This is my kinda build project. No money, cheap as possible, but functional. Instead of sticker shock all at once price, build a carport first, sheath it over time and pour interior concrete slab later - spread out the cost over time.

I've used those 4x4 post holders with great success. I've tried 2 years to remove them from the ground and after swearing alot, digging, hitting and more swearing, I had to dig them out by hand and shovel. Love them.

I have been putting off building this carport for far too long and you just inspired me to get started, thank you so much!!!

Your video here was right up my alley - I put off for so long doing a car port of so kind, but price has kept me from it. Now, I stumbled on this! Fantastic. Thanks.

I got the harbor frieght carport for 100+ dollars. The top was torn to sreads by the wind, i replaced it with shade cloth. I used 20×10 pieces two. The wind blews thru it no problems and the shade is great

Thanks for this! I’m currently contemplating a $1500 metal carport or a DIY similar to this. This definitely helped put cost into perspective.

I'm fixing to do something really close to this, good work and cheap as hell, ... I like it.

I'm in the process of closing on my first house, which comes with a single car garage. I was considering putting up a carport just outside the garage to use for parking while using said garage for storage. Your method definitely piqued my interest.

[clintonmcbeth]

All I need is a carport that will provide some shade and will stand up partially to mother nature at the beach for about just the rest of the summer at that point I can build something a lot better and bigger, your design is perfect thank you thank you thank you

Thank you for the video. This is just what I needed. I am a single mum who wants to put her pop up camper under some shade

I came across this video for inspiration to try out on a smaller scale for my kids' school bus shelter at the end of our long driveway. It's very cold, rainy, and sometimes still dark outside while they have to wait. Any suggestions and/or recommendations that you may be able to offer this single mama building this alone would be much appreciated.

Your giving me a great idea for my home. I love the post holders.

Dog shelter going up this week! That was nice!

I just bought a camper, 20x8x12 feet high, then realized i need a place to park, it, lol. This looks like just the thing.

[dreamingcode]

Bro i like to say its good enough for government work! It even gives me a little confidence as somebody who knows nothing about construction to do it myself. I'm going to use tin though because I'm in the Northeast and I need to support the snow load. Thanks!

Throw some used solar panels in place of the metal roof and the structure will be paid for in no time! Good video, thanks for posting!

[brianmorrison]

I am planning on making a 12x12 just like this, however I need to slant the roof the long ways and I will probably just mount each 4x4 directly in cement. I will probably use corrugated metal on top of OSB board as the roof.

Like the post holders. $20 each at HD.
