    24 x 24 DIY Awning/Carport

    I meant to get this built this summer but it just got to dang hot for my fat office dwelling butt. I had a 25 x 25 pad poured and made drawings for what I wanted. Figured out my cut list and ordered everything from Mueller.

    I had the plates put in the concrete when they poured so it was just a matter of getting busy.


    I didnt plan on having any help and my cheap arse didn’t feel like renting any equipment. I got my posts welded up last weekend and cut the material and welded up my trusses.

    The plan was to install boat winches on each corner post and crank the whole thing up on top of the posts. I got the winches and pulleys all welded up yesterday.



    Worked like a charm. Now to installing all the gutters, R-panel roof, trim, wiring and lights.

        How many miles did you run from post to post, cranking those handles?

                          Great idea with the boat winches. I might have to borrow that one.
