Whether you’ve just moved into a new home or you’re looking to update your current home, we are here to tell you that Pilbara Sheds has some great affordable options to make the outside of your house more comfortable. From easy, custom designed patios that allow you to better use your outdoor space to affordable carport options to protect your car, boat or caravan, our team has seen it all. If you’ve been considering adding some new features to your outdoor space, we are here to tell you why it’s so important to have a patio and carport when living in the Pilbara.
The Pilbara Weather Creates Unique Living Conditions
One of the best things about living in Australia is our beautiful, warm and sunny weather. But if you live in the Pilbara you know that the heat and exposure to the sun is at a different level to other areas of the country, especially in the summer.
The hot and dry Pilbara conditions presents unique challenges for those of us who live here. Unlike in other parts of WA, residents of the Pilbara need to plan their homes according to the warm weather and higher UV exposure. This is why it’s important to protect your vehicles, equipment and machinery and plan your backyard to allow adequate shade and protection from the sun.
The Benefit to Having a Patio and Carport Attached to Your Home
Whether you’re looking at building an extra carport to house your new boat or finally extending your patio to allow a more functional outdoor space, there are many benefits to having a carport or patio attached to your home. These benefits include:
- It’s an inexpensive way to shield your car, boat or other vehicles from the damage that can be caused by the sun
- Carports can be designed to almost any size and specification, which means they can be built for something as small as a hatch back to as large as a truck.
- Gives you better access to your backyard (or front yard) during the warmer months by protecting you and your family from the sun.
- Provides substantial shade in your backyard, meaning you can use your backyard all year round.
- A patio or carport adds value to your home – from the basic flat roof carport to a stylish gable roof carport, there are options to suit every home.
- A patio creates the perfect entertaining space.

We know that school and sporting storage differs depending on its intended purpose, and we can customise your shed to suit its intended purpose
We have a strict budget, can you work to that?
We sure can! Both public and private schools have budgets they need to adhere too, and we completely understand that you will have a limit on what you’re able to spend. We will work with you to design a shed that isn’t only high quality, but also cost-effective within the set budget you have available.
Are your sheds built for the Pilbara environment?
As Pilbara locals, we know the importance of building a school or sport shed that is able to withstand the Pilbara elements. Safety and durability is at the forefront of our shed builds, so when you purchase one of our sheds, you can be rest assured that it’s built for what ever the Pilbara can throw at it.
Can we include storage solutions in our design?
Unlike a residential or commercial shed, school and sport sheds usually need to be designed to cater for a large amount of small equipment. Soccer balls, tennis racquets, goal posts or desks and chairs, we can assist you in creating an internal fit out to best suit your needs. Our distributorship Fair Dinkum Sheds can assist us to provide customised buildings to suit every situation.
