I liked your reinforcement ideas. More cost effective for a renter than lumber. Not to mention less labor intensive etc. I Just may use you idea as it works the best for me from all others I have seen. However the only thing I think I will add is plumbing pipe insulation tubing over the turn buckles extending out over the cable ends just to keep the side from potentially tearing on windy day. Thanks for sharing your video, very helpful.
The structure is not the problem, just put it together and run some self tapper screws in the joints. The tarp is the problem. Sunlight kills it pretty fast.
I've put mine together- with some of your modifications in mind. I've found that HD ratchet straps (being a 'commodity' item) vs. all the necessary components in a cable/turnbuckle/etc. setup were a more reasonable option. Most are rated 1-2K# breaking strength, so should be adequate in less than the most catastrophic conditions. We'll see. I'd like to see a followup of how this worked for you.
This just seams like alot for a 200$ car port. Definitely will work and there's great ingenuity involved. Fyi I own 3 10-17 tents myself, and I've also modified them to great success. Actually had one pull up it's anchors and roll across the yard with no damage. Lol
Won't the tarp blow and rub against all of that wire cabling and whatnot, causing it to tear and wear down faster? In my mind, something like ratchet straps would be better as they aren't as rough. Covering any nuts, bolts, or other hardware with plumbing pipe insulation could also help prevent early wear and tear. Just some thoughts. :)
I would like to mention to people considering this garage is you can buy replacement ends and top tarps from Harbor Freight, add /parts to the URL to get there. The tarp top last about 2 years, then water will start coming thru.
I screwed metal 12ft sheets on the roof mine also bought a v cap for the roof to keep water out...screwed it to the panels with little round metal disk for support and clear silicone for the screwsI can add metal walls too screw leg down on cement floor screw legs to pole caps then to floor screwed legs to joints for support. Perfect long durable ..shelter
Great ideas. The X is the strongest reinforcement a guy could use. In the future be mindful of the camera. Moving it too fast is a major distraction. Makes some folks sea sick.
@@stemyourfuture6875 I hope the car was okay!! Goodluck and thanks for taking the time to reply! You may have saved another few cars! We don't have much snow here but lots of rain! So similar reinforcement concerns!
Mine did too. I replaced with just the top cover style. I remover cover in winter. Tree branch came down and bent the pipes. I bought another kit. I used the old cover and now have extra new cover. I still remover cover in winter. I use this shelter to keep the pine sap off my truck in the spring summer fall @@stemyourfuture6875
I really wanted to see your video, your camera moving so fast was making me a little sick. I may be just getting "OLD" If you do a update maybe you could not swing the camera around so fast. I subscribed to not miss it.
They Got Gorilla Tape now its almost impossible to fall off in any type of weather and lmao let me tell you Try to pull it off you would rip the whole tent trying to get that stuff off
You get Hurricane type wind and that shed is torn apart. The slightest tear or wear area becomes larger and that’s all it takes. I had this very structure, and the wind blew right thru the front. With no way for wind to escape, poof it was destroyed. Now, I’ve allowed side openings, still secured to not allow rain or other forms cold weather in, and thus far it has held up to the latest hurricanes to hit Louisiana in 2021.

Could use some pool noodles to cover the cable wire to prevent tearing

Yes it will
Pool noodles

Why not use metal electrical conduits instead of PVC? They are about the same price and much stronger.
Its now oct 2021 how sid it hold up
Look ok wish u could have shown more of ur reinforcement and less shaking
Really need to slow the camera movement. The quick pans and unnecessary movement does make me sick, but I like the reinforcement ideas.
With all the money spent on reinforcement I would spray it with rhino liner
NICE, IM LOOKING TO USE THIS FOR A GREEN HOUSE BUILD. FOR WINTER 2021, MIGHT TURN INTO A GAME OF THRONES AROUND HERE
Being that its January now, how did the structure hold up? Could we get a possible update video, Thank you!
No
Great job how's she holding up?
I put my wife's 124 abarth spider in ours, and with south Louisiana's 100% humidity, the interior started to mildew! Just saying
How about an update? How is it holding up?
Collapsed under snow load upgrading to a shed as we speak
Thanks. I live in an area with snow so I will give it try. Good video review.

I still remover cover in winter.

I have the same or very similar car in my garage! Mine's a black 99 trans Am 6 speed 72k miles
Well done 👍.
How did it do in snow?
A lot of effort BUT the cover will still rip up in couple years. I appreciate your effort though
100.00 in extra parts vs 50.00 2 year extended warranty. You do the math.

Let me have a lay down, I feel sick, your camera's all over the place, you need to slow it down, good idea though.

so he thought that 4 bricks would hold all that down? smh
