Hey guys you all know these carports you get them from harbor freight costco and places like that this is one of the little cheap ones we use it to do work in out on job sites we have to leave solar panels out and at this time it's back at the house but i want you to show you something here other than the pile of wood.
These carports here come with these frames and you can do numerous things with these frames now generally their span is too far uh for you to do a lot of work on them and expect them to be strong hold up in winter weather and things like that but what i'm going to show you here is by.
Cutting this shorter and using wood purlings on them we're going to build a nice carport now this one here is 10 foot wide by 20 foot long but we're going to make a 10 by 12 which for most small cars is fine you can make them 10 by 14 also if you want to that's about the limit of what one of.
These frames that uses the two inch pipe so that's a costco style you see that right there so we're going to take and cut one this one is more capable of using metal that has the ability to flex or long ways you can run long ways you'll run the 26 gauge.
Roofing metal not the 29 and this will actually work for that process but let me go show you what we're working with over here all right so this carport has the two inch pipe and gauge wise is only 17 gauge so it's not super strong but strong you've seen them hold up weather and wind and everything and this one is a.
Eight-legged 20 foot by ten and a half foot kind of odd but that's what it is and now there's the frame and you can tell it's a fairly well built because it does have structural point in it and what we're using on top of it is foam core poly so this is poly.
And it's but it's foam foam core poly it's very strong now it comes in numerous different colors and you get that home depot lowe's this is sun top brand but and then 12 foot long two bites as pearling so there's six of those all right so these are three sections.
There and there's another one right there came apart hauling it over but we're going to build this out here on the patio to where we can put a barbecue pit under here and it's tall enough that no heat in the barbecue pit will cause any problems and the barbecue pit to be used is a nice one it's a grill coming in my little carport i.
Built here it's a nice one so this and you guys that like this stuff i'm gonna put a link to this thing this thing's amazing we got one for someone else we put it together and it was like what the hell we buy for them for so we found one got it on sale and we got one.
It's from walmart walmart's a black stone carrier now so you can get cheaper than order from them pay attention all right back out here see katie now to make this carport that's originally 20 feet to make it a 12 foot long.
To work on those panels those panels are 26 inches wide and if you run six of them six foot long or six if you own six of them six foot long you'll end up with the roof we want which gives us the ten and a half here but six foot and six foot for the roof line with the little overhang on both.
Directions and then there's a special cap that goes on the roof so we're going to have to measure up the distance of each one of these now at 20 foot long we're going to take two inches off for each one of these which would be four.
So that knocks us eight inches off on length and then we're going to measure our spreader pipes where you saw on that other one that's just pipes between the uprights and the rafter parts we're going to measure these and in my case these are 77 a quarter inches and then we're going to take that and.
Multiply it times three and from there we're going to remove eight feet because we're 20 foot we want to be 12 8 feet off of that number so i end up with 19 feet basically 19 and a half feet and then we're going to remove that from that number to get our cuts.
And in my case our cuts are about three foot nine and that's going to give us three foot nine to each leg that gives us much more strength and then of course with the purlings of the two bites we'll build this and set it up and i'll give you some more here in just a minute i got my portal band out to do the.
Cutting there's all our cross members upper and lower let's get busy and i'll show you this as we step through it all right guys working into the night i want to show you what i've done there it is i cut off uh the remainder of those spreader bars those that's kind of what you'd call.
That i guess and what we ended up was is three foot eight and a half inches of bar length on these frames now yours might differ there we go yours might differ but that's what we got and then putting the uh straps on it we were able to pull it together tight.
The straps up top also see that and then we're putting screws in it give me all that right there the screws are going into it to lock it into place now my slab is not perfect so i shimmed it.
Until we got level points everywhere so we made sure that we were level on the whole thing like so and you want to make sure you do that because when you shoot the screws in if your frame is a little bit of jar.
It's going to really mess with you a lot so there we go there and i pulled corner to corner now that process is once i'm straight pulling the two corners and long as i'm within about an inch in this kind of framing we're fine so now we've gone from 20 foot length to just a little bit tiny bit under 12.
Feet length and then we're going to be running one by threes on the sides of these to to beef up this as well as putting the tube before us running that way as purling so it'd be three of those and a 1 by 3 tucked underneath for additional strength and that's why i cut it at 140.
Uh two and a half that's what it was 142 and a half so it'll be flush and when i roll my little sheet metal there you go all right so there you go pretty cool we're going to get to the next step here pretty quick so there we are for using the frames and.
So far a 12 by 10 foot six and over here on this side we're going to be placing them inside of concrete blocks and using contact on the concrete and pouring them full of concrete uh mix wet mix so we're gonna have that in both and they also have the same thing they have pipes in them they go all the way up and just just cheap inch and a.
Quarter conduit but it makes them very strong so you can't bend these and that's the main point because up here you're going to have additional supports with wood and other matter and you want to make sure these are strong so you're taking basically a 149 frame and you're building a really cool gazebo.
Or outdoor cover that's permanent all right here we go guys let's get to that next step we're going to be putting this up here and look at my windmax that is my hye before they sold out to another company but those were the sunning made product badass um.
Out here when we're done we're gonna have one inch conduit made into trussing that tightens all these up gonna look good so stay tuned let's get this roof on i've got the upper and lower boards on these are the two by four spreaders that are going to be the pearlings for it you see.
And we've got another one to go in the in the center right here that'll go across also we've got a gap of three foot eight inches on these pipes and the pipes are going to be plenty strong because of these pieces right here so you'll see that these pieces and get over here on this ladder.
They're going to be going up like this and they'll be getting screwed into pipes about six screws torx screws that go in there y'all hear them wind turbines off in the background now look at my little chinese turbines still running like a dream making a lot.
Of power i'll put a link to those little turbines and y'all can go see them up on that video check them out still running like a dream look at them moving boiling blades look like they're almost sitting still a little 500 watt chinese turbines.
What we've got here material wise other than these boards which is a whole pile of them over there what we got is that foam core and there's the two more pearlings right there 12 footers uh 12 foot and 5 8 of an inch factory and as you'll see up here how they're going to work out now inside.
Of these pipes is another pipe so these are super strong concrete and then conduit with uh barbs in it went down and down in the ground about 14 inches onto a flat block and then we concreted it in right at the very top edge of the white pipe so even if it does a little rust out it's not that big a deal over here we've.
Got these set in blocks and when i get my top coat put in here of about an inch deep we're going to have like a terrazzo top coat and when that's done those will be locked in they're not going anywhere you can't really kick them now because i epoxied the blocks and then put the concrete in them so they they're pretty solid now.
The next step of course finish these other purlings that go across these pipes here are hollow and we're going to have them we're going to have str spreaders they'll be made to go to the peak right here to strengthen those up and the same way and then pieces of one inch conduit with the ends smash flat screwed in to give it.
Structural strength as far as a toe line here we go the next step long video but you want to know it all oh i know you guys want to know more about that when max i'll put you a link to that ask me or look under the video i'll put the link where you can get the newer model from sunning underneath it's called.
Uh an sm 500 underneath i'll put it there that has that's uh 11 years old now running never put a wrench on it all right guys now it's got dark on me but i am still continuing putting a few lights out and we have the roofing currently going on so there you see it.
Right there kind of nice i got a inch and a half overhang on it and you have to do this filler down on the end so that this poly will not lift up get wind between these points right here it'll lift up so you might want to make sure.
You put a filler space in between your purlins on each end okay the last segment here is the roof is on we still have to put the crown on which is going to be galvanized and that will be clean with white vinegar so that it can accept paint to match this or other trim.
Probably it'll be white along with white trim here we have lattice that will go here four by eight pieces right here and here and this end will be open and a lot of people are gonna say well that's never gonna be strong enough to handle the weather you know but yes it will it'll be plenty strong this is not the first rodeo this.
Is 17 gauge with other pipe inside this is 15 gauge and this is very well structurally beefed up and by the time you finish tying everything together it's super strong i walked all over this roof and jumped on it so we don't have to worry about that this is not a first i'll show you one.
Right quick let me show you one right quick so hopefully if you're watching the video you stayed with it long enough to see the build parts of this the sections and you'll understand this is having this going in let me walk over here and show you something that's been here for years and it ain't built like that one that.
One's going to have sheer strength on it just like the other this is just full of junk right now but i want to show you something that's handled massive weather massive 100 mile an hour winds and it's the same thing right here old harbor freight tubular frames from 15 years ago now these.
Pieces here are 15 gauge and look what i did with it it's just a barn i threw together but the thing that i do they see that the struts look at this stuff up in here the these are just three-quarter conduit nailed flattened on the ends that are used to keep a tension load prevent.
Sagging and then of course putting a pieces of plywood in every once in a while there but this has been sitting here and it's just 29 gauge metal 29 gauge metal and the spacing is even further than what that one is over there this has had a good two feet of snow on it and hard hard blizzard idaho weather.
So if you can do that and look at this this is just using top rails fencing top rails that's all this is one and three-eighths but the the factor is is that you can build with thinner materials if you do like how you see me doing here multiple facets of different materials that actually.
Create like a corrugation effect is what you're dealing with here so look at this this is for a almost 42 inch 42 inch gap on every one of these um and i know somebody's gonna say well that'll fall down one day well you know what compared to my neighbor's house made that almost ninety percent masonite.
And chipboard i'll bet my ass on this he paid 300 000 for that piece of crap i put my money on this i'll put my money on this and to prove this i had 13 people on the roof of this because a guy bet me and i told him he was screwed nice.
So back to this if you if you know engineering you'll understand that by the time that i put in my metal framing here multiple pieces of metal framing and attach the lattice the lattice isn't isn't physical strength but it gives you a little bit of control and the second.
Thing is is that you see how these are gusseted and how these have bracing and all that in it and there is pipes inside of this where that actually was slip fitted into this so when this is all done there's multiples multiples of different angles and connecting points that locks everything together a fastener failure.
Is something to worry about more than structural so there you go all right and those are epoxied that was fun doing that they're epoxy to the concrete and we used a garden tractor to hook a yellow strap on it to try to break that loose we couldn't and it's supposed to be.
Negative 40 degree capable so i don't have to worry about that here but there you go that's the next thing we're going to do that is a new carried by walmart i think i'm gonna show that in the previous part and we're gonna put it right here what you're looking at guys is you're.
Looking at salvage to solution okay still trim still other things to finish but salvage to solution is what you're looking at blocks salvaged cat things bought the capstones bought the frame for this salvaged.
Discount sale on the roofing half the wood is salvaged i have less than 500 sitting here in all of this and when it's finally finished out it's gonna add two thousand dollars worth of value to this old house and possibly i can convince kids come out clean their mess up wouldn't that be.
Something all right joe y'all be good build it salvage it reconstruct it it's worth doing so you
