I recently installed this exact carport, thank you for the video. Just a useful tip/suggestion for installing the roof panels, was actually my wife's idea. Place some 2X6s across the bed of your truck and back it into the carport. Provides good height and a stable platform that positions you above the roofline and enables you to apply much more leverage and stability driving the screws without having to move your ladder constantly. These screws don't self tap so easily sometimes unless you are square on them with adequate pressure. I can tell you from experience that it sucks when you are on a ladder tring to apply pressure and the screw slips.
Excellent, explanation 👏 Today I purchased this same carport from Lowe's $ 1,799 plus tax & $ 79.90 delivery fee. I will be assembling it when they deliver to me. Your vídeo will help me a lot. Thank You, for sharing!
Great video, thanks for posting it. One comment. You mentioned "the anchors expand when you hammer them in" Actually they wedge into place when you tighten the nut. As the threaded portion pulls out of the hole, the sleeve slides down the wedge, expands and locks the anchor into place. I'm going to purchase the 20 X 20. Your video was very helpful.
By drilling the holes for anchors with the frame in place the water went inside of it and will rust out faster , i would have marked all holes moved the frame out the way then drilled, that's whats great about these videos, its like a heads up before you do your own build, thanks for sharing.
I've drilled a lot of holes at work for anchors, and I was never taught to use water to cool the bit. Also, I was taught to put the nuts on the lag bolts before hammering into the concrete. You could mess up the threads hammering them in, and then you won't get the nut on.
I just installed a 10 x26x12 RV carport. Installation went great. It is securely anchored into my concrete driveway. I am concerned about it's ability to withstand strong winds since its higher than it is wide. The problem is that I can stand at one end and slightly push on the wall supports and watch the intire structure shake. I invision this thing wobbling during a thunderstorm and breaking free from the ahchors.......or simply having it fall sideways. Is there anyway to cross brace the unit to give it more structure stabilty?
Could you cut the legs if you wanted? To make it shorter? I live in a hoa and park my boat in backyard and want something like this but idk how high we can have things go over our fences
Yes, you can cut the lower part of the legs off and they will still fit over the ends sitting on the ground. You will just need to drill new pilot holes for the screws.
Thanks for doing this video. I just finished building my 10x20 and your video was way more helpful than the lame instructions that came in the box. The only thing that I would add is that anyone building one of these needs to make sure to have a decent driver with two to three batteries to rotate through. This build has a shit ton of screws.
This size carport the frames were not really big so I just stood them up myself and slid them on the opposite ends. Pretty easy. For larger carports, you would need at least two people to do the same job.
Great question. Use Rebar anchors or rebar stakes. You may need to move the gravel out of the way where you are hammering them in. Then move the gravel back in place once they are hammered in.
Hi Jed. i'm looking at this exact product. couple of quick ones if you don't mind. a) how is it holding up a year later and are you happy with it? b) i'm 6 5, and i think they may sell an extension to make it 2' taller. how tall are you and is it tall enough for you? i would be parking a Ram 1500 under it. many thanks.
@@JedsGarage I just wanted to thank you. For the video. I'll give you a tip. Use fluid film to lubricate your drill bit. It sold at Napa and a spray can. It works awesome
Thank you for the question. The port will follow the slope of the ground you set it on. The more the slope and the flatter the ground the better it will drain but it drains pretty good even if you neglect these guidelines.
@@JedsGarage If you build on existing concrete like Jed, check the slope first and build the roof with the panel overlaps stepping down in the direction of flow. If you want ALL the water to come off a particular end, slope it that way first.

This is very helpful. The other tutorials are too generic and don't give tips or subtle hints on doing this right. Thank you
You’re welcome. Thank you.

Little do you know, the top of the stud wasn't straight up thread. He was fine without doing so.
really appreciate the video and tips. I'm looking at getting a 20x20 to cover my driveway but NGL - a little daunted by doing it solo.

Installing more panels on the sides will help.
Great video, I like the rope trick to see if the bars are straight. I am buying one this week at Lowes.
Thanks for watching. Glad I could help. Good luck.
Looks like a great product. One concern for me would be water drainage. Do you see anyway to install gutters on it to direct the water to one end?
im wondering what the small squares on the ground go when u put up the arches
Thanks great video. Looking to install one and was not sure how. But your video showed me I can do it myself.
How many packages did this carport come in?
Need a front rib replacement for a 12x20 carport shed . Do they sell replacement parts and how to find them?
Thank you for your video. Was this install by one person? Also, trying to gauge the time it took. How long did it take start to finish?
One man job. Took about 2-3 working days.
Full 8 hours days?
Great video, just curious if you installed a rain gutter?
No sir
Great review 👍👍👍👍👍
Great job I’m thinking of getting the exact car port , height? In the middle
Cool Video. I am getting ready to buy one of these from Lowes. The same size as yours. Should be quite easy. Great job...!!
Thank you.
Awesome video Jed, thanks for the walkthrough.🤙🏾

Did the beetle tape come with carport? How long did it take to install? Want to get the 20x20
Yes. Couple Days
Jed, how did the roof hold to last winter with all that snow?
Great question. It did surprisingly well.
Excellent and informative video. Thanks for recording this.
Are the rails pre-drilled to match the pre-drilled holes in the roofing panels?
Nothing predrilled but the screws they provide drill in pretty decent.
I see you are in Utah, I am in ogden looking to purchase this or a versatube model

Going to be building one coming up. Great video. What was your technique in raising the frame sections by yourself?
This size carport the frames were not really big so I just stood them up myself and slid them on the opposite ends. Pretty easy. For larger carports, you would need at least two people to do the same job.
I wonder how you could anchor this on a gravel driveway
Great question. Use Rebar anchors or rebar stakes. You may need to move the gravel out of the way where you are hammering them in. Then move the gravel back in place once they are hammered in.
Good job on the video. I bought one come with no manual!
EMSEAL does the job for sealing the joints for those looking
How did you fasten roof by the house
I had enough room to squeeze my drill in there. Good question though.
Can you share the anchor sizes that you used? Good video, sir
By code you need to be 36" from your electrical panel
Correct.
Thorough explanation, thanks for posting.
Thank you.

It’s held up great. Very happy with it. I’m 6 2, plenty tall for me.
@@JedsGarage many thanks.

You’re welcome good sir. Thank you
Can you tell us if Arrow has a variety of sizes to select from? From say a single bay 10' x 10' on up.
Yes, several different sizes to choose from from the Walmart we site I purchased mine from.
Very informative video,
How long it took you to put it all together ?
I am usually really slow and careful so like a couple days. Not too bad though. Just have a good drill.
@@JedsGarage I just put mine together, thanks to your video. 👌🏼
Did you have to tilt the port at all so that the water flows out?
Thank you for the question. The port will follow the slope of the ground you set it on. The more the slope and the flatter the ground the better it will drain but it drains pretty good even if you neglect these guidelines.
@@JedsGarage If you build on existing concrete like Jed, check the slope first and build the roof with the panel overlaps stepping down in the direction of flow. If you want ALL the water to come off a particular end, slope it that way first.
what size nut driver bit did you use?
How and where I can purchase a car port like this ? and how much it costs ? I really appreciate your help. Thank you.
Online on Walmart website. I paid $1375 they will deliver
Hahaha the kid scooting by "yeah keep that in mind" 🤣
I really like your video!!!
Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for your time!!!
Thank you.
Look great how long did it take to install?
I built it slow. Probably 2-3 working days. By myself.
Thanks for the video....very informative!
It won’t blow away WHATS the weight ….hurricane Saft ?
You must have 3 foot of working clearance in front of that electrical panel
Yeah, I know. I had no where else to put it. 😅 I have it removable though and will remove it when we move and before an inspector flags me for it.
Is the frame tubing 2x2 or 2x3?
2x2
Did you have to get a permit for something like this?
No. Not usually.
How much wind can it withstand before it's damaged?
We’ve had several high wind storms blow through and it does really well. Just make sure it’s anchored well and you shouldn’t have any problems.
Arrow says it can withstand 35 lb snow load and 100 mph winds.
Great video tutorial 👍🏼
Did the port come with the tape?
Yes
good water dip advice
Thank you.
Where did you get it?
Walmart online
@@JedsGarage
Thank you buddy, I really need one of those because I have nothing!
Is your concrete slab leveled?
Not really. It’s off a few inches. I shimmed the carport some at the end.
@@JedsGarage what did you use to shimmy? Looking to build a 20x30 in my backyard but concerned about the grade my concrete has
Great video thank you to the point
What is the whitest one That they make, please Comment back and let me know thank you very much
To be honest I’m not quite sure on that.
Your audio level is extremely low. We can bearly hear you.
Thank you for letting me know
Price ?
With tax and shipping between $1300-$1400. Purchased through Walmart online.
Jed’s Garage thanks
Is way cheaper to buy a sunshade
You are comparing apples to oranges
👍👍
