10'x20'. i have needed to get the silver car home so i have access and put the engine in. i couldn't work on the 73' while it has been stored in the neighbor's pole building. i didn't want to just tarp it and have it sit in a moisture rich environment. i'll pick up a couple of DRY-Z-AIRs today to place in the interior. the carport is a costco item. 100 times+ cheaper than a framed garage. besides the $ i have no time for the engineering, permitting process, new slab, and build process. well engineered for what it is and the instructions were fairly straight forward. the super sat in the truck all day making sure i stayed on task. when i get the house garage storage situation squared away (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) the 70' ford p/u can move into the 'costco special'.

Nice! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I need to do something like this.

Do you have a moisture barrier under the gravel?

Not a bad way to go. Flaps open for ventilation as needed and it's portable as well. That helps!

no vapor barrier. that's why i'm going to put the DZAs in the 73'. there is enough of a gap at the covering bottom edge to allow for some air circulation when the ends/windows/side door are zipped up. the garage was $217. no pesky HOA CCRs to contend with. the parking area is somewhat sheltered/shaded from the direct sunlight most of the day. if i think there's going to be UV deterioration i'll get a one of those blue/silver sided tarps (silver side up) for an additional top cover.

Looks great! A good days work.

How much $$ from Costco?

I have had one for about 8 years. I think is was about $125 eight years ago. I replaced the top cover 2 years ago and that alone was about $85 ... and the quality is not nearly as good as the original. It's starting to show wear.

I've been putting a cheap, sacrificial tarp over my pvc heavy duty tarp because the sun will eventually destroy it. Then I just get another cheap tarp and keep my good one in good shape.

I really need another 2 car garage....

the online stuff is crazy, call your local costco. i didn't pay the $449.95 i found in the search. that may have included shipping, don't know. the exact price i paid was $217.99+tax. the item # is 496840 (same as on the box) CAR CANOPY on the receipt.

just pushing the silver car got me all worked up.

hey kev, you want to open the top part of the side of the roof at the peak. if you drill the tube and put a long bolt thru it then you can bungee the flap over to like a 45 angle and still not get rain into it.

you need air to circulate and not trap moisture in there. my brother had one and sealed it up nice and EVERYTHING turned green.... inside and out!

Those typically last a year or two up here in the snow belt...
Three if you remember to brush off the snow every 6 inches or so...

the way it sets it up leaves plenty of gap all the way around the bottom. i think the gravel is a good way to go rather than sitting on a wet slab.

I had one years ago. Be careful with the moisture problem. Mine acted like a greenhouse 'very humid' ruined the 66 t-bird I had in it.

That's why my brother opened up the peaks

I've had the same unit for three years. Impressed with the fit and quality of the zippers. Went together easily although it might have been smoother without Greenie's supervision. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) It's held up very well and ventilation on gravel has been adequate.
