hey everybody sam here and welcome back to the channel in today's video
we finally get a little bit of storage on our new tennessee property it's nothing permanent
per se but it is a perfect solution for us our current needs budget and abilities of dunas
so let's put this thing together that's right it's totally blown out you gotta keep watching to see
exactly what in the world that is we have picked ourselves a spot for this carport to be assembled
there's a little bit of cleanup work to do a couple of scrub bushes and little trees
plus i want to go ahead and push mow the whole area to make it as clean as
possible so we can go and assemble this thing so first things first a little bit of brushwork
you guys are on the north side of the camper which is in between the camper in the woods
we continue working in this area i don't want to cut down this cedar tree because it is a very nice
looking tree however what i'm going to do is i'm going to go ahead and trim it and give it more of
a tree shape okay like deciduous tree trunk then foliage rather than more of an evergreen style
that'll allow us to be around it and get around and kind of it not be in our way
but still let us let it grow and hang out here and stay where it's been
got our cordless pole saw here i'm going to use this to limb this cedar tree and then move along
the wood line cutting down any kind of small little saplings and things that are in our way
we'll drag it over to or forming to be a brush pile and otherwise keep clearing
out the area to give us plenty of room for this 10 by 20 carport slash garage
so
we've decided to take down this little oak tree here it is a tiny little scraggly sapling it's
got some damage to it it doesn't look very healthy plus it's really crowding the big
guys we really want to keep around anyway so elijah and i recently restored this axe that
i've had for a very long time this is my favorite axe so we recently spent some workshop time and
got it all fixed up put a new handle on it that was the main part of the restoration really
so nice new hickory handle we soaked this thing in some rust remover and got it looking pretty good
i have no clue how old this is i feel like it is extremely old but antiques roadshow may argue with
me there's no markings on it but this has always been my favorite axe it is very very sharp it is
a good probably a six pound axe and perfect length and size for chopping wood and maybe cutting down
trees so elijah has his safety glasses and he is ready to try and chop down his very first tree
i'm a little bit nervous a little bit nervous i'll bring you guys in close
so you can get to see the chopping action and root on elijah so he can get it done
do you want to try so it's okay to choke up on it if you need to so for
these parts i'm gonna choke up on it put on my glasses too so down down down and sideways
down down down sideways
see how that's notching it out so i'll let you finish it
yes
this is just a tough tree and heavy
you're almost there don't give up next time okay all right now drag it over more work
are you liking your homestead life yet i like it
all right we have prepped our surface and area for assembling this carport garage we're going
to start tearing into these boxes find the instructions and do a little show and tell
while elijah tears in to box number two which is where we presume
the instructions are i want to talk to you guys a little bit about these polls
your eyes are not deceiving you these are galvanized poles whenever i found this carport
online that was the one of the coolest things that i liked about it is that it's galvanized poles
most carports of this style and price point are just painted steel and we all know how
long that'll last not very long so the fact these are galvanized is awesome i can also tell here
there's some little quick detents so that's pretty neat for assembly but i might be getting ahead
of myself so let's dig out the instructions take the time to read and do things properly
okey dokey smokey we have our instructions we've read through steps one two three and
four yeah hooked on the back to make sure that was it it's a pretty basic assembly
step one is to assemble the roof frame all your poles while it's here on the ground
step two is to attach the legs to one side of it then put your roof cover on step three
attach the other side of the leg so then it's gonna be you know a standing structure
finish attaching the roof to that side and then you put your sides on
there are several steps in between little things here and there but overall this style structure
is very easy to do and hopefully should not take us too long in the interest of time i'm going to
put you guys over so you can have the scenic view of the assembly and we'll just try and knock this
thing out because we don't have a whole lot of daylight left and we just want to get this thing
put together don't be worried when we get this thing put together we'll definitely have a show
and tell you know sam he likes a jabber so stick around for show and tell after assembly is done
do
with the carport now standing on its own legs we can now put the feet on the bottom of the poles
bolt them with these little bolts and wing nuts and also attach the horizontal crossbars that
help hold the legs together as far as proper spacing and everything down close to the ground
okay
a tiny bit
there we go
okay
elijah is down there working on putting the ball bungees on the bottoms of the walls
they go up very easily i really like the fact that you attach the walls with the
ball bungees it makes for an easy installation easy removal you're not locked in to a certain
layout perhaps and very easy to swap panels out or just take a whole side out when you want to
we got just a few more to do on the sides and then we get to close up the ends of this thing
for anchoring the shed down inside i put a little slip knot on this rope
i'm going to attach it to the top bar pass it through the grommet that i include in the cover
and then outside to a tree because well that's what we have close by and ratchet it down so that
this thing is pulled at 45 degree angles and should not i hope go anywhere in strong winds
do
so
there you have it guys there is the quick 10 by 20 portable garage
we're using it for tool and equipment storage and it is awesome
already we have been able to clean up a bunch of the stuff out here that we had covered under tarps
or not covered under tarps or we had to haul back and forth so having this dry storage space is
awesome already we're going to get a lot of use out of this thing and over the course of time
you can guarantee we'll show you guys how it holds up the good the bad the ugly so if you're
curious or want to just see how a quick tent portable garage structure holds up over time
