Homestead Style Carport | Conventional Lumber/Timber Mix Build

🤙🏾🤗

It's the perfect shelter

Very nice, looks like a fun and practical project.

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

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!

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

Really fun to watch. Keep it up brother!

The chickens on fast motion are a hoot 😆😆

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.

So many awesome projects on your channel! Super satisfying result

This is amazing, I love it.

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.

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

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.

Looks good

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

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

grinder cuts will rust. buy you a nibbler

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

Matt. You can do anything!
🥇🥇🥇

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

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. :)

To me its not homesteadin if your using power tools

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.

Hi what is the size of this shelter

Never saw the square. Looks great though.

like how yall showed how to level the post on top

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

Looks so cool.

How far apart is each rafter?

What are the overall dimensions ?

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

How wide is it?

Thanks

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

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

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

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.

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.

My exact style I’m looking to emulate
Thanks 🙏

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

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 job

Did you use 1x4 strapping for the roof?
