If you've ever wondered how a professional company builds a metal building, you need to watch this. I hired a crew to build an all metal carport, and I documented every stage.
In this video I'll show you each step of the process... from start to finish. You'll also see a few tricks of the trade that the professionals use to make it perfect.
The company I hired is Kiwi Construction, and I recommend them highly. They really did a good job on this. Thanks to Matt, Gary, Harold and crew... I'm one satisfied customer !
Take care,
alan

Thanks for the video. I'm barely starting my mobile welding business and was curious on how these structures are built. These guys did an awesome job.
Trust in Jesus Christ
i dont know why do people hate on texas! met many people from there who are really great and kind.
this video helped me a lot ! thanks a dozen
Setting the corner I-beam posts reminded me almost exactly of setting posts in stone for the trellises we built last spring (with cement). We also used string and were very precise as the end posts set the stage for the line posts that went in later. The majority were pounded 4' into dirt, plumbed as went along.
We to have a similarly constructed fully enclosed shed that can fit (footprint) 6 vehicles, but set up for three as the additional space has a full bath, kitchen and utility room in one corner. Three big doors and two man (sized) doors.
That's a nice carport though, slab and some siding would help shelter the equipment
Trust in Jesus Christ
I love your videos! I used to live in Oklahoma and now in Cali...I'll be moving with my dad to Alaska soon! We are going to build up our family homestead...your videos are just amazing, I'm learning new ways to do lots of stuff, thanks! :)

Thanks for sharing TP2! Looks great. Sharing this with the hubby :)
thanks for showing this! looks good
Looks nice! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing, looks great!
Good job body, thank you for taking the effort by recording the whole process.God bless .
Very nice and really heavy duty!
love how solid this building is, can not go wrong, im in australia and that price is a gift!!! i would kill for a carport built like this!!!!
Thanks.I guess we take some things for granted around here.
You can build your own if you know how to weld and work with metals. Oh and 1 or 2 helpers.
Very nice...thanks for sharing!
It's a BEAUTY! Something to hold up to the elements trouble-free and shelter equipment/cars for the next 40-50 years. My dad contracted a building in the 1970's. People who looked at it said it was the best manufacturer (=Ludwig?) Anyhow it was three times the sq. ft. and the materials were not half the strength of yours. You got a bargain!
Nevermind!! Just saw that it shows on your title photo. Thanks!
Looks awesome!
Thanks for the sharing, i really like your solution
great video!! thanks
awsome stuff
Very Nice ! Tickled for ya !
Would love to see how much room you have with the truck and tractor under it. I am about to do a metal building with two 21' garage bays and an 18' living space bay.
Cant beat the price for the quality. Looks great!
looks great and the price was good too
How much was it?
looks great
Looks good. Now I want one. 👍
We still love it :)
Very nice that's all kinds of handy. God bless buddy
I got the impression that those guys have done that before. Looks real nice.
I was honestly impressed up to the point where I saw the welds.... regardless it is a very nice product
👍
Thanks for doing this video I am going to give your builder a call.
Great!
Very nice
Gorgeous
I could use a few of those. I'm jealous. :)
Those welds on the post and truss are rough as hell they coulda cleaned them up a bit. Overall looks good
I would have measured the beams and cut off 3 feet before setting in hole then just line up the string line to 10 ft mark ,although those beams are heavier than 4x4 tubing...great work,by real craftsman..quality work..
Thanks!
moreno what type of paper do you use on metal post ??. also what is the depth of the hole in the ground ?
I really like this design using thick steel vs. light gauge metal framing, Great job....Dave
Thank you very much!
That's a good deal !!!
Looks great. Now you need some florescent shop lights, ceiling fans and electric outlets on every post. Then you can have your party. LOL Oh, yeah, and build a stage for the band.
+BC ElginTex That's the plan !
Nice job, I would like to find someone I can hire to do this, can you suggest where I would look? ask at the metal iron store for reference's maybe.
That would probably be a good place to start.
They should know someone that would do you a good job.
The carport concept seems to be popular further south than I am. I'm thinking that would make a beautiful sawmill "port".
+777strongcoffee I have an enclosed garage that is attached to my house, but this is for parking other stuff in...
you really scored TPT2
I was looking for some I beams today and its hard to tell what people use on here. I was told to use 12" x 14lb for my application at the Metal place. I am building a Truss for a 40" wide roof with R panels and Cee's.
I think these were 10"X8lb... but not sure.
I may mention it in the video if you want to go back and listen close.
For a 40' span, the size will probably be larger.
@@BIGALTX 5 years ago I was here and now looking again for an upcoming project. I am thinking on building a 24x30 foot car port to store my trucks and new tractor.
Very nice, I'm looking to get an enclosed garage and carport built. May I ask who you had build it?
A company in ETX.
KIWI Construction
Could you ask them if they can refer me to someone in Oregon?
That's heavy duty .
Great job. I want one!
I want ANOTHER one !
:)
@@BIGALTX I'll build you one...
@@BIGALTX what did it cost you?
@@lance3883
Around $4200 for building
$2000 for slab
@@BIGALTX did the 4200 include material?
That is a great price for such a long lasting port.
what was the price? I didnt hear it ?
When they made the pie cuts on the ibeams with the 3/12 pitch, how long were the ibeams to begin with? How much did you lose in feet on the span? Was it originally gonna be 25x25’
Man, I really don't know.
I just watched them, I didn't help at all.
But yes, it was always planned to be 25'X25'
When they Heated & bent the I-Beams, did they use a Come A Long? Or by hand?
Just by hand
Good vers ...
Love the work! who was the company who built it?
+Michael Jenkins
Kiwi Construction
Did you guys use a pigeon to weld that?
That is a really nice carport. I heard you say you would say the cost of it, I guess I missed that. Would you share the cost for that. Good video.
The cost was $4200 for the carport and about $2000 for the slab.
Probably higher now since metal and concrete has gone up.
What did that cost to build? Very well built!
Around $4200
Slab was $2000
Probably much more expensive now.
That polycarbonate roofing will last about 15 years then it will get brittle and hail will knock holes in it. That stuff is expensive almost cost prohibitive when you consider how much it costs compared to galvalume or other metal roofing.
This is all 26 gauge galvalume
Already comes prerusted!
Heavy duty, should have mixed concrete before adding it. Other than that awesome video
Where did you get the blueprints to build this. I would like to do the same thing.
I didn't build it.
I hired a company to build it.

Didn't your already build your tractor a home behind your refurbished shed? Did you get a second tractor to keep the other one company?
+Les “Porkchop” Smithfield Yes... I did build a shed for it...very observant.
I think this will be it's "winter home"... I'll find something else to put under the shed :)
Now thats a strong cover there paw paw....
interesting way to mix concrete
I know it's considered "rude" to ask, but roughly how much did that cost you? (I'd be interested in getting one of those, but have no idea whether we're talking closer to $2k or $20k...)
I would like to know as well, to budget for a future project.
+Barclay's Mommy, Donna It was $4300. If I get a slab poured, it will be another $2500 or so...

Thanks... It'll help with my budgeting!!!
+Barclay's Mommy, Donna Thanks for asking. Was just going to do the same.
Great workmanship! What was the total cost?
The structure was $4200 and the slab was $2000
But, I understand all those materials have gone up a LOT since then
Awesome !! How much was that, If you don’t mind?
About $4200 for the structure and $2000 for the slab

+Emmie Godeaux mud doesn't make a very nice Christmas card picture.
Never mentioned price like you said. Mind sharing that?
I think it was $4200 without the slab.
@@BIGALTX ty. I ended up doing an addition to the garage.
I'm sorry, did you mention somewhere about how much this cost? Thanks
The metal structure cost about $4200
The concrete slab was $2000
Metal is higher now and so is concrete
No surface treatment to the posts before casting into the concrete! I would have laid the slab first, then used chem anchors to fix the posts to the slab. Anyhow, should stand for years to come.
what size purlins and gauge?
I don't know about the perlins.
The R-Panel metal is 26ga
my iron fence posts are 4 ft deep.. just an observation but id get them deeper
+Jack Burton Around here... 3' is plenty deep... we don't have a 'frost line' ...etc.
Many folks only go 2' deep on some projects.
Im close to dallas tx myself but the men that did my foundation piers and also put my wrought iron fencing in said 4 foot for fencing so I just figured yours would need much more
I'm in Carrollton TX and I went 4' deep with maximizer concrete. I welded railroad spikes to the bottom posts and it should outlast me and my house.
sounds like a plan
Where in Texas? I need something a little bigger North of Waco.

I don't think he goes that far from home
Thanks for the speedy response. Nice pavillion aka carport.
Very nice car port there. Glad to hear you're tickled as well. Did you forget to mention how much this was?? :) Just being nosy.
+Old Pup I can't believe I forgot to tell the price... It was $4300. If I get a slab poured, it will be another $2500 or so...
Not bad really. Thanks for letting me know.
what did they use to cut the tin?
Tin snips I reckon
How deep are the holes for the posts?
I think they were 3 feet.
I'm just curious if anybody knows how long this will last ie thinking fail points maybe the steal beam in concrete seamingly lower than the dirt. . How long would it take to rust and cause this building to fall over if no maintenance is done? I'm thinking I want to build something like this but wouldn't it be better to do some sort of pier and J bolts. Not sure how long this method will hold up? My guess is 20 years ?? As such a small build but i plan to do a larger port.. Any experienced builders doing metal like this reading this, can you guess?
I’m not that experienced in building metal buildings, but I would imagine as thick as the beams are, it would last for many decades. Much longer than I’m going to be around 😊
Yah think so also.?. We do galvinized post with solar so was curious what people think with this sort of structure.
$4300 was for labor only right? What was the material expenses?
+banker1224
$4300 total... material and labor :)
There angler on that first butt weld, I just wanted to grab his risk and position his hand
Would you please send me the contact info for the guys that created your building...looks like just what I'd like to have.

Tell him I sent you.
He's from New Zealand, mate !

Looks awesome but one thing i saw was that the I beam post weren't painted before you put the concrete in. I made this mistake and I had to redo a post. Concrete has acid that will eat away at the metal faster than water. They should of known that but mine was 3/8inch thick I beam and it ate threw it in 12 years. There is a paper you put around it to help it last longer. Im not criticizing just something i noticed. Very awesome building though
You may have used calcium chloride to speed up setting. That is no longer used in concrete that I'm aware of.
they still use it up north in Ohio in the winter
yesenia moreno
if steel in contact with concrete was a pervasive problem, then rebar wouldn't be such a corrosion-prone alloy of steel; your theory isn't quite right.
You can't be much more wrong. Concrete is very alkaline ph level is around 13 and high alkaline protects steel from corrosion.
I bet reason for corrosion was that between beam and concrete was small cavity which was filled with water each time rain and it hold moisture which helps steel to corrode.
How much does something like that cost to build
This one was around $4200 and the slab was another $2000
Was it 4300 with or without the materials
$4200 total for bldg.
$2000 for slab
Can you let me know the business who did the construction for you? I might like to hire them.
+Larry Sherrod
Kiwi Construction
What size in inches???? the C channel.
8 inches purlin????
I didn't get up on the ladder to measure... but they look like 8" C-channel
I do not think that was their first building. Nice
More like their third Rick
the rainwater is just gonna sit around the steal beam?
I'm on a slight slope... Nothing sits around very long
This looks like the new home for berry sales.
+Jerry Bates ABSOLUTELY!!
Those strings that are maticulis is to square of the structure lol
how did they get that I beam to bend after they heated that joint?
They didn't just heat it... They cut a chunk of it out... heated it... then bent it.
Watch again starting at :53 seconds
Oh I've watched it twice, I'm just wondering how they got it to bend, after they cut the chunk and after they heated it? Thank you!
Heating the "top" of the beam makes it soft enough to bend
metal look at
How much did it cost?
+gertzadik It was $4300. If I get a slab poured, it will be another $2500 or so...
@@BIGALTX DANG, 8 years ago pricing. WHEW
How deep did they dig the hole for the i beams
I think they were 3 feet deep.
@@BIGALTX awsome thank you!
Heavy duty car port
how much did you say it costed
Around $4300 for the structure... and around $2000 for the concrete slab.
oh no I didn't have my welding goggles on
what a deal
How much was it
THOSE GUYS TAKE PRIDE IN THIER WORK!!! how much did it cost?
$4200 for the structure
$2000 for the concrete slab
Would probably cost more today. Materials have gone up
doing it @@BIGALTX that is a great deal. I just paid 1650.00 for a 20x 20 mueller, not near as stout, f the guy they recommended to install it wants 1500.. im not paying that. I will hire someone to help me. wish these guy were in central texas. how much did they charge to do the stumps?
What was the cost?
$4200 Materials and Labor
$2000 Concrete Slab
4300$ is really cheap! the permits alone are 2200$ for the one I wanted to put up in Washington state.

Can you please tell me what the total cost was.
$4200 for the structure and $2000 for the concrete pad.
But, concrete and metal has gone up since then, so it'll probably be 10-20% or more higher now.
@@BIGALTX thank you for your help I'm looking to get someone to install for me but I'm over in Australia and wanted to compare something your size over here would be $12000 to $15000AUD so USD $8251 to $10313. Crazy. We sell our minerals to China and buy the steel back at stupid prices. Thanks again for the information.
So how much?
Around $4200
