Homemade Tarp Carport

This is an ideal diy carport for a small yard since it can double as an outdoor cover to shade a sitting area.

Homemade tarp carport.

Using 10 foot sections of pvc pipe two types of specialized pvc fittings and greenhouse plastic i fashioned a simple yet highly functional carport for my small truck. Repeat this for all four corners. Here is a homemade double wide double long four car carport. Instead of trying to lift 16 8x8 treated beams in the air by myself i went and just purchased a 2 300 fully installed carport.

It was made with lightwight steel poles conduit. Fasten the front and back beams first. This simple structure has plenty of space for two cars and a couple of chairs to sit in. Fill the five gallon buckets with concrete.

Use a leveling tool to position the pipe so it stands level. If you have 100 and an extra hour to spend outside you too can construct a 10 foot by 12 5 foot temporary carport. Fast forward one year my sheds are full and i need a space to store my lawn mower. The homeowner had welded his own metal brackets to hold the poles and stretched a tarp across the roof.

About 3 months after i actually bought it they came and put it up. To secure the walls of the carport you ll basically build a simple rectangular box approximately 16 feet 4 9 m long nine feet wide and roughly seven feet high secured onto the posts. Insert one pvc pipe into the concrete.
