[QUOTE="Mr.Glock, post: 4109696, member: 32877"] One suggestion. Be there the day they arrive to install. If it’s an open aired carport, try to locate it where the direct North and South winds will hit from the sides. And the important part is, have 4 7 ft T-Post and a Post Driver handy. When they lay down the bottom 3x3 galvanized bottom plates. Drive the T-Post in about half way down. Get out of their way and let em build it. Last one we had was 24 wide by 20 deep. It $795, and I went to Indaco Metals in Shawnee and bought sheets to finish out both sides. After they erected, I welded plates to the T- Post and 4 corner legs. It will not move. As all the install is 2-3 ft of rebar with a nut welded on top of the rebar. I have also seen guys use Trailer House Anchors at each corner too. T- Posts are a cheaper option. One last thing, they had this one up in less than a hour. [/QUOTE]
