Costco Car Shelter
I purchased a Costco Car Shelter this year. 10' wide x 20' long and approx 10' high. I raised the height 1 foot. My van might have fit before raising it but I never tried it because I had already made the extensions. I back into the carport on a bit of an angle so the extra height makes it easier.





The extensions are 2" emt (electrical) pipe epoxied into the original carport bases which I had to ream out a bit wider. The emt pipe is filled with concrete to within 6" of the top edge.



The eight pvc feet are secured with four 3" lag screws in each to a double layer of treated 2 x 6. The 2 x 6 forms a continous frame. To anchor it, I purchased 8 pieces of 3' long threaded rod that I drove into the ground through the wood frame and tightened the nuts. I think that is sufficient for my location. No tornados around here. 

With the extensions the shelter is 11' from the ground to the peak.



CDN$209 for the shelter at the local Costco.

When we dug out the sod in preparation for road base and gravel we found two 4" sewer cleanouts about 10" down. I would never have known they were there. These covers make it easy to access them.



The Costco car shelter came with a zippered sliding front panel and a back panel. I decided to put them on for the winter. I put the zippered front panel in the back because it's easier for me to access my van that way.





I bought a cover for my van last year so I figured I might as well use it even though the van is under the shelter also, I didn't want the tarp type material of the shelter touching the continental tire or the front bumper.





The white supports are closet organizer shelf supports. When purchased in bulk they are inexpensive. They're not super strong but every little bit helps.



Oh yeah, same house different siding in case you noticed the color change.
