heat and rain while maintaining a lightweight, easy-to-handle form. They offer dependable coverage without requiring extensive maintenance.
- Straightforward installation — DIY Carport Kits include all required materials and are suitable for weekend installation. Clear profiles and fittings support efficient assembly for both homeowners and tradespeople.
- Flexible sizing options — Kits are available in single (5.5m × 3.1m × 3.0m) and double (5.5m × 6.2m × 3.0m) configurations, with custom sizing available on request. This flexibility makes it easy to match different property widths and parking layouts.
If you require guidance on sizing or installation considerations, our team can provide measurements and support to help you choose the most suitable configuration.
Awning
An awning provides shade, rain protection and improved comfort for windows, doors, patios and storefronts. We supply outdoor awnings made from strong, transparent polycarbonate with a sleek, European-inspired design. These systems reduce heat transmission by up to 50%, making outdoor areas more usable during warm conditions.
Benefits of our awnings
- Reliable weather control — Polycarbonate sheets protect against rainfall and sun exposure while maintaining a clean appearance. Their transparency allows natural light without the full heat load.
- Strong and low maintenance — Awnings are fire-resistant, impact-resistant and designed for long-term stability. They require little upkeep, making them suitable for homes, shops and commercial entryways.
- Straightforward DIY installation — The Carb-O-Lite DIY Awning Kit includes brackets, fixing bars, seals and fasteners, providing everything needed for a smooth installation. Its lightweight components make handling and assembly easier for DIY users.
- Versatile applications — Suitable for windows, doors and sheltered outdoor zones, these awnings are a practical solution for properties seeking reliable coverage without extensive structural work.
