no its sitting in my garage, waiting for it to cool down!

 

Guardrail, that's awesome. I'm actually looking to build one too. Seems like a kit will end up being cheaper than if I make it myself. The only problem I see is that the tarp material the kits usually come with deteriorate rather quickly in the sun.

 

Check the web site. They have them for anything from a lawn tractor to an air plane hanger.

 

Farmtek carries a 15 year guarantee on the material. I went back an forth between steel and poly and for the money, I couldn't even touch a steel. I chose the Farmtek because of the thickness, the ratchet system to keep the material tight, and the fact that they are made in Iowa, not China.

 

I have no idea where to get a kit but I can suggest that you buy 3 sonotubes for the grass area. Dig 3-4 feet deep and bury the sonotubes. Use the embedded type simpson connectors and fill the tubes with concrete. This will give you stronger legs on the grass side.

 

i was only at 11k miles when i bought it so i still have a couple thousand miles before i hit the 15k service interval.

 

My 18'x18' carport w/no sides was $595 + tax installed...lots cheaper than a new paint job.
