DIY carport

[Zoidberg]

In January this year I had my car damaged by some big ass hail we had in my area. Don't have any cover for my car when it's at home and it was the biggest pain to get it repaired. Yes I have insurance, but $600 excess and the repairs on my 2010 car (that I bought new) aren't as perfect as it should be.

Anyway, I'm really don't want to go through that crap again. Anybody got suggestions for a DIY carport kit?
I can't afford to get someone to do it but I'm willing to put it up myself. There is no cement slab to put it on but I can put some cement blocks in the ground if need be.

I've done it, bought a kit from bunnings or home hardware for about $500 (8 years ago). Did the cement blocks way as well and there was no issue. The kits look a bit flimsy when they're not put together but once built they're fine, even though I did reinforce it with extra screws. Took about a day all up.

Yeah I can see that happening to me. Always had a bit of a short fuse.

Maybe I'll head to Bunnings and see what they got.

I can endorse these guys to. Know a few people whom have used them.
