Sharing results of my conversion of the HF portable garage to metal. After 8 months of Winter at 9,200' elevation in the Rockies it has held up great to snow and wind.

Neat to see another snow load area build like this. A few sound like they've been through hurricanes, so that's great. Thanks for sharing.

I was worried about wind but it's held up!

@@bowercabin8540 I'm looking to do the same after the Ohio wind lifted mine up and over my garage building, even thought the portable one was anchored pretty well into the ground. I'm still nervous about the wind doing the same thing once I do the conversion.

This is exactly what I was looking to do. Thank you for the details you shared on your build!

Doing the roof like that yea you would need the pearlings. IT worked really well. yes it is stronger than the people think. yours looks really nice. I bet this winter you had some serious snow up there and it held up just fine.

Thanks! Yes no issues so far it's held up to hail wind and heavy snow

Put a solar panel charger for the jeeps battery and plastic on the ground for a vapor barrier.

Thanks for adding to the other great tips on these garages...very helpful. How many years did the tarp covered original tent last... seems I heard something like 6yrs? There were several complaints about the zipper breaking, but seems you didn't have a problem.

Thanks for the video, looks nice!😊 A few questions.. To hold it down, you mentioned cement blocks. Did you use pier blocks or rectangle? I was thinking to add a lag bolt down through the existing metal legs into pier blocks with the existing holes in the middle, then pour cement in around the bolt. (This would also raise the carport up high enough for my tractor to be stored in there). Another question is, do you have any condensation dripping when the Sun shines on the frosted roof? I would like to prevent that. Thank you for your time 😊

I am planning on putting in t-posts at each corner leg, maybe all legs, then secure with pipe hanger strips. Cut PT 2x6 with hole for t-post and a 10-12 nail/stake where the leg sits and leave it about 1.5 inches tall.

Did you say $1,600 dollars? Bro.... that's alot of coin for that little bit of metal...

@bowercabin8540 9 ай бұрын

I agree it stinks but building material costs are crazy

@jackm6307 9 ай бұрын

Yep, I recently priced it and it's terrible. Hopefully mine will hold out till the price drops, if and when.

The corners and ridge cap are very expensive and depending on what you are after you could live without them, save a few hundred dollars there. You can also run the metal all front to back without the wood instead of doing the roof like is demonstrated in this video. Just a few ideas and you could probably cut some more cost out if you sacrifice elsewhere

1600 is insane for that metal the sticks don't cost much I've built at least 10 of those garages and the only part of that build that is from Harbor Freight is the front door. All those pipes are from some where else. It's possible the "somewhere else" uses the same door as the Harbor Freight and NONE of those parts are from there.
