    the PBR panels only cost 380 total in the most expensive state in the USA. CA. with our huge 9% sales tax. So if you have the frame and you want to get it permanent check out this video there will be more detailed videos on this subject so stay tuned and subscribe.
    and for your information I have three channels with similar videos on this subject they are all me

    Nice DIY work.
    I'm going to use and old 22 foot camping trailer. Strip the camper to the frame (it's crap anyway), new floor and then use walk-through scaffolding as the supports. You can buy the pipe fittings online for each corner and double them up to increase possible snow load. It being a trailer, the only restriction is 8 feet max width but it will never see the road. Having permanent trailer tags keeps code enforcement and DMV at bay and allows me to park it anywhere in my back yard. After a couple years in the sun, the factory panel coating may degrade and just buy some tint-able roll-on bed liner and seal it up good from the outside. Don't forget a wide lockable door insulation and ventilation. Best part is you can do it in stages.

    Except for the concrete floor, "THIS" is how I'm planning to redo my Harbor Freight 10 X 17 ft. "PORTABLE GARAGE"!!! Since I live "Out In The Middle Of Nowhere", I don't have any of those "RIDICULES ZONING RULES" you were forced to conform to. I lived in a small town with a population of less than 1,500 for about 12 years & the zoning "Whatevers" there were pretty hard to understand. Although I'd lose that what, extra 1 foot of floor width due to it's slanted sides, I was planning to make the walls vertical (Plumb) as you did by bending them in a little. Thanks for making this video to show us how you converted what was pretty close to a tent into an actual building. By the way, I've got a few of "THOSE PUT AWAY PLACES" as well so you're not alone (I was glad to hear I that there's other people who HAVE STUFF IN "PUT AWAY PLACES"). It would be nice to find those places, wouldn't it? Thanks again for this video. Good job!!!

    I have a similar set up. Instead of the frame kit, I used galvanized fence pipe and found connecting joints online. I was able to get the joints in the angles I needed. I also increased it from 4 legs/cross members to 7. This made it considerable stronger than the kit frame. It did cost a little more though.

  • @figmojustfigmo3820
    @figmojustfigmo3820 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Love the idea. Have 2 mods I would make to this since I live in heavy snow country:
    1. Mount the roof panels the other way (vertically) to support snow sliding off.
    2. Buy a 2nd $200 HF garage, cut the horizontal poles in the middle and install the vertical poles from the 2nd kit there. This should give the 3’ spacing you’ll need to attach the panels vertically while at the same time DOUBLING the weight it can support before the poles start to bend. Couldn’t buy wood to reinforce any cheaper than that.
    Since the roof panels will lose their rigidity mounted in this way I know I’ll need some sort of purlings to give rigidity to the panels so they don’t bow and pull the vertical poles toward each other. Thinking 1.5” conduit. One row about half way down the roofline on each side might do. Maybe two per side if I feel it needs it.

    I made a structure similar to this - but I added 2/2s as purlins on the roof and attached to the metal rafters using galvanized 2 hole U shaped steel straps to hold them to the rafter pipes (screwed up from underneath). I screwed my roofing directly into the purlins and ran them vertically for rain drainage. This made the roof stronger for my climate. I also built one of these where I doubled up the frame , cutting the plate and ridge poles in half (people often get rid of their frames on Craigslist - just found one that was the same as mine and cut the pipes with my sawmill using the pipe studs and pipe rafters and connecters). Again, made the roof stronger for snow load.

    One thing that may important to some people. PBR panels are painted at the factory, after they are cut to size. The painting method is intended to provide protection from moisture. If you cut a panel, you cut that protection and will soon have rust. It is best not to cut them at all, but if you do, be sure that you follow the manufacturers instructions to reseal those edges.

    Great job! I have one of the larger frames and have been thinking about doing this same thing. This is the very first I've ever seen. You done a great job putting it together. Yep my frame is from the tent type storage shed and I will be honest, it was ok But the tent fabric lasted only two years. The sun rotted the fabric in no time. So now after seeing your video I'm gonna do the same thing but when it comes the roof panels, I might ask the metle company if they can groove only one section of a sheet and leave the rest flat. That way I can have a smooth roof rain and snow run off. Again great job. Thanks for sharing. You now have a new subscriber.... Thumbs Up !

    • @magicone9327
      @magicone9327 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Goodolboy One no grooves/ribs equals no strength. Just add wood or metal purlins to the roof at 90° to the frame and install the metal parallel to the frame or opposite to what this Video shows. End result is rain and snow will run off. Could gutter it also! With the wood purlins the strength of the roof will increase dramatically!

    using screw eyes on frame bolts allows x brace cables inside 3/4 conduit especially on end sections. Built green house with same frame. An alternative inside sheathing is FRP sheets or Diebond (thin layers of aluminum with Polypropylene core. Both cut with circular saw either lap and glue/screw or use a backer on seams and glue/screw to that. Both are water/vermin proof will add resistance to racking and if glue and screwed make a stress skin panel. Same with outer panels. Metal building catalogs have exterior trim, foam insulation strips, and simpson plates for mounting lights, roof vents, hinges for doors.

    This is a great way to do it. I can't hardly buy 1-1/4" x 10 ft. conduit and bend it myself for that price. The conduit is $17.00 each, and it will take 10 before it's over, and yours is already powder coated white, and has the anchor hardware.

    • @mikesrandomvideos
      @mikesrandomvideos  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      yea that is exactly why I bought the hf one instead. I was going to buy the conduit but it was more expensive and didnt have the connectors. all together it would have been much more to use conduit and more work.

    Nice job. Need something like this for the boat. They charge a fortune to shrink wrap and this would be paid for in just a few seasons of paying for that wrapping.

    I have a Costco brand one that is 10X20. It houses my wood shop. It was $200. I’ve replaced the roof twice ($70 a pop). I’ve always wanted to enclose it better and I think you just gave me the way. I’ll be researching my local options tomorrow! Thanks!

      if you don't want to go with metal look up companys that sell the tarps with signage for billboards, lasts for years and some are 45ft x25ft, usually less than a hundred bucks. the last one i purchased i actually found a guy that had several new ones for 120.00, the used ones have the billboard sign on one side and black on the other, great tarps.

    In most of the states in this country it’s not illegal to keep the full size of the original structure frame as long as one side is not closed on one end except with a tarp or something to that effect. It is in the national building code.

    Wow I love this! I had looked at the Harbor Freight carport but the reviews were not that good due to flimsy construction. This adds a whole new dimension to the strength of the structure. Quick question, did you bend a panel to overlap the roof crest or is there another way to join the top and make it waterproof? Thanks for any info! New Sub!

  • @danielanderson2030

    Hah. About 2 moths ago i just did the same to make a new horse shelter. Took a pole tent i already had (i have atleast 20 frames worth of pipe and fittings) cut it down, took the scrap sheets they used to cover my roof panels in transit when i did my roof 2 years ago, and some plywood since its a horse, id rather she mess up wood then the metal and possibly slice herself severely. I bought a box of screws and some hat track for extra support/mounting locations. Was into it for about 150 bucks not including the cost of what i had laying around.

      HF has a 10x20ft canopy kit that would be perfect. It's also $100 on sale right now. The cost is lower on these because it only comes with a tarp roof, not canvas walls like the 10x17 garage - which you won't use anyway, so why spend more money on a smaller kit?
