DIY Carport

I am tired of scrubbing the tree sap off my Ram so i think i am gonna put up a carport. Anyone know a cheap DIY carport kit? My setup would be three leg in grass and one in concrete, if that is possible.

let me know.

thanks.

the metal carports you see for sale everywhere are only like 600-800 bucks for a decent sized one

i dont know how far. is it near 249/1960. im about 10 mins north of conroe.

what about setting some 4x4s on concrete and just buildin one yourself using some tin for the roof. maybe frame up a little place for a slab. shouldnt be very expensive if you do it yourself

I put up a 14' X 40' "poly barn" I bought from farmtek. They have feet for concrete and for grass. Click here for their web site. I paid about $3000 including the mounting feet, anchor bolts etc. I wanted a building that I could fit my camper through, hence the 15' roof peak.
