Any pics or info, manual out there? I have the whole machine looking for grinding wheels, belts. Thanks. Seb.

24'w x 20'D. Carefree..Base 20 x 20 two 8' doors, erected, on sale $11,500 plus $2000 for the extra 4'. Traded the doors for 9' openings and four windows. Had them make a base with 3/4" plywood floors for $3000 [concrete foundation and floor would have been 7500]. I made the stone base and frame...

I will add that at my age of 70.5 I still do a lot of things that maybe I shouldn't but I do because I can..I run my 175 Kaw dirt bike around the woods for example..But I do have a tv in my shop and a recliner in front of it!!

gearhead1: I checked at the town hall when I first thought of the car port venture and they said that I don't need a permit but they want to see the plans..So thanks for the info..When I built my garage addition I had an Architect draw up plans..What a god awfull rendition [2700.00] of what I...

I understand the height concerns and it would not be hard to up it a foot..Its really great to have thoughts and other points of view..

I don't know what "inside" you see..I have 7' at doors and 7' at 20' out, driveway does slope down about 16" at the 20' mark from the bottom of doors..

I thought 3x6 I beam with 2x6 bolted in for nailers...Because of pitch (2 to 4) I looking for an example some one seen some where so as to not make o'all thickness/height obnoxious....

You saw but you didn't read?

The doors are only 7' so why would I need more?

You have given me a lot of insight..I wanted to get an idea of beam required and at 14" that would be the about max I'd want to see, so you had to use three so I may be at four or more! Last time I hired an architect cost me a lot of money for something I couldn't use..A suggestion has been made...

I want to add a car port to the front of my garage..Attached to garage and extending out 20' and being 24' wide..I would like to have a support posts at the two outside corners..What can I use for a 24' span to support the roofing? I get snow here so snow load involved.. Lams, I-beam? Pic shows...

Yes does slop down some, about 16" from garage floor to 20' out at end of Car Port..The 4/12 pitch is just to match the other roof at front of house which makes end against house about 5' tall, forgot to label..I hadn't originally thought that the lean to would be that "thick" but since it is...

Nothing other than what I own or associate with would have a need to get in the Car Port, most I care is I don't rap my 6' 2" head..ouch..

Here is first effort...

Dustball: Nice..Rotate around front of your house and make come out 20' and thats about what I want.. In process of making sketch and will post when I get it understandable..I wouldn't mind it being made out of steel for snow load/span..Seb.
