What each one is for.
A carport protects vehicles. A pergola creates an outdoor living space. They look similar from the street but they solve different problems.
Roof differences.
Carports usually have a solid Colorbond or polycarbonate roof for full weather protection. Pergolas can be open-roofed, slatted, or solid — depending on what you want underneath.
Cost.
Carports tend to be cheaper for the same footprint, because they're simpler structures. Pergolas with feature roofing, lighting and fans cost more.
Council approval.
Both usually need council approval in Adelaide depending on size and setbacks. We can guide you through it.
