Keep a long rope on top of the canopy,if it snows a lot you can both walk on the containers and drag the rope along the canopy. It will take the snow off
Liked, great idea! I've seen videos of that rope trick on sloped, house roofs before. Disclosure: I have spent almost zero time living in winter conditions like this. Please correct me if I'm wrong. 1. If most of the snow from the canopy ends up on top of the cargo containers, it could quickly become hard to walk on it to pull the rope. So they may need a longer rope that'll reach the far sides of both shipping containers. 2. I understand the strength of arches, but I'm a little concerned about the several thousands of pounds of snow that may eventually be resting on top of the canopy. I wouldn't want to be under there if the canopy collapses. 3. Also, is it less likely for the snow to slide off this canopy, versus a sloped roof? Nevertheless, I'm a big fan of Meg, this channel, and my first time seeing this canopy between two shipping containers.
Yep 👍🏼 Many of Building and container delivery trucks have gone to those remote control 🎛️ trailers. What I think 🤔 is a cool invention is those outbuilding delivery companies have that remote control building mover. It's a little machine looks like a miniature Bull dozer on tracks much like a skid steer. Very cool machine on tracts to put buildings in precise spots & not destroy people's yards and properties. Technology & innovation has came a very long ways 😁👍🏼
I would highly recommend getting those shipping containers off the ground. 6 inches minimum and a foot would be better. I'd use solid concrete blocks about a foot square/cube. One on each corner and 2 or 4 more in the center or thirds.
@@snippetsordinarylife All the above. You should also put skirting on at least three sides of each container to keep the cold wind from going underneath it. Especially if they have any heating in them.
Meg and Mike, your positive energy is refreshing as you tackle erecting the shipping container cover system. This cover will help protect your RV, CAT skid steer and other equipment. Merry Christmas and many blessings to you great folks.
That's awesome to hear, thank you Steve! We're so glad you're enjoying the videos! Thanks for being here and joining us on this adventure! We appreciate you!
What a beautiful piece of fresh air you two are , every time I watch you both you remind me of what can be achieved with a positive attitude, love , support and brains . Your both amazing people and have brightened up my year incredibly, thanks, God bless from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Oh thank you so much!! 🥹That is so kind. We're so glad you're enjoying the videos and are grateful to have you join us on this adventure!!! Hope you have a wonderful holiday season and Happy New Year!! 😊
Sweei, You guys really made that shelter installation look easy! The No Name manufacturer of the enclosure should pay you an advertising fee for installing their product.
Absolutely she/they should've reached out to the manufacturer and said Hey 👋🏼 we have a YT channel with 100K + Subscribers and we're needing this shelter. If you'll give us One Free of Charge We will advertise it for you on our installation video and periodically mention it in our videos. We will also keep it in the description list of products we use on our channel of all of our videos going forward. This way people who see it on our videos can look you up in our products description with your link to contact you for purchase and others can also buy this same product from you. They could've told the people they bought it from it would be tax deductible for a donation for advertising or charity however they do it in their country. But with 100K subs they can now start reviewing products for companies, & getting products for free for the channel advertising of those products. So yep 👍🏼😁👍🏼 you're right they should've reached out to them to do an advertisement deal in exchange for a free or extremely discounted item and using it as well as advertising it for the company.
Open the doors of the other container and ramp and pack gravel up to about an inch shy of floor level and you have another garage space too. Lots of room and contents will add to anchor weight. At least until you have other plans for the space. Just a thought. Fill er up.
This is impressive. The concept is great and you work so well together and complete the job. I've never seen a cover like this and I really like it. I also liked that there was no bickering between you during the assembly. I just joined your channel and look forward to watching many more of your videos. Thankyou for sharing.
It’s fascinating watching you guys as you take on these monumental task’s, I applaud on how well you get along and read each other, I’m telling you, that’s a huge added plus for you that you can do that, not everyone can, no matter how much they may love each other. Good luck you guys and have a wonderful new year ahead!
That container delivery truck was sick as hell!!! I love how useful the CAT skid steer is, what a versatile machine it is. Good job you two, you did a great job!
A wonderful achievement you guys getting the container roof up by yourselves. - Superbly done. If you get winds in your valley, you might want to shift some heavy stuff from the workshop container over the to new empty container to help weigh it down to prevent the whole roof becoming a sail if the wind gets a hold of it. Also, a fitted tarp hung at the back end of the roof and tied to the container ends will help to keep you sheltered and protected from any through wind flow, making a pleasant place to live underneath! I love watching you two accomplish things with such enthusiasm and joy. Merry Christmas from a cool, snowfree, and hopefully warming summer down under in NZL, David
Actually, a fitted tarp to cover one or both ends of the new canopy roof would likely have to be attached at several points along the canopy's gable end arch structure, which would subject the arch it was attached to to withstand both the dead load of the gable end tarp as well as any lateral loads from wind acting against the gable end tarp, loads the arch is not likely designed to withstand. Had the gable end arches been designed to withstand those loads, it seems like the manufacturer of the canopy kit would have offered such a gable end tarp as an option or perhaps had another model available that included a closed gable end, no doubt with heavier gable end arches and heavier bolts securing it to the container roof. As the canopy is currently installed, the roof material will be subject to some uplift wind forces as wind travels thru the covered space below, but that will be somewhat offset by that same wind traveling over the upper surface of the canopy. Being as the homestead is located in a valley, and prevailing winds normally travel up or down valleys rather than across the width of the valley, and the fact that the structure is currently roughly aligned parallel to the assumed prevailing wind direction, the canopy as installed really shouldn't be subject to much in the way of lateral wind forces. Uplift forces from wind are significantly less than lateral forces and much easier to design resistance to than lateral forces are. I speak as an architect who sneaked into the profession via the back door of civil/structural engineering nearly 50 years ago, so yes, while the current installation may in fact create a bit of a wind tunnel effect, at least the canopy structure is designed to withstand that. Lastly, modifying the canopy in ANY way would also no doubt completely negate any warranty the manufacturer has provided, so it would be a good idea for the buyers to reach out to the manufacturer prior to making any modifications. Read the buyer's agreement carefully!
Your travel accommodation trailer was a big help for you both installing your canopy. Plus you really scored with there not being a breath of wind as well. I can imagine it would have be a total nightmare even in a small slightly windy day. 😀👏👏👏
Nice to see one of these put up. They look pretty forgiving for container placement and leveling. Thanks for sharing. look forward to see how it fares the winter.
I'd love to see an update to see how this handles wind and a snow load. I am also attempting to build a similar shelter on top of 20ft containers. Merry Christmas to you as well.

A truck load bed strap might be more useful as a scraper.
Brilliant!
Yippie
That delivery truck is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while.

Very cool!!
@CC-Rider4564 You're thinking of a Shed Mule. Very innovative little machine.
@Incaensio And the truck driver was damn good as well.
YES INDEED, I AGREE! I’ve never seen anything like that, wow what an engineering marvel that was. Loved watching it in action! ❤
What a glorious couple you are. Every time I watch you my faith in humanity takes a very welcome upturn.
Thank you that's very kind!
I would highly recommend getting those shipping containers off the ground. 6 inches minimum and a foot would be better. I'd use solid concrete blocks about a foot square/cube. One on each corner and 2 or 4 more in the center or thirds.
Rust? Flooding?
@@snippetsordinarylife All the above. You should also put skirting on at least three sides of each container to keep the cold wind from going underneath it. Especially if they have any heating in them.
Or on concrete pads
You know I was going to say the same thing because over time the floors are going to rot out
Being rural, watching my neighbors occasionally accomplish something is some of our most interesting days.
I could watch these two work together all day. I was impressed at how easy they made that look.
Meg and Mike, your positive energy is refreshing as you tackle erecting the shipping container cover system. This cover will help protect your RV, CAT skid steer and other equipment. Merry Christmas and many blessings to you great folks.
Thank you so much Bill! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!
This channel deserves massive sponsorships
Except it is from Canada, that will always hurt with the Adsense.
@@sprtplt yeah I’m talking about sponsors tho not ad revenue.
Brand partnerships etc
I love how well you work together!! You guys are a team!!
Thank you so much!
One GREAT video. Even though I'm 70 y o, I'm still learning a lot from you guys! Thumbs up! 😊

That's awesome to hear, thank you Steve! We're so glad you're enjoying the videos! Thanks for being here and joining us on this adventure! We appreciate you!
Loving how much value you've gotten out of the skid steer - certainly a great buy and with selling the other unit, it's more than paid for itself
Nicely done. Delightful story and production.
Thank you so much, we appreciate it!
I’m looking forward to watching this as soon as everyone gets out of my house. 😂

That's the coolest freaking truck, adjustable axels on the trailer, and remote control cab 😮😮😮
So cool, right?!? Couldn't believe my eyes!
Have always thought this shelter system is the greatest use of containers. Thanks for the video.

That container delivery truck was sick as hell!!!
I love how useful the CAT skid steer is, what a versatile machine it is. Good job you two, you did a great job!
WOW that's awesome! Great to get the equipment under cover! Now you need to close in the ends that would help with the winds!
Great as usual, I love it!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
That CAT 277 must be the best investment I have ever seen on a UA-cam Channel..
Lol! 😆 It honestly is the best, we love her!
Meg is an awesome young lady, hubby very fortunate.
A resourceful and energetic couple.
Great video. Merry Christmas from Budapest.
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
That is awesome. The shelter is a game-changer for the development of the property. Happy New Year!

Yes we'll definitely have to stay on top of the snow on this structure, fingers crossed! We'll keep you posted!
Watching this you totally need one of those remote controls for the skidsteer!
YAAAAAAAAAAY a new Meg video! It's a festivus gift!!!
I am impressed
Really master peace and learning skills... Thank you both beautiful pal

Hello merry Christmas I always enjoying your video your amazing work love it have a blessing day
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you too! Blessings!
I'd love to see an update to see how this handles wind and a snow load. I am also attempting to build a similar shelter on top of 20ft containers. Merry Christmas to you as well.
We'll definitely keep you posted!! Fingers crossed!
Very nice shelter and thanks for sharing this video it was helpful
