Metal carport for tractor storage

Posted by Fritz Campbell on August 02, 2008 at 03:06:40 from (98.21.21.86):

I need to get some place to store more tractor stuff since my polebarn must have shrunk in size over the last few years. I have been considering adding one of the metal roof /side carports that you see just about everywhere now. A good friend of mine let me look over his building that is the typical pitched roof type with the steel panel ribs running the depth of the building. He doesn't have a door on his (although he could easily add one) just the sides and back. I want to go with the heavier 12 ga square tubing for snow load here in western PA and was considering the 24' x 26' model with roof and sides with 7' uprights for additional head room. I plan on sliding the building up against the back of my existing pole barn as I'm not worried about a tight seal between the carport and the polebarn. I'm leary of how the rain and snow will drain off the roof with the ribs running the depth of the building and know that I will need to pitch the building to the front to get the water to run. They also have typical pitched roof models with the roof panel ribs running with the pitch of the roof like a conventional building - but they are more expensive. I'm just going to sit the building on a gravel base and leave the front open. Any experiences with these types of carport buildings that I should be looking for? Thanks!
