I am kicking the idea around. I have never priced one out, that may be the encouragement I need. I just got 2 40' containers and kicking the idea of building truss's to weld to the top of the containers. I 'd like to put 20' between the containers. Hopefully I will start getting quotes back today. If it 5-6k, I think I would pay that.

Nope. They do good work with out doubt. Thats more than I will spend. Still looking for ideas to build the roof off the top of the containers.skyhightree1":31gikky9 said:saltbranch":31gikky9 said:14k for 4.5" in ground 6' with concrete. 2-7/8" with 1:12 pitch and 26 guage galvalume ...thats for 40x4014
Are you happy with that price?
I have one of these, its about 10 yrs old now. I have seriously thought about buying 2 of these and spacing the containers out to right footage and mounting them in between the containers. I could weld a rail to mount the carport to the containers and buy the cheap ones and so the eve would stick up 13' or so. I could use the carport to build the eves off of and add more tin to extend over the containers. Its the cheapest way out. Sky, they sell for 595.00 and 695.00 down here, installedskyhightree1":2n6npsb2 said:

This is what I have for my Tractor shed, I added 5" wood round posts lag screwed to each vertical leg to keep it in place. Works well for me.skyhightree1":2t23oiqe said:
