Caravan Shelter: The Perfect Addition to Your Home

Help to protect your caravan and it’s longevity. A caravan or boat shelter is a perfect solution. A caravan carport will help to protect your investment from the elements. It will also add kerb appeal to your home by enhancing functionality and its appearance.

At Spanline Home Additions, we understand that every home is unique. We offer custom designs tailored to meet your specific needs and preferences. Our team of experts has 39+ years of experience in designing and building caravan shelters.

Comfort and quality of life

A caravan carport provides more than just protection; it offers comfort and convenience as well. When you have a dedicated space for storing your caravan, you can free up precious garage or driveway space for other purposes. Additionally, the space under the carport roof can be used for outdoor entertainment and recreation.

Family and community

As Australians, our homes are often the centre of family life, where memories are made with loved ones. For vanlife enthusiasts, a carport offers a dedicated area to pack and sort your van or use the space to share stories from the road during barbecues, parties, or picnics. The carport roof gives protection from harsh weather conditions like heavy rain and allows more outside time with less risk of sunburn.

Style and elegance

Our range of stylish carport designs complement any architectural style – modern or traditional. We use only premium materials that are designed to withstand Australia’s harsh weather conditions while maintaining their elegance over time.

Adam was very professional and skilful. He was very friendly and informed us of any issues. A couple of days he was late but made up for it. The bad wind was a set back but Adam handled it very safety and professionally.

So far I have just had a visit, assessment and quote from Scott Basman from Spanline, for alterations to my home. I found Scott very informative, attentive, and has plenty of ideas, and gives sound reasons for his recommendations. I would certainly invite his opinion and quote for quality work.

We recently had an opening roof and verandah extension done by Spanline and are very happy with the result. We have a Solar passive house and wanted an addition which was in keeping with our needs. Getting the winter sun into our house is very important to us and Spanline were very respectful of our needs. There were a few hiccups along the way during the build but Spanline were always quick to resolve any issues that came up. We cannot praise Dean our tradie onsite highly enough. He was always very professional and considerate of our needs. Thank you Spanline team.

Jamie gave great advice in suggesting that I could have new Insulated Roof Panels installed to the existing posts as they were sturdy, and it would save me money. The new panels look so good and will be much cooler in summer months, and also much quieter when it pours raining. Aaron was fantastic with the installation, from arrival to completion he was courteous. He cleaned up and removed rubbish after each stage of the work. Aaron is a very experienced builder. I am extremely happy with the finished roofing and Spanline was easy to communicate with, from the quoting process with Jamie to completion of the installation.

A big thank you to Nick, Frank, Jeff and the team at Spanline Illawarra. We had a room built onto the back of our house that has doubled our living area and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. It would be fair to say they exceeded our expectations. Frank came out and listened to what we wanted and with his experience in the industry provided suggestions on further improvements and design. Frank took care of all the approvals and this gave us pieces of mind. Nick came back to us with additional options and we are so glad we incorporated these. Nick kept us in the loop while the build was underway the communication was great. The build was completed in a very short timeframe, nothing was too much trouble and our home was kept clean and tidy. We have no hesitation recommending these guys we are so happy we used Spanline Illawarra.

He was knowledgeable and helped us choose a design that perfectly suited our needs. Josh handled the installation and did an excellent job. He was professional, efficient, and paid great attention to detail. The awning was installed to a very high standard, and the finished result looks amazing.
