I like this car port

11 years ago

Is the frame/structure made of metal or wood?
I am also wondering about its ability to withstand the wind? We live in hurricane country.
Thanks

It's built out of light weight steel. I'm not sure how it would hold up in a high wind area, I would imagine not very well.

Did you end up building this carport? IF so what modifications you found necessary for hurricane country?
