Nice. I like your idea for marking the center of the braces to which the roof panels affix. I start my assembly today on gravel as well and will definitely use that idea to maintain squareness. Good idea and great video. Thanks
That drill is awesome! I love tools and I really like the old tools that built what has made this country. If you ever decide to adopt that beautiful drill please keep me in mind. I would love to have the pleasure of keeping it in the workplace and showing younger guys how simple and strong older tools are. Built to last, Not to fail!
If I ever decide to part with that screw gun as they used to call them, I’ll let you know. They don’t make them like that anymore. I even have a spare clutch but never had to use it. Thanks for watching.
The biggest problem I see with this because I live in New England is how the roof is. The way it's designed the snow won't slide off the roof and snow is heavy I would want those panels turned 90% and have to install gutters on each side. Even then I question if it's strong enough without some cross bracing to last a winter without collapsing.
Last winter we had some heavy snow, maybe up to 6 inches on the roof… held up pretty well. But in your case you could reinforce it somewhat. I forgot what the snow load is but I’m sure you could find out and look up the specs. Otherwise it’s been holding up pretty well. My only complaint is the condensation underneath and would drip on a car.
Right on, in the process of installing one myself 12X24x9 knew these issues when I ordered it but with winter nearly here price and quick deliver over took common sense figuring I can reinforce it with metal studs and stock corrugated roofing panels from Home Depot.
Caulk it so the water doesn't get into it, if it's not welded all the way around the water can get out. The instructions are for many size covers. On my install the short pieces were 8 inches long
I just bought my wife a new car so I’m about to buy an 18’ x 20’ or 20’ x 20’ metal carport. I think I’m gonna go 7’ tall. I want to get a 4 wheel drive truck eventually. I think 6’ might be too short to fit under. Thanks for the video. They don’t look too hard to put together.
@@KevininMTL No rust like I’ve heard some people complain about. I just looked at it carefully yesterday after all the snow we’ve had and I did notice one small leak between the roof panels. But it’s an easy fix. I’ve got it anchored down at all four corners and it didn’t move from what I could tell.
Have you had any issues having it so close to the house having rain run off near house foundation? I want to put one next to my garage but that’s been my concern
@Donedirt_Cheap No, but if that's a concern for you, consider installing rain gutters and direct them away from the house. Here, it never rains that hard.
@@doingdumbshi So far so good, no issues except some condensation sometimes underneath and drips on the boat, but I just put a tarp to keep the drips out. But no rust, holds up good in the wind, I’ve got it anchored in only the 4 corners.
Looks good. Don't know how it is anchored. Are the anchors and instructions included? I would use small concrete footings and anchor bolts. I will do the two car 20 x 24. At least yours is covered on two sides.
Great video. I just have a question, how did you get the drill between the house or vinyl fence and the braces to get those lower panels since it looks very close? Maybe with a 90 deg attachment? Ok Thanks.
It’s holding up great, we had a larger then normal snow load and lots of winds. Still looks like the day I installed it. It’s 9 in the center and 7 on the sides.
I suppose it depends on the city you live in! I didn’t need one. You would need to contact the manufacturer to find out how much weight you put on the carport.
It wasn’t easy, but managed to get a smaller drill in there and there’s a window I was able to work through for some of the holes. If there’s a will, there’s a way.
Thanks for the video. Did you get the 7’ or 9’ tall? I’m trying to do the same thing for my boat. Are you happy with it and does the boat fit okay under it?
@igorz3600 I can stand up in the boat under the cover with no problem. And I'm 5ft 11. I'm not sure how tall it is in the center but definitely tall enough. I would have to measure. So far it's been holding up as it should, no leaks except depending on the weather it has condensation and drips, so you may want to cover your boat if you don't want it to drip on your boat.
@@JackOfAllTrades2022 I purchased one of this today, June 9, 2022. Lowes has jacked up the price for this carport, to $ 1,799.00 + $79.00 for local delivery. In Riverdide County, Southern California.
@@myutube1960 That’s crazy… like everything else, it’s all going up. I picked mine up myself with my truck, but the price of the carport as gone way up.
Im getting ready to go help a friend put one of these up the exactly the same one we are both in are 70s I hope we can do it twice as fast thanks for the vidio
Just the to top, like you see in the video.. they holes are predrilled. And as far as the concrete piers, if your talking about the ones you buy at Home Depot or Lowe’s, not sure about how much wind you get, they may not be heavy enough in a strong wind. Maybe if you poured your own , at least at each corner. Hope that helps.
Not sure, they where already there when I moved here a few years ago. I’m in Nevada. Take a screenshot of the rocks and take it to your local rock stores.
Been seriously thinking of doing the same right next to my 42’x60’ Morton Pole Barn. I plan to go with either 2- 20 footer’s or 2- 24 footers. Haven’t decided as of yet or what brand to go with. My question to you or anyone else that have installed one of these. Will the steel roof handle a snow load. I am not just talking about any snow that may land on it while snowing but also snow that may slide off the Pole Barn Steel Roof onto it being it will be sitting next too because those vinyl tarp type 10 x 20’ Canopy’s that most places sell for sure will collapse. Don’t ask me why. The other thing is I am 71 years old looking to do this job. Curious what it would cost me to have it installed? I am in New Jersey. I have no idea who to even call to get a estimate to see what that cost would be. Not afraid to tackle it myself but just curious what labor might be for someone else to do it.
I’m 70 and did it by myself, we get snow here but only 2 to 4 inches. Handled it very well. I bought that one at Lowes, you might want to ask them if they install and check out the specs for the snow load. I’m sure you get lot more snow. It wasn’t hard to install. Two people would be real easy.
@@JackOfAllTrades2022 I called Lowes today and was told they don’t have installers to install them. I have had some health problems the reason I am looking for a installer at this point in time. The frame I don’t see a problem with but to get up on a ladder for the roofing material could possibly be a problem for me.
@@ffas23 I understand, I had back surgery since I installed the Carport, not because I installed the carport, I’ve had back problems for many years before that. What I’m getting at, is that even with my back hurting, I was still able to do it. But I understand that at our age we shouldn’t even be on ladders. You might try looking for a handyman in your area. Marketplace on Facebook or Craigslist. A son or son in law? Grandkids? Younger brother? And you just guide them on how you want it done. Every time I hire someone, I’m right there making sure it’s done right ( my way). Or Angie’s List in your area. Wish I could help you more. Good luck, hope you find someone. Get recommendations from neighbors? Not easy, I know. I’m all alone myself, except for my wife and she’s older then me. She did help me carry the frame from the garage to the side of the house. I just took my time with each panel. All I have is time.. good luck.
Just fine, if you take your time, don’t try to do it all in one day ( and I used to be that way ) not anymore, I’m retired and take all the time I need. But it’s better if you have 2 people. My wife did help me bring the verticals from the garage to the side of the house, and she’s 75.
Probably one day, 2 days at the most… the frame went up in no time at all. The panels with 2 guys should go up pretty fast and easy. I have back issues and 70 years old, and I took my time, but 2 guys should be able to do it quickly.

Awesome job setting it up! I just got an Arrow 12x20 carport and after 1 week its already rusting and we havent even had rain. Have you had any rust??
@@SzymczykProductions No rust… but then again, I live in a low humidity area… still looks like new. is that possibly the problem? Where do you live?
Did it not come with any foam seal tape with this kit to prevent water leaks on your roof panels? Or did I not see that part.
Yes it did come with the foam tape, I just didn’t show it I guess.
Thank you for the video ! It is really helpful

Good job
Thanks for the video. Now with a year and a half how is it holding up?

Thanks, yeah I bet it wasn't much fun when it came to those.
What was the height of your carport. 7’ or 9’. As of now, how is the carport holding up?
It’s holding up great, we had a larger then normal snow load and lots of winds. Still looks like the day I installed it. It’s 9 in the center and 7 on the sides.
Do you need a city permit? Also how much weight can you put on top? Want to put solar panels to charge my car?
I suppose it depends on the city you live in! I didn’t need one. You would need to contact the manufacturer to find out how much weight you put on the carport.
How it holding up? Any rust yet?
Cheers
Not yet..holding up good and we’ve had lots of rain and snow and wind.
I have to do a carport , so how did you do the roof up next to the house , space is small, how did you drill in the screws, you had about 6" or less.
It wasn’t easy, but managed to get a smaller drill in there and there’s a window I was able to work through for some of the holes. If there’s a will, there’s a way.
