Another metal carport question

[gusg]

I have been looking into these carports that you put up yourself and can be enclosed. A 20X25 with a 7.5' wall height enclosed would be less than $3000. You are responsible for the garage door though. It will have the opening. We have a local dealer. You can check out the site below and see if there is a dealer in your area.

Hello-

Does the door to your carport measure 30' or 24'?

Looks like a biggun!

866-267-3790 is the toll free number for coast to coast carports, 18x21 for $595 installed. i just bought one last thursday, a foot taller than the standard $595 one, for $500 and i am going to install it myself. of course i'm just a little ways from where they make-em...the only reason i am doin it myself, is they will not level the carports, however the ground lays is about the way it goes in..they do have about 4 inches to play with from side to side, but i have an 18 inch drop in 18ft; so i spent last friday installing and leveling some cross ties on the low side, plus digging in the high side about 3 inches. still have to secure the cross ties somehow, and then will install the carport.

I bought one from my local farm supply store/John Deere dealer. They ordered it for me and had it delivered to the store. There are a lot of places around here that sell the low metal carports for cars with installation as part of the deal but I think you can opt to the installation yourself but you don't get a price break. I bought from the far supply at a higher price but I got a taller unit that has clearance for a tracor with the ROPS up.

the one i bought is one foot taller than the standard $595 installed carport; and i got it for $500. normally it's $40 for the extra foot height, another $40 for another foot..don't know how high they go, but i've seen some pretty tall ones.
the company i bought from distrubutes these carports from Arkansas to Colorado, and all states in between, plus into Tn.

heehaw - That's a good price. I was starting to get interested when I saw the name "Coast to Coast", but then you said "the company i bought from distrubutes these carports from Arkansas to Colorado, and all states in between, plus into Tn". Which implies they are not actually "coast to coast". I called the number to see if they cover Indiana and they don't. So, they define "Coast to Coast" much differently than I do! I wonder how their definition of "is" is? Thanks for the info.

could they not give you a dealer that handles Indiana?? i thought the same thing when i saw the name, and they told me where they cover..i bet there is a dealer with the same franchise that covers the rest of the states?? i'll look on the net and see if i can come up with another dealer..i know one thing, there are a lot of screws in this thing, and they do not go in very easily..i always thought they were aluminum, but they are galvinized steel, and the self drilling screws leave a little to be desired, but i tried predrilling, and thats tough too.
