Need help finding a carport kit. A friend has a log home and wants a post and beam 2-3 car carport with hip roof. Similar to what is at interstate rest areas. Metal roof but heavy timber construction. But would prefer to buy a pre fab kit.

Any suggestions or links?
This is the only thing close I could find. http://www.cedarforestproducts.com/hexoctpbpav.html

Thanks in advance.

Very easy to construct from scratch.
Will it be attached or free standing?
What type of heavy winds in the area?
Can you get heavy timber locally?
Will it have concrete for a floor?

Detached, some wind but no snow load to worry about. Gravel floor.
We were hoping to find a kit with the steel plates and wood beams drilled, like the stuff you see at parks and rest area shelters.
Someone has to make these things.

Heavy timber isn't that available here but can be ordered. Just figured there had to be a mfg out there somewhere. :dunno:
It's going on my in-laws farm for the truck and horse trailer cover. Last thing we need there is something else to build from scratch, if you know what I mean. But looks like we may have to. :headscrat
