Re: I need a garage/barn
A neighbor flew over my house and took this picture. To the right of the house is the main propane pad. You can also see a smaller one to the left under the fresh gravel. The shooting berm is in the back.

Re: I need a garage/barn
My pad is ready for the RVport and it arrives Tuesday. It should only take them a day to erect it.
It will be 17.5’ wide and 45 feet long. I’ll be able to put the slides out and still have a 4’ walkway on the side without slides. You can see the concrete propane pad to the lower right. It will have a dedicated 500 gallon tank.
It will be 13’ high with a 4’ wall from the bottom then a 6’ open wall topped with a 3’ wall on top. It should protect the RV and still give me a view out. At least that is the plan.

Smaller than yours at around 21'x24' but when the 3 man crew showed up to put up my carport they had it installed in around 3 hours. Sub-contractors for the carport manufacturer so I imagine they got paid by the job rather than a hourly wage. They had it down to an art form, no wasted movements. They had 2 more carports on their trailer that they said they would set up that day before they headed home. I built the back stud wall and framed the front for the garage door.

With a 500 gal. propane tank are you planning on keeping it heated during the Winter rather than winterizing it?

Re: I need a garage/barn
Thanks. Mine isn’t that much bigger in square feet but it has a snow load of 90 pounds which is twice the normal and 30% more than the required 60 pounds. That means it has a lot of trusses.dave77 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 29, 2023 3:34 pmSmaller than yours at around 21'x24' but when the 3 man crew showed up to put up my carport they had it installed in around 3 hours.

No it will be winterized. To keep the basement above freezing it also requires about 500 watts of electricity. I figure a person could pee in the toilet in the middle of the night and flush with antifreeze. The sink won’t be used although I’ll put gallon drinking water jugs in it if I have company. The 500 gallon tank will also be set up to fill barbie sized tanks.

They have barely been here 30 minutes and already have done a lot.

The work continues. This is the view from my upstairs window.

Re: I need a garage/barn
They have been working on it for nine hours and it’s still not done. Must say all four men are working hard and they seem to work as a team. I’m guessing it will be another hour.

Looking good, will be looking forward to seeing a photo of it with your motor home parked in it.

Re: I need a garage/barn
That's a real nice addition Gene. Great piece of mind to protect that beautiful motor home. Hope it's rated for all that snow.
