In this carport assembly video we show:
- The "carry a 155-pound box alone" trick
- Site set-up and assembly tricks
- Translating the stripped down alpha-graphic instructions into Tab A Slot B results
- Unfurling and managing the vacuum-packed covering
- Pulling the cover over the frame--waaaaayyyy not easy until it is
- Locking the frame to the ground with Spax timber screws
Result:
- Dry space to store jobsite supplies--including us--in arctic temps and high wind conditions in well-above freezing temps. Concrete, tools, and the charging center stayed dependably dry, something not dependably with tarps, Tyvek or sheet plastic.
- It takes 2-hours or so to set up (the first time, also while making a video about it and it'll take the same to break down and store, but unlike the million janky canopies production companies gave us for TV builds or that we tried ourselves, this thing is bomb proof. Those other things are in the trash.
- Heavy but storable when not in use
