I have 20x24 and same pins in gravel pad. I had to drive steel post in each corner and connect with chain bolted to the tubing. The wind came up one night and skid steer bucket and tractor bucket held it down over night. It had been lifting up a good 18 inches
Sounds like you’re lucky you didn’t lose it. That’s why I added the louver to the back of mine. I took a video of the Louvers working on a very windy day and it helped a ton. I know when I had to move mine to get the driveway resurfaced and I couldn’t get it nailed back down right away I did the same thing and used my fork lift and wheel loader to hold it down for the night.
It looks like you did a fine job! When I do the shelter logic I decided that I am going to completely enclose it so I won’t need louvers in the back, but I like the way you built your walls.👍🏻
@@beesprojects2692 Thanks I might be tearing it all down and putting it on a trailer .. I might be making it into a home after we loss our Tiny Home in a fire
appreciate the video-ingenuity inspires ideas-gonna go with a versatube frame-sheet it myself-i hate wet wood-tired of buying tarps-glad i came across your video
I have one of those smaller canvas covered carports. Mine only lasted about two years before the Kansas wind absolutely destroyed the fabric. I also have that same roofing metal in 22 foot sheets. After the wind destroyed the original cover, I considered putting that metal roofing on the tube structure. I'm glad I just happened to run across your video, because now I'm definitely going to do it.
Depending on size steel studs can go as thick as 10ga with a G90 coating. Hell, they build houses and apartment building with them (floors and walls). You are correct in the you need shear support and bracing for loads.
put the logs in firs. Then the kiln Dried scraps, then the newsprint, the newsprint will heat the flue and establish a draft and burn hot enough to burn the wood scraps. No diesel needed!.
Sounds great, I have old diesel that I need to use up after I replaced the tank on my diesel pickup so I’ll try that after it’s gone. About 3-4 gallons left.😁 nice tip!
I built one to cover my 12k truck lift hoist , it was 15'3" at the peak , 20 x 20 , the hurricane beat it into the ground , twisted it up , and threw it over the house and service wire , right in my scrape steel pile , stuck the trusses sideways up a tree , 20 ft up the tree ..
Glad we don’t get hurricanes! 😅 a couple of years ago we got some straight line winds that cleared a heavily wooded area very close to the carport and it did good but obviously that doesn’t last as long as a hurricane.
Interesting. I have one of those shelter logic hoop sheds and the fabric covering failed - the UV from the sun killed it. I kept the frame thinking I could do something like this, now I know how, thanks xD.
I’ve seen guys screw 2x4 boards across the hoops on the outside and then overlay the metal on the boards. I could see this working fine but I didn’t do it because I figured it would just be another point if failure and would cost more. I am very surprised with how this has held up. Just be sure to brace one side like I did or it can be a little flimsy, that bracing made all the difference in stiffening the structure up.👍🏻
@@beesprojects2692 I will pour a pad of concrete under mine and anchor it down - concrete is the one thing that hasn't gone up in price (yet - knock on wood) where I live. I will close in the back like what you did as well.
Yes I could have but I wanted to keep it easily movable. When I had my driveway coated I actually picked It up and moved it and then put it back. I have two forklifts and some 21 foot fork extensions that were used for carrying boats around a marina and that worked perfectly to pick it up and move it out of the way.😁 The long term plan is to move both of these in to the back yard and build a garage starting where the back of the carports are now. So to me it made more sense to do it like this. I’m glad you liked the video, thanks for watching.
How much did it cost you to have the blacktop put in? And did you have to level everything out or put down gravel or anything before they black topped?
So the blacktop was already there but the grindings were not. The grindings cost me $17 per ton and each truck could haul 16-17 ton. Each truck was $100 for delivery. So about $375 per truckload. I paid someone $300 to dig it out and then I spread the grindings myself with my wheel loader. Hopefully that answers your question
Yes, the big one has 5/8 re-rod stakes 2 feet long, 5 on each side, and then the back wall is lag bolted down to the asphalt. The small one is cable tied to screw anchors at all 4 corners.
@@beesprojects2692 oh alright just wanted to know if you can mount them down some kinda way cause I saw a nice one on Amazon for around 1k and I wanna buy that just so I can close it all in with a working door and all that so I can parku antique car inside there and perhaps have enough space to work around inside there
I am a new diyer. I am trying to figure how did you attach the metal frames to the top of the metal frame of carport when building back wall and at bottom? Do you have a video of you building this ? This is exactly how I would want to close my carport. I currently only have half sides and no back or front
I used Phillips head self drilling screws to attach the metal studs to the carport frame and also used the self drilling screws to attach the metal studs to each other to build the wall. 👍
Great video. My question is the metal studs in the back wall how did u attach to frame at the top. U say u used screws but how and did u cut the metal studs at angle?
I got it when I bought the kit at Menards.👍 If I ever build another one I will go to a local sheet metal place and have it made in one piece. It’s cheaper and won’t have to seal where the sheets join.
@beesprojects2692 you mentioned the harbor freight structure you bought the 21 ft panels because it was a tarp structure, you got the metal for that one also at menards?
No I got the panels for the other one from a local supplier that makes it and cuts it to length. Both the two car and tarp one were from Menards. I am sure you could do this with the harbor freight model but the crossmembers are further apart of the harbor freight ones and may need more reinforcement.
The asphalt grindings were $17 a ton at the time I bought them and it was $100 for each dump truck to run. I want to say each dump truck could hold 16 or 17 ton. So that would have been about $275 per delivery.
Why didn’t you choose a post frame building like a 24x24x8’ for like $7k, todays price, probably cheaper in 2019, that would have closed in everything?
Mostly because this was a short term solution. Eventually it will move to store my equipment and I will build a garage starting where the black top ends behind the carport. 👍
@@janeblogs324 when I bought the paneling it cost me $75 per 20 foot long sheet. That is pretty standard here. My brother put a new roof on his house with metal and he paid about the same before 2019.

I’m building a Quonset hut out of free trampoline frames off marketplace. Considering using the sheet metal like you did.
That’s a great idea! I can see that working well!👍😊
Thanks for the good ideas

What kind of anchors used,planning on gravel base
Hurricane anchors.

@@beesprojects2692 Yes that does help thank you so much for the reply
Do you have both of them mounted into the ground so that it won't move with strong winds
Yes, the big one has 5/8 re-rod stakes 2 feet long, 5 on each side, and then the back wall is lag bolted down to the asphalt. The small one is cable tied to screw anchors at all 4 corners.

Great video. My question is the metal studs in the back wall how did u attach to frame at the top. U say u used screws but how and did u cut the metal studs at angle?
I’ve done the same with 2 shelter logic hoops my oldest is 10 years and still standing just fine
That’s great! I kinda took a chance on this one because I didn’t know if it would survive or not. There’s not much info out there about doing this.
Love it
where did you get the 20ft lengths of metal panels ?
There is a roll form company near me that only sells this type of metal and charges by the foot. 👍
Where did you end up getting your sheet metal from?
I got it when I bought the kit at Menards.👍 If I ever build another one I will go to a local sheet metal place and have it made in one piece. It’s cheaper and won’t have to seal where the sheets join.

I just can't believe how expensive steel is in America. 1/3 the price in Ausfalia if you ring around. We have a steel supplier in every suburb
@@janeblogs324 when I bought the paneling it cost me $75 per 20 foot long sheet. That is pretty standard here. My brother put a new roof on his house with metal and he paid about the same before 2019.
Build a fire or build a carport?
Try Home Depot on the metal.
Thanks for the tip! Luckily, We have a local business that roll forms and cuts steel to length to whatever we need.
Great video thanks. Very helpful 👌 😊
