Why did they recommend you start at the top? I would think you’d want the seems overlapping the way you built it to prevent water running down inside it.
Awesome. Trying to get a few ideas. To buy a small used metal carport as a beginning for a small horse barn. Great you all worked as a family, as I’m watching- I’m trying to figure how I can manage to do some of the heavier more cumbersome portion by myself, As it’s always an uphill battle to get any help from my wife or children… So I’m kinda on my own, so have to be very creative.
I'm considering doing this to our carport for the same reason as making it into a goat barn. I'm curious if you guys did anything to make a door on it? Also, out of curiosity, what's the general location of your farm?
Did you put a ridge vent on the roof are you having a problem with any condensation everything I read you have to put in a ridge vent on it to be able to close it up without having condensation problems I live in Whidbey Island Washington I would really appreciate the answer how to vent it properly
We haven’t had any issues with condensation but it is very open so it allows a lot of air circulation right now. The way we ran our tin the ridges run lengthways so that allows for it to let condensation and heat out but I would talk with some local barn builders in your area to make sure that would work. Thanks for the comment!
It stays close to the same temp as outside since it has an open alleyway but it helps keep the wind and rain off the livestock inside. We are probably going to add some doors on this year just to be able to block even more wind etc off on any animals we have inside
We haven’t yet. We plan on doing so when lumber prices calm down but for now we have used it with temporary stalls and use it for brooding our meat chickens before they go out to the chicken tractor
I can't remember the exact count. I will try to find our invoice and get back to you but I believe the total cost for the tin was right around $1000 and that was also enough tin to replace the old roof. The quotes we where getting from companies to enclose it for us on up in the $1000s that we decided to just do it ourselves.
I'm thinking about inclosing my carport. I already have tin on the sides I just need to inclose the two ends but I'm wanting to make a storage/shop out of mine and cement floor with a roll-up door. I think I have enough materials to do this I just need the know how.
this is by far the most practical way to covert i've seen on YT
I really like this nice job 👍
Outstanding job! From Texas.

Where did you find your metal I live in Alabama need to know where you can buy that those panels from
@@anthonythigpen586 we picked ours up from Yoder Metalworks in Cullman AL. They deliver at a great price!
Love it, I subscribed.. Indiana

That looks nice I wish I had your help doin mine
Thank you!
Where did you buy the siding?
I want a big one thinking 25by40
Why start at the top instead of the bottom?
Barn looks great! I’m going to do the same with my 20X20. How did you guys brace the 4X6 post to the top rails?
We used “L” brackets to brace ours up
What is the material on the outside ? Cant tell if its vinyl, aluminum or tin

How warm does this stay in the winter

I’m curious what was the overall cost to do that.
Looks great!!
