Well, the wintery weather got here before I finished, and lacking a garage, I've decided I need a carport.
So I'm going to "build" one for the HQ to live in over winter while I work on it.
required equipment:
4x 60 litre drums (free)
4x tall poles (free)
2x 5 metre lengths of 6mm steel rod ($7)
3x large tarpaulins ($25)
4x bags of quick-set cement ($20)
And hopefully I should have a complete carport by the end of tomorrow
Work has begun. Those cross-braces go straight through the vertical poles. They make it nice and sturdy
There's also a set of three cross-braces down the bottom in the cement.
