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.

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.

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.

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.

@Tailss1 Жыл бұрын

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.

@beesprojects2692 Жыл бұрын

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.👍🏻

Do you have both of them mounted into the ground so that it won't move with strong winds

@beesprojects2692 2 ай бұрын

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.

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

@beesprojects2692 11 ай бұрын

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. 👍

@beesprojects2692 3 ай бұрын

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?

@beesprojects2692 3 ай бұрын

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.

How much was the asphalt?

@beesprojects2692 19 күн бұрын

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.
