I bought a 10X20 cheap carport with sides to use as a woodshed this summer, been working well keeping the wood dry. We got about 6 inches of snow Wednesday afternoon, didn't have time to take the snow off the carport. Guess I should have made time. At least the wood is still covered.

I've had that happen with bird netting over blueberries.
Amazing how heavy and what snow can do.
I take it down in Sept. now.

Fabric requires a lot of reinforcing for snow loads.
So does the support tubes.


We got some wind here and the neighbor's carport is in the woods.
Canvas, rods , ropes, the whole things is now - over - there.
Doesn't look very salvageable.


-and that DOES look like a big fat a$$.

There really isn't that much snow on it. It was fine in the morning, but I think the wind is what did it in. Probably going to clear the snow and build the frame out with 2X4's, and re-use the top and sides, as long as they aren't ripped.

Next summer I'm going to build a lean to off the back of the garage. Wanted to do it this past summer, but needed to re-roof the back of the house.

At least no firewood was harmed..lol

The round top shelters can take a snow load.

I think the thing about insanity definition might apply there.
"I just KNOW it'll work THIS time. :roll:
Geez, just break out the nail gun and some 2x's and get to work. Trusses HAVE to be engineered around here to handle the snow loading. I guess those guys didn't plan for sales to snow states?
