Hey Sam the only thing I noticed was a few concrete piers didn't exactly lineup with metal studs but looks beautiful and structuraly sound great job☺️👍

[@theappliancequeen9207]

I'm thinking the pier needed to be moved over a little almost didn't have enough room to screw on the base but hey it's all good it worked and both you'll did a great job.

[@mh53eflyguy]

I saw that, I was wondering why it wasn't being mounted on top.

[@Crumpman]

I'm thinking the same thing.

[@markholmes1346]

Yep that had to be it

[@jcmhanel1]

That team putting the shed together was amazing!

[@timcritz3194]

Looks like on one side the piers were too far off center. Hopefully what ever type of concrete fasteners were used are not too close to,the edge.

[@danmooney7192]

The only thing that caught my attention was some of the base mounting screws looked a little close to the edge of some the piers

[@OneBrightLightTN]

Was the framing put on the pillars centered? From some angles it looked like it was right on the edge

[@walkincontradiction5214]

The brackets were bolted down center so do it wouldnt matter if the uprights looked on tje edge

[@bigdave6194]

I have one same size on a 6inch slab with walls. Has a roll up shop door on one end and a metal standard door and a window. I did the slab. They came out and had mine up in 10hrs. They always bring extra material in case something messes up. I ended up with enough spare square tubing and metal to make a lean to off one side big enough to put my 20ft center console boat under. It is truly amazing how quick they can put these things up!

[@momo-agogo]

Wow! Thats an impressive structure! I'm curious.... did you two expect it to be that awesome? Btw, I really dig how you matched the roof with your shed roof!

[@markholmes1346]

Have you thought about closing in the back and sides? Not necessary but would be cool! Looks really good with the matching roof with the shed! Great addition to the homestead! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

[@SciaticaDrums]

He stated on another video that they are planning to add siding on the walls later on.

[@bigdave6194]

We have these type buildings here to stack hay rolls under. You can buy a large roll up canvas etc side for them. Open when you want it. Drop when some shade or wind blockage needed.

[@kathrynmauro8673]

It's definitely a game changer. You both were correct letting the crew build it. It's obvious they do this regularly. It looks fantastic! Now you can put your tractors 🚜 🚜, truck 🛻, and car 🚗 inside.

[@ttandme69]

Will you guys be adding a gutter system to collect rainwater for the gardens???

[@jonathanrivera7300]

Como siempre los latinos trabajando duró buen trabajo

[@henrymorgan3982]

Might want to eventually add "some" skirting on the sides and maybe on the end. Rain and wind usually come together. Great video!

[@JHT56]

Any plans to add sides ? More weather protection. Also company match up roof color with your other buildings very good . Look forward to seeing what you end up putting, storing , parking in there . A lot of rain and snow cover this winter

[@tracymclaughlinholmes677]

He said in the first video discussing it that they are planning on enclosing the three sides making it into an enclosed carport. As long as he doesn't close the fourth side making it a garage it'll still show as a carport on insurance.

[@gnomeincentralGA]

A wonderful addition to your homestead - work or play!! And aren't you glad to have it done in ONE day without lifting a finger (except the ones writing the check). The crew did a great teamwork job.

[@texiandave8193]

Install crew was good ! I'm guessing base not centered on concrete posts ?

[@wvover8079]

Im wondering if that was because the piers where too far apart width wise to be able to center. or if they didnt center when placing....?

[@thepatsyfamily]

The only thing I see, from a non-technical or trained eye, is the slightly bent or wavy tin roof at 12:32. But that doesn't align with the clue you gave us at 14:03.

[@heffe2001]

Only thing I can figure you're talking about at the end is the where the base mounted on the piers? I was also going to ask if you're planning on any guttering around any of your outbuildings? With as much roof space as you guys have around there now, you could do some major rainwater harvesting if you wanted...

[@DIYBuilt]

That’s a great addition to your space. Those guys make it look easy, awesome job!

[@crinkle2649]

Well that was cool to watch. You saved yourselves time and money, because you would have had to pay doctor bills and marriage counseling bills 😂 if you did it yourselfers

[@leethebee1560]

Great addition your gonna love it. We had a 20x20 built for us, we use it all the time.. I live in AZ the desert therefore have placed shade screen on both side to shield from the sun , it helps immensely. Also i built sheds for the end of my shed where the tools go. Enjoy it.

[@Bunefoo401]

Great idea with the shade cloth and tool shed

[@lauriedutcher5676]

What I noticed, and thought right away, oh no, they are putting the roof pieces on wrong side up! Then I thought when you showed a shot from above, I decided you had that done to match your other roof colors. My husband and I have made two smaller units similar to this, and let me tell you, those arches are heavy, and the whole thing is a lot of hard work, and there were holes where we missed screwing the roof and side on.

[@georgedavidson1221]

Hello. Does. Anyone. Read. Comments. How. Do. I. Get. More. Information on. This. Build. Please.

[@joniwarren3100]

We had 2 0f these buildings put up. 28x40.. bought one from Florida based and one from Texas based. 2 guys showed up. One of them was the same for both buildings. He claimed that all the companies that sell these buildings are all under 1. Even though the prices were different. We were in Oregon and this guy lived in Oregon but traveled all over. It still only took 1 day for one of the buildings and on the 2nd one, he was sick so 1 guy put up the entire building in 2 days by himself while Ramondo (the boss) was in the pickup sick. Was so awesome watching them work. He literally carried 20’ pieces of roofing up by himself and walked around on the roof installing it.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Our 44x55 shop is built like this on a slab. We love it. Will build another for a 2 car garage.

[@paulinesmith61]

Hi Sam and Angela. That’s a really nice carport, etc..! I’m sure you will get many years of use out of it.😊

[@poyner2]

Absolutely great crew and a wonderful addition to your homestead. I think that some of the piers being off centre from the frame anchors is not really a big problem for the build as it is not really going to matter as the weight of the building will keep it secured to the piers. The main thing I noticed was that the gable end trim was under the roofing sheets. This could be a big problem when the winds pick up as this could cause uplift on the end of the sheets and rip it off. Great partnership between you both and always a treat when a notification that Green Acre Homestead has posted pops up. Well done on the great work and wonderful vlogs.

[@marysidle5132]

Absolutely love it!!! So excited to see your homestead come together like this. GOD bless

[@darleneclark6098]

Hey when did you do the metal roof on your workshop? Yeah I'm guessing whoever put the pillars up had some wabby sabby going on lol. It all worked out thank goodness

[@joniwarren3100]

Before you start parking anything under it..be sure to go around really good and look for dropped screws.. they do drop them. Lol

[@kwells8807]

Yep! Get out the metal detector! You know there are screws in that area!!!! I'm still finding them 3-1/2 yrs later! The equipment-port look fantastic!!!! 😊

[@debinbc]

My mom was of the thought that if the guys were working and doing a good job that you fed them up and they never forget a kindness ❤

[@bobbennett3153]

Set lunch up in advance, and they will truly love it But keep it lite

[@karlabrown1954]

What an awesome structure for your homestead! What a huge blessing it will be!

[@marcberm]

Although the piers all fall relatively in line with the sill plates, the vertical supports themselves don't land well on their corresponding piers. Spacing must have been different than calculated. Really, the first thing "wrong" I saw was the giant hornet's nest hanging next to the door of the adjacent outbuilding! Yikes!!!

[@sam-and-angela]

That's a fake nest to deter real ones. LOL

[@marcberm]

@@sam-and-angela Lol 😂

[@soniadavies6220]

The truck/equipment port looks great!! Everything is looking great at the homestead!! I love your channel and your family!! God bless!

[@maddex2000]

We’re waiting on ours to arrive. I hope they do as good a job as they did with yours. We went with the vertical roof too.

[@cchambers8632]

Will you need a load of gravel at the end where it looks like just dirt? Are you planning on adding metal sides, at least half way down from the top? The roof seems far from the ground so driving rain would blow in at least half way across where your tractor is parked. Do you have a plan for storage above the vehicles? Maybe it is just the video but there seems to be a great deal of space under the roof. Looks good and nice to have you equipment under a roof and out of most of the weather.

[@janetkoball44]

Thanks so much for bringing us along on this unique build. I believe all of your family will enjoy it. See you all next time.

[@cathybrewer8958]

So happy for you being able to have them build it for you. So much better than all the sweat and tears you would have gone through. A lot bigger than I thought it would be. You two work so hard anyway this was a free pass for you. Neat and clean too.

[@thesplinteredfinger]

I’m sure there are options you could add from the company that put this up. I saw Lowe’s has some roof panels that are textured that might provide some sound deadening from rain. It will be interesting to see how you dress it up. Excellent drone footage and music selection.

[@charlene5461]

I looove the rain hitting a metal roof!!💖

[@emilasmith4279]

Wow great building! Only thing that made me twitch were the side uprights didn’t center on the piers. Are you putting sides on it? ❤❤❤

[@elainebuchka6533]

Wow Those Guys Made it Look So Easy!! You made the Right Choice to HAVE IT DONE! Those Guys worked TOGETHER like a Well oiled Machine. I was thinking Picnices & Parties too..Can't wait to See Sam & Angela under that Disco ball dancing! God Bless...

[@davidbrooks6455]

Very cool. Wish the piers lined up better? You will love this addition.

[@jimdelong949]

A nice 20x40 umbrella for your tractors and vehicles. I like the party idea You could get a lot of people under there for a BBQ. I noticed Sam made sure the front lines up symmetrically with the shed. So happy for you guys

[@ChristianandFamily]

You mean the lack of centering on the "pillars of death"?

[@joeberry4179]

I love my 2 buildings, ended up adding sides later as the rain went sideways a few times. For the cost, I will say this is your best bet, looks great. I was promised American Eagles for the ends as advertised, but I got hosed, no eagles, so sad. You will be tweaking this building for years to come, elect, tool cabinet, fridg, mini bar, apartment, cell service, couches and tiki lamps, amen. Mine were Carolina carports, BTW.

[@robertbankhead8661]

Looks awesome and fast, Side walls to further stabilize and winterize???

[@justmejustme1245]

no offense Sam but you do not even come close to looking like a disco guy so don't waste your time or money on a disco ball. Please.

[@joelbrown4110]

The string lines on the back of the workshop are a little suspicious.

[@private15]

Wow. Those guys are awesome. Definitely a 3 man job. Would have been very tricky for your family to achieve that safely. Especially the climbing on the rafters to attach the cross members

[@sam-and-angela]

We agree!

[@chrisp.76]

The property is really coming together with the colors all coordinating. I’m surprised at least one wall isn’t covered. It would protect everything during a storm if you put it on the side most storms come from.

[@Terry_1111]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@craigstewart6879]

You were 😂

[@leahr.2620]

My guess is some of the piers out of line, probably not a big deal or they wouldn't have attached to them if they thought it was a problem. Either way I know you are happy it's finished and you didn't have to build it. 👍👍

[@baxterboy23]

Who's mistake, yours or the builders.?

[@stuartandgerrimanhart8870]

Did you use TNT Car ports out of North Carolina? They built an RV Cover for us that looks like the one you had built. Ours is on gravel, we added mobile home anchors after they were done for additional anchors.

[@sam-and-angela]

The manufacturer is Steel Craft Structures from NC, but we went through a local dealer lot over here in TN.

[@moalf5088]

It is absolutely astonishing the work you did preparing for that barn construction as well as the men who put the building together. Unbelievable work! Goes to show you, man/woman is capable of anything, No sides to the barn? I was expecting it to be enclosed on all sides. Still a beautiful piece of construction.

[@rosannmuller]

Impressive teamwork with the guys. Love it, and agree it will be nice to do kid parties and such under it.

[@skyview13]

piers are off under each post and not square and posts headers are on edges not centered !!!

[@eljacalitodeandrus9905]

Well money spend. Congrat, looks awesome 🎉 Party time.

[@charlene5461]

"Balance my jabber with you." 😅🤣🤣🤣 LOVE starting my day out with you guys!! Laughing is the world's BEST MEDICINE!! 🤣🤣 Hope everyone has an awesomely blessed week!! Great shed!(the piers are off a smudge but looks great from here!😀)

[@feathers352]

My folks also have a 20 x 40 building like this though it is only about 9- 10 feet tall. They are 91 years old and love sitting in it watching the cars on the road. I just put 1/8 aircraft cable around the sides and put tarps with zipties on the north and west sides to block the wind. It should give them another month of use here in Ohio. It is a great shelter for the family reunions as you can easilly put two long rows of tables inside. I think when they put it up about 10 years ago it cost them about $1500. You probably could not touch for twice that amount now. But they have really gotten the use out of it.

[@GODPROPERTY125]

Awesome job they did love the drone view I was nervous when they was on the rooftop like it was nothing they diffently been doing that professional 😍😅

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Oh so incredible that you got that built in one day and it is looking so incredible. thanks so much for another great video, and I am wishing you a great rest of your day and restful evening, sending love and hugs, bye! 😅😉🥰🤗👍💜💜

[@CCRobertsCarpentry]

There is no anglebraces on the side walls😊😊😊

[@frostytreat2844]

I’m thinking the piers may be off some, but hey, it worked out!! Great job!

[@karenphillips6801]

The right side on concrete pillar is really on edge. The guys made it work

[@davidandrews2306]

i didn/t see any sides on the building you can do that your self ?

[@brendahaire8824]

Some of your piers were off. But, hey it is finished.

[@rubberdc]

Sam , you definitely chose the right music to show us the carport going up .

[@mlm7598]

Excellent and I am so happy for you and your homestead. So nice to keep things out of the weather and keep them protected. I understand your excitement~~~Well Done!!! Bravooooooooo Good call!!!

[@georgedavidson1221]

Please give. Me. A. Link. To. These people

[@debinbc]

I hope you guys gave them a homemade meal as a tip these guys are amazing❤❤❤

[@cliffblackburn8102]

I wouldn't even worry about it 💯✌🏻 just enjoy the car port I can't wait for you guys to put the tin on the sides 💯✌🏻😎💪🏻

[@TheWoodHaven]

I think it's a great looking barn. The vertical poles don't line up with the piers, but I'm not sure that's a problem. If it is a problem, seems like an easy enough fix to unbolt and slide it down a few inches. Not sure that would bother me.

[@DGinn-ls3nw]

Those guys worked like a well oiled machine. Amazing to watch.

[@brendahogue5487]

May the lord bless and protect you and your family

[@ctgarrison6039]

Ridge cap trim needs to be trimed and extra horizontal supports for wall supports. A few of the piers was off center but really doesn't affect strength and stability of structure, it would just make you feel better to be on center. May want to enclose sides someday, looks good.

[@ME-fs8ir]

First few minutes I thought Sam could build this. Then I saw how high it was and knew you did the right thing to outsource it. Great drone shots, what drone do you use ?

[@debraspeicher1380]

Awesome carport ...Love you guys... really enjoy your redoes and the end... hugs from Iowa

[@OneBrightLightTN]

Sam, You have string lines up behind your workshop, is there another addition coming soon?

[@phyllisstein1837]

I think you're right. all the comments about pilers and centering are just a stab in the dark.

[@gedreillyhomestead6926]

I'd suggest you block up the ends of the lowest beams that sit on top of the piers. Nice job. 😎 👍

[@philipbrazis8732]

Ruth here, you have problems with critters chewing on wires on vehicles or tractors, we do in our area, it happened to my brother, he has to keep moth balls under vehicles parked outside, not inside a closed up critter free

[@PegAMurphy]

looks awesome y'all 💖 yeah that would be a great place to throw a party of some sort❣️

[@TennValleyGal]

Those guys are fearless. Beautiful photography. The endgame is a huge and beautiful tractorport, or something like that.

[@EngineersHomestead]

Didn't need eagle eyes to see the base hanging over on one end and barely on the piers by the woods lol...anyways looks good!

[@JosePerez-fm6km]

The pillars are not straight.

[@redmapleleaf4617]

I want one of those!! Curious how much that cost. Likely thousands more for me as a Canadian as it seems that everything American's get we can get too but we pay A LOT more!

[@mikepetitt9624]

Sam…Wow this is soooo cool! You guys really needed something like this! This should make your lives so much easier I would think! Enjoy you guys deserve it!

[@phillipshirley8621]

The ground has to be leveled out

[@reannejarvis9464]

Are there gutters? Apart from the pier spacing, some of the roof screws dimpled the roof. Possible leak points, but I’m no roofologist. 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏼🤘🏿💋❤️

[@Truthandlight66]

I know the pillars had to be level, but did they have to be that tall?

[@lindajc123]

Some of those piers were barely in the line that was needed for the mounts. As precise as you are Sam, that surprised me. Whatever ends well, is well. What a useful building!!

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

That was exactly what I saw, and my reaction.

[@andreamorrison8419]

I agree, looks great but was surprised that the line up wasn't exact. However it looked like a very easy and fast job!

[@SciaticaDrums]

That what I saw too. Off by a couple inches or so.

[@airmar27]

maybe the piers werent exact as the building frame, but they sure could of center it out, also why didnt he put the ladder in the center to pick it up lol

[@lindamaskus5142]

The piers are to hold it down from wind uplift only. It doesn't matter. It's a metal roofing. The piers don't need to be weight holding.

[@rebeccahendrickson8003]

Are you sure you shouldn't put sides on it so you could keep snow and rain out. I guess I thought you were making a Garage. Love watching your family. BLESS YOU.

[@neenee7362]

I hope during a hard rain, your workshop doesn’t get flooded😳. Lookin good!!

[@dncndan1]

They forgot to put up the sides.

[@barbaradoye1989]

Riveting! And the jabber was well balanced! LOL So silly! Love you guys! Looks awesome! Take care!

[@paulbetka6477]

Would've have liked to seen the technical part of assembly 🤷 BUTT They had a Job to do 💪👍🙏 Not too many videos of building's . Anyone assembling 1 . 👍

[@brendathomas7173]

Very good!! Loved watching this :)

[@irismariaadams7630]

Sam, we have a carport like that and we had problems with birds making nests under the roof. You might have to put some metal netting like chicken wire on the rafters. Also, we installed plastic caps on the openings of the tubing (four bottoms) to keep critters and bugs from crawling inside and to keep rain out.

[@sam-and-angela]

Thanks for the tips and ideas! I bet the roof would be a wonderful bird habitat.

[@decormiamour]

Agreed. The bird poop would drive me nuts 😮

[@metaldrumcore]

rubber snakes hung in random spots will keep the birds out and is a cheap fix.

[@jameslester3861]

I have had two 18’X21’ sheds put up, the first one the crew came at 9PM. Being they didn’t have a generator or lights, I used the LED headlights on my Mule to provide light for them. Three guys had the shed put up in 1 hour. The next one was done 2 years later in daylight in 1 hour also.

[@gary-gilbert]

I know hindsight is 20/20 and I don't know how big your wallet is, but I would have dug a small footer, used the dirt from the footers to fill in some and level the inside of the shed. The last concrete i bought with fiber reinforcement was around $114 a yard. It takes 45 80# bags of concrete @ $5.08 a bag to make a yard. I think you would come out ahead getting it delivered if yo have a plant near by. Then alter on you could wall it in and not have those large gaps between the columns to deal with.

[@sandypratt8951]

❤️👍👍👍

[@triciajoslin4151]

Does it have sides and doors
