Whelp I'm in lol. Adding a carport to my area. Pretty excited should be a fun project.
Still I blame some of you on here though...

Carport is here. Seems a little crazy I'm only using the frame.

Great!.

..a little tip...the dark brown frame will get very hot in the sun, if you paint it white it won't cook your plastic.....

These guy's sell a clear top for $90 made for a carport......

I saw one of your posts listing these guys. I have on order the one with the screened sides. Hopefully that will let the wind through and keep the humidity down. Thanks a bunch fur the recommendation they look like good ones!

Your welcome it should work great for you....
another tip...take a look at the 2x6 wood I attached to each foot. You can slip a cinder block down over each leg, down onto the wood & that carport ain't going nowhere....good luck

The first coat of paint I put on flaked right off, because it's powder coated. :roll:

I had to ruff it up with sandpaper to get the paint to stick. I just used white outdoor enamel...

The sandpaper makes sense as they seem pretty slick. Hopefully get some time tomorrow to put up the structure.
Thanks for the tip. Will save me an extra coat :-)

What size pots are you using here?
I ordered 100 gallon thinking that would be a good size for the structure.
