Carport Project

[cedarranch]

Well, got the carport frame up. The green metal roof should be in next week. It is 12x20 and I put the 6x6x12 post in 3ft deep using my Leinbach post hole digger. I planned on using the same rustic cedar siding on the gables as I have on the house but I am having a hard time locating it. So I guess I will have to buy 1x8 rough cut cedar planks and make my own. I will also be installing brown gutters on both side to match the ones on my house.

Great job on the framework of the carport. Will you match the overhangs of the eaves and the gable ends with those of the house? Also, what is the pattern to the siding that you cannot find?
Interesting project. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Are you working from a set of plans or rolling your own?

 

[cedarranch]

I don't think I have ever followed a set of plans. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
It is as unique as I! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Thanks Robs, thought leveling it up some. But it would cause some drainage issue I did not have time to deal with. /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif

beenthere, I will try to snap a pic of the siding. Who knows, maybe one of you guys may have a source. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
