Homestead Style Carport | Conventional Lumber/Timber Mix Build

Did you use 1x4 strapping for the roof?

Great job

I have a similar situation in the UP of Michigan. But I don’t like the concept, because it seems like this simple roof would be a great wing in a high wind. Blockage of airflow at the margins of the roof would seem like a good idea.

Great video. I am going to build one of these for my horse. Thank you

My exact style I’m looking to emulate
Thanks 🙏

Really nice. Here in Florida I plan to build something like that using steel posts and will build a back fence to support it. Since we don't get snow I think I can get away with 2x4 rafters and 2x6 beams if I only make it 8' deep with 2' overhang in the front.

Suggestion: next time when cementing posts into the ground add more concrete above the ground level and slope the concrete like a cone away from the post; so water/runoff goes away from the post/dirts surface area around the bottom of the posts. It prevents the base of the post from rotting out quicker than it should.

Loved it. Exactly what I needed for chickens. Just wish i had a machine and that drill"bit" for digging the holes ...

Why in the hell would you say “BUILDING A LEAN TO” when clearly it’s FREE STANDING. Idiot

way good process , way great little cover on your property. good job.

How wide is it?

Thanks

First video I looked at for building my own free-standing lean-to and this was spot on. Thanks for taking the time to video your project!

Good job I have to build one myself. 12x12 Simple construction practices. Got to get in the dry and shade. Good vid

Hello The Fixer, thanks for this amazing job.
Question: what is the size of the lean to pe barn?
Thanks you made this project so simple.

Great job guys and terrific job I learned alot. And I’m off to build my own

I’m impressed what all they did with Rioby tools ,great job guys !

Good work. Turned out really nice! Thanks for sharing - gives me good ideas.

What are the overall dimensions ?

What is the height of the tall timber poles vs the short timber poles? Thanks

How far apart is each rafter?

Looks so cool.

How do you find it works without putting down Roofing felt first?? Do you have a condensation issue at times?

like how yall showed how to level the post on top

Never saw the square. Looks great though.

Hi what is the size of this shelter

Nice job; I plan on building one of these just a little bigger for my 2 tractors. I get some useful tips from the video; Thanks.

To me its not homesteadin if your using power tools

I love when people use pressure treated lumber for roofing that doesn't need to be pressure treated, but use random wood for beams that are in the ground. :)

This is what I’m talkin about. Awesome job on this.

Matt. You can do anything!
🥇🥇🥇

Do you have to double up on that timber on the ends ?

grinder cuts will rust. buy you a nibbler

Awesome build, more working and less talking, video has nice tempo and perfect selection of background music,

Gonna have to thumbs down you on this one. Voice over 100%. Just kidding on the thumbs down.

Looks good

I am shocked to see you using pressure treated wood for the rafters. That seams like a waste of money. They won't see that much weather. Regular lumber would have been cheaper. But it was another great video.

Again I enjoyed your work and the memories. Peter and I built a Pergola similar.
But our upright were in cement filled tall plant pots. Simply because we couldn't touch the house walls or dig because of pipes.
We live in Rochdale Council housing. But we had grapes growing over.
Now we're old, you stir up the memories of 2 wouldn't be DEFEATED old folks.
Thank you

Many others questioned the poles in ground. If you would have used a 1' high piece of Sonotube concrete form at the top of the post hole, and then sloped the concrete to the post at top of the tube,. You would have added years to the post. You never want the top of the concrete to be below grade. Your setup will channel water between post and concrete. This could be fixed in the summer.

This is amazing, I love it.

So many awesome projects on your channel! Super satisfying result

This is on my list of things to do once the weather breaks in the spring. How did you make the birds mouth cuts look so easy? It looked like you didn't really have to measure them....just trace them out. Thats the only thing i'm nervous about with the upcoming build.

The chickens on fast motion are a hoot 😆😆

Really fun to watch. Keep it up brother!

Nice lean to! Love that snow. Missing the North 😔

Awesome! I love how you incorporated the cherry trees! I never thought to do something like that. It gives the build a really authentic look and keeps it in sync with all the nature around it. Really well done!

Love that the uprights are trunks of fallen trees. Makes it all look more rustic and less pristine.

Very nice, looks like a fun and practical project.

It's the perfect shelter

🤙🏾🤗
