New Installation or Net Replacement
| Job | Single | Double |
|---|---|---|
| New shadeport | R4,500 - R10,500 | R7,500 - R15,000 |
| Net replacement on existing frame | R5,500 - R8,000 | R8,000 - R12,000 |
Net replacement can cost close to a basic new shadeport, because the net is made to measure and the old one must be removed. If the frame is rusted or undersized, compare both options. See shadeport net replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a single shadeport cost?
Published South African guides put a single shadeport at roughly R4,500 - R10,500 installed, depending on size, frame and fabric.
How much does a double shadeport cost?
Roughly R7,500 - R15,000 installed for a standard double. Cantilever and dome designs cost more.
Is a shadeport cheaper than a carport?
Usually. A single shadeport costs less than a single steel carport with an IBR roof, but it does not keep rain out.
Do shadeport prices include VAT?
Most published guides do not say. Ask each contractor whether VAT is included.
Is it worth replacing the net or buying a new shadeport?
If the frame is sound, replacing the net is usually cheaper. If the frame is rusted or too light, compare a new shadeport.
