I am having the exact same problems hanging my front door!! It is so bad that it wont shut! AT ALL!

Bro thank you so much. I had a super tight knot on my strap that was pulled with my truck

I warped a Field cast iron skillet, and when it cooled, it went back to normal. I’m now sure what caused it out how it fixed itself, but it was fixed by cooling.

Yo I’m Erin too I’m changing my name too Justin chen I’m gonna be Erin Mickey Rogers’s ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊 0:59

i have a bunch of bandanas that my dog wears as a collar, they’re all so tight i was afraid i’d have to throw them away, gonna try this method right now. THANKS!

God damn. It worked like a charm... thank you. 🍻

While listening to you I used two acrew drivers to bit by bit , Same problem with a small ratchet strap. Will use water next time thank you!

Thanks for allowing us the opportunity to learn by your mistake. Appreciate the post.

You can’t really bend cast iron. It’s a porous metal with millions of tiny air gaps within its structure. It’s like trying to bend styrofoam.

hope the quality comaprison is same for the solid core pine ones? What abt masonite?

I will try taking it outside and taking a big propane torch to the sides of the pan. I will heat the sides almost red hot, won't heat the bottom.

Excellent video!

How has this held up? I want to use this type of framing to start building a garage type structure! Mine is fully in closed with tarp though it’s a 13 x 25 carport from bed bath and beyond

Spray wax the sheetmetal? Snow slide right off.

Good job, great ideas

No wonder jeld-wen went bust in the UK.... garbage

Boxed end of wrench. Good idea. On the bolt/nut adapter

Why didn’t you just clamp the top ridge board instead of screwing it. You could use pipe clamps/c to attach boards instead of drilling through the pipe. Add ridge cap as you go.

Will that work on my wife? She is saggy and loose?😅

I was just avblout to buy this door and I decided to check if someone has experience with Reliabilt. Great comparison> Lowes and Home Deport are across the street from each other. You saved me a ton of time and headaches. Thank you again Much success to you and yours

How this structure anchored?

There’s one born every minute. . .

prolly better luck with a dead blow hammer

The dog wasn't going to let that knot ruin it's play time.

This is what I’ve been wanting to do

I just had the same door installed and f**king sucks. The people installed it are good but the product sucks!

The reinforcements are superb! The frame usually isn't the weak point in the HF garage/hangar, though. See: Portable Shelters - Make them last 10 years! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lcinl9yZlqrdYI0.html. It correctly identifies the plastic covering as the primary problem. It isn't treated for UV resistance & rapidly deteriorates in sunlight. Its lifespan is a max of 2 years before it rips, flaps in the wind and shreds (<1 year in my CA bright sunlight experience). The maker of the video linked above simply added an additional tarp over the top which he replaces regularly as it deteriorates, keeping the original HF covering intact. Comments to this video also suggest using HF tarps. Their plastics rarely contain UV inhibitors, tend to be thin, & usually aren't a bargain. 10 cents/sf+ is a common price for poly tarps from all vendors. UV inhibitors cost extra and are usually advertised in tarps which contain them (like greenhouse plastic which often has a 4-year warranty). Tarp thickness is another major durability factor. Many are 5 mil or thinner. A 10mil tarp should be the minimum. Costco sells 2-packs of 12x16 tarps for less than $19 which do not specify thickness or UV inhibitors, but they appear to be about 10mil and are durable (2 years in moderately sun-exposed areas). At <5 cents/sf, they are half the cost/sf of much thinner, cheaper tarps. The dimension isn't perfect for the 10'x17' HF garage, but part of a tarp from an extra Costco 2-pack allows for lapping to create the required size at a lower total cost than larger, lower-quality tarps. UV deterioration is not the only problem. All coverings are difficult because (i) if unsecured over the large garage surface area, they repeatedly slam back & forth in the wind ("inflate" & "deflate") which further weakens them. The problem is that (ii) if secured to extra frame members (pipes, conduit, wood, etc), the penetrations leak and propagate tears. Mongolian yurts and teepee shelters used by nomadic Siberian herders solve the problem by roping across the surface of large coverings to secure them without penetrations. Greenhouse growers use the same technique. Roping from the base of the HF garage continuously across the roof in a number of places goes a long way to limit the wind slamming which prematurely weakens all fabric coverings. For added durability, the maker of the video linked above added a framed, plywood-sheared end wall.

Was hoping you’d post a year later update. My Costco 10x20 carport just failed from 22” of snow. Was gonna just trash what’s left of it but I’ll rebuild it if I can find steel couplings same diameter as the Costco pipe, lost most of the roof tubing, severely crushed.

Very intriguing though I'm curious how it does in high winds.

How'd you get up to the peak to put the screws in for the top cap? Just climb on the roof? Was this before you added the wood cross beams for strength?

One big problem with those frames is they are thin metal, not coated on the inside and will rust out in just a few years.

Get job. I have my firewood under a shelter just like that. Every year i am off to Northern Tool for a new tarp. Your design was so simple but it works. Thanks for putting it on KZfaq!!

You're supposed to drive the screws through the raised section!!!!

Cool upgrade. I would be sure the legs are secured and i would add a few rafters to add some strength to the roof structure

I interned at an iron foundry. There's a reason that pipe couplings are made out of "ductile" iron, because the formula for cast iron pans is most certainly too brittle for those applications. The pipe couplings have additives in the iron that greatly reduce the brittleness.

ℹ️

I plan on doing this to mine but i was gonna bolt the tin directly onto the metal tubing

Instead of metal, could you use some of those fiberglass panels?

I’m do this

It worked. Btw Your dog wants you to throw the ball as soon as your done with the video. 😂

Would have been better to heat it up first

really makes it stronger if you do the sides and back wall. Much stronger.

SMART!! ❤your design! Thanks for sharing my man and happy holidays to you and your family!

It worked. Thanks

Looks like an old BSR pan.

Well I'll be damned. Worked like a charm. Had the exact same issue. Heavy duty 2" rachet straps with an overhand loop knot. Hard as wood. Same as you, 15-20 minute soak, and then a bunch of firm taps with a hammer. Knot became pliable, and lo and behold, was able to pull it out.

This works even with out the water. Thank you for the very helpful tip.

Worked amazingly well

Do you have it anchored down?

Thank you so much! We were about to purchase a Jeld-Wen exterior door. We saw the Reliabilt and decided to check out your video. So glad we came across it! I know you are rating interior doors but looking at the quality, we will go with Reliabilt. Thanks again!
