I built almost a complete carport over the rangers parking spot.
I have a carport on the side of the garage and one in front of the garage over the half where the wife parks but i decided to use up my wood from the rv carport i pulled down in june or july and see if could get s frame up before having to buy wood.
Nope, 17' or 23' is just to odd of a size to have any 2x12s or 2x10s laying around at so i had to go buy two 2x12x16 snd teo 2x10x16 so i could do the exterior frame. My left over wood then fit three or four cross pieces inaide because i needed 174 and 3/4" and these were 150" long. So once i did that, i dug around and found some corrugated metal and was able to put up a 6' row of metal at the end of the carport. I put up some of the shade mesh nets over the opening by the garage door for now because i need two more 2x12x16 and then the rest of the corrugated metal and i will be in the shade next summer when i do any car/truck work.
It will be so nice. Man, what a difference it has made today and yesterday while putting a new auto trans in the 03 wrangler. I think i will just sit out there om a lawn chair and watch cars drive to the fishing pier once i am done.
Thats what me neighbor does. He had all kinds of shade in his yard so now i understand how much nicer it is.
This is the mesh nets i have. 6 or 8x10, i think
God dang, sideways again
Thats before i out in the cross pieces and corrugated metal
