Finally had the time and energy to put up the carport I bought almost a month ago. Full 8 hour job split up between two days. First time using self tapping screws/bolts. Was about 20 short of finishing the job but luckily my neighbour had a box and was able to finish.
Used an asphalt anchor that is supposed to be good for up to 1,500 pounds a piece, put 6 in. Do have to buy some better bolts for anchoring them, right now the bolts I bought are too long, but they are in and lined up so won’t be moving anytime soon.
I don’t always put together something big, but when I do I make sure to talk to my wife like she is an idiot when doing it. LOL, she is a saint for putting up with my crankiness during such builds.
