Car port for the boat

[Bob Smith]

Needed to get some weather protection storage for the boat. Not a lot of room left but made it work. Prep for the carport was by hand as too small a job to rent a machine. Instead of building another one, I bought one including delivery and installation. A bit higher than needed but should work fine. Not much room to get into the garage and a bit tight backing into from the road.

Have the boat at the marina now so just the trailer in the spot. Photo of the boat before the cover was installed

We have a 2 car that the boat sits under along with a truck.  Neighbors moved and gave it to us the weekend after we got the boat.

Nice of the neighbor, and I bet the truck is happy too. I found the hardest part of building one instead of buying installed was coming up with large enough ladders to work from.

Loooks good Bob.  The rv one looks good too.  Fits nicely. Stuff certainly lasts longer covered

What was the total cost.   I was thinking something like that in the back of our lot for my enclosed trailer.  That design provides easy way to enclose one side and keep the snow out

Dave, carport ran close to 2,500 installed for a 31 ft 12 ft wide 12 high. One side panel and 12 ga material instead of 14 ga. standard roof sheeting. Lots of options (but it will cost you) and more than a few places selling them, just do a search on the computer.
Prep work and gravel not included. Permit, well I guess I forgot that part, Good neighbors and dead end road.

You need a permit for the car port? Does it have a foundation?

[Bob Smith]

Shawn, if it was canvas no permit needed(temporary structure)  but metal even just sitting on gravel, but attached with ground pins, Kitsap County wants a permit since it is over 120 sq ft. Just another silly government thing.

Been looking at those too. Need for trailer and container.

No permit here as they consider them "temp" buildings.

Yep, sometimes just paying for it is the better way.
