  • Build your own carport – calculate and adjust post lengths correctly

    A construction site with a foundation of concrete blocks, crushed stone flooring and wooden beams laid over the base, indicating the early stages of building a carport structure. www.commaik.de

    The kit for the carport was delivered and the weather was getting better every day. The construction of the carport was now within reach. In order for the construction to run smoothly, the work had to be well planned. As well as catering for the construction team, I had to make sure that I had the tools I needed in stock. I also had to check my preparatory work, especially the height of the post anchors, to avoid any nasty surprises when putting up the carport. In the following article, I write everything you need to know about the necessary tools and how to calculate the correct post lengths.
