Metal Car Port TIME LAPSE Construction

[@ryebarrell1869]

That is exactly how I was thinking of building flat roof carport. Have a 18.6 wide driveway, so was going to do a 20' x 30' Carport. Using 3 1/2 by 1/2 wall drilling pipe, 4/poles @ 10" ctr's, on each side and doubling the 6" C Purlins at the poles ( one on each side kinda like a I beam) with one in the middle span of each pole set so I could walk on the roof if needed. Something like Receiver channel or 10" C Purlin for 3 sides, that way it will look flat but I can build a small slope for rain off the back side. Will have 6" panels on the long sides for Sun block. And all welded together. You did a great job with yours, we are up to deciding paint colors now, will start soon.

Can you elaborate on the size and thickness of the purlins ( c channel) used ? What is the span you are overcoming ( width ) and also what pitch have you used on the roof ? What is the clearance on the highest and lowest points in the roof ? Finally can you let me know what kind of metal paint you used ? ( the black one ) . You built the carport that I have drawn out on paper , I have a 28' width to overcome and by the looks of it you are in the same size range ? Thanks in advance for any info you can pass along.

They are 2x8” 14guage 25’ C receivers and C purlins. The purlins are probably spaces 4-5 feet apart in the receivers. All bolted together with 1/2” thick bolts. Long ones for going into the posts 5” and 1/2” for receiver to purlin. The description says their diagonals are both 30’ so you can calculate the sides.

Looks good. I been debating on what size to build so I can store my 2 trucks, trailer and tractor. I was thinking on a 20x30 using 6" purlin but due to max span of 18 means I would need 6 poles versus 4.

Next time use 60lb bags and a bucket with a drill and mixer auger. You can mix a bag in like 6 seconds 😂 its even faster when you have a bucket that will hold the exact amount of water you need

What is the thickness of the square support posts? They look to be the red iron oxide super thin ones.

Just built a 23x20 (Backyard tractor and welding )

How you put together without welding

[@CarloDominique]

Hey man I got a question about the carport how exactly do you go about to apply for a permit to be able to build the structure?

[@AsidMoneyMakr]

How much? For all the material?

[@glebdeguzman]

What are the material used?

Why was ur pitch so drastic? Where do you live?
