THANKS for the detailed set-up instructions. I turned to RU-vid after encoutering difficulty. After watching the set-up was a snap. ALUMINUM poles is the way to go! All I need now is a video of the best way to return the tent into the zippered bag! Caveat: don't try this on a full stomach, else risk soiling yourself 😞
The following comments are copy-paste from another video review of someone's Eagle Carports install that I posted. I think it's important for people to know what happens when you work with Eagle Carports. Stellar sales experience set us up with confidence... but buyer beware!!! We're currently in the in-between: our garage was erected, a shoddy job - many issues match this person's (in a different video I found) - but we also have other issues. I asked them what options we have. They said they'd send out the original crew to fix the problems. The photos and videos I sent to Eagle Carports were taken AFTER I had the original crew "fix" them, before they left the first time (in other words: don't send the same crew). So, Eagle Carports said they'll send a different crew. First date they were slated to come, I received a text saying they would be delayed til the next week. Then, it was pushed to Friday. Friday morning, they informed me they were running late. No one came Friday. HELLO SATURDAY MORNING AT 6:45AM (the ONE morning I can sleep in): Phone call, "I'm at your front gate." Um, what?! NO! There was no call yesterday preparing us for this, and it's Saturday morning at 6:45am! WTH?! To inform y'all of our issues: Again, same as this video, at least what I watched of it (admittedly didn't watch it all - I was rudely awakened by their fix-it guy so I'm up now and going to post my experience to save others from this experience). Other issues: our price point meant free matching hardware - we got silver (our garage is off-white/bone colored). All the edges (bottom and sides) had exposed insulation sticking out... really good wicking material to grow mold after 1 good rain. The crew didn't erect it per instructions: parts labeled for "back" were installed on the front, the garage doors didn't line up with the prefab brackets, so the crew made their own holes. Same dented-in overtightened screws. Really concerned about the roof construction after watching someone else's review showing it leaking- our interior is covered by the insulation, so we won't know how much it leaks until it's saturated (which will be too late: welcome, mold!) Of interest/note: our concrete slab was perfect BEFORE. Since the erection, there are cracks throughout the slab traversing end-to-end. We gave them the date of slab completion... We had asked about OPTIONS. They offered to fix it. Stung after the first crew (who also demanded us to feed them! Yes, we offered breakfast tacos as we did for our concrete contractors, but they came to our door asking for lunch, and THEN again DINNER! Thank goodness we had a frozen pizza) we hesitantly agreed. Now, this morning's rude awakening. Frankly, my husband would've been happier to accept $ off the bill, except that whatever we would do will void the warranty. Yeah, I'm starting to think that they only post the best reviews, and that they remove anything negative. Now I'm curious how many GOOD reviews are recent? Perhaps they're all pre-COVID? 🤔
I wish I could say for sure but without specifics its very difficult. If it's a full size pickup with a large camper or topper, I'd say no, it would not fit well. However, the connection hole is just tent fabric so if you are so inclined, a pretty simple sowing job would probably do the trick. Happy camping.
It's so fast I would have liked to see close up how the belt sits in place so i could do it myself. It's like watching the ending of a Benny Hill comedy show 😂
From what I was taught in trade school with the plasma cutter, that cut he did on the mower blade looked good. The torch angle should be more perpendicular to the work piece. That silver double hoop piece laying on the bench is a guard. You can snap it on to the ceramic cup of the torch to make sure the tip of the torch stays about an eighth of an inch off the work piece. Also when starting at the edge of a piece of metal, ignite the plasma just off the edge of the work piece and then drag in to it. I hope this helps, as I stated these are tips my instructor gave me when teaching me how to use a plasma cutter. You can also look for something called a "drag tip" that will make the silver hoop standoff thing not necessary. You can just switch out the regular tip with a drag tip and then just drag it across the work piece lightly instead of worrying about how far the arc tip is from the surface of the work piece. I prefer those over the standoffs like what came with your kit. You don't need such a steady hand with the drag tips. Anyway enough of my rambling- have a great day!
Matt C, those comments and tips are very much appreciated. We're just kind of hacking through this thing and you've been very helpful. Please comment anytime!
About to have the same size done at my house with a 12 ft. lean-to added. Doing the slab myself just wanted to see who did the metal building and how was it constructed. Are you in Mississippi?
Thanks for the comment. I recommend slowing the video down to .25 at about 1:27. I agree it is hard to tell exactly how to do it from the video. It's been quite a while since I made it now. And I'm sorry but I don't have the original video nor the strider anymore. Hopefully you'll be able to catch what you need in slow-mo.
Hi. I finally got the belt. I removed all the parts. And took out the old belt as well. However a bit confused how to put the néw belt. Do you have a slower version of your video please? Would be really helpful to see how the belt sits and which side up and how to adjust it as well. Thank you!!
Hi, where were you able to find the belt? What was the belt part number? I look up the model number of the machine, but I can't find a belt that matches. Thank you!
Thanks for the comment. I don't know much about concrete but I know there have been zero cracks (so far). Great building. Have really enjoyed it. No regrets.
@@richbaker8505 My primary concern with the slab is there was no lip to prevent blowing rain from making it under the frame and rotting it out over time.
Eagle Carports put up a garage for me, and it's great! I have one problem though, the walk through door is not square, and they won't stand behind it. Beware!
They put up one for us....i wish I'd never heard of the idiots. Roof has leaked since day one. A group of Mexican men who spoke like 5 words of English came out in the pouring rain and put it up. They had electrical cords running through puddles of water. They screwed up everything. The walk in door isn't right. I just found out that they put the roof panels up backwards and that's why it leaks. The window has zero screws holding it in. I ordered the building to have 9x7 garage doors.....they made the dang hole 9x7! The woman told me to make sure my door was exactly 9x7....i did. So instead of coming out to move the posts in and close the openings up about 1.75 inches they told me "it's fine it'll just have a small gap around the doors." I told them it's not correct and was basically told the owner knows everything about these buildings and said it's right so put the doors up. It's supposed to be heated and cooled so I told them that wasn't going to happen. She had me so mad I went ballistic she kept saying "we have you on audio recording." I told her your boss is a dumbass and I'd better not catch one of your people on my property or else. See they were real nice when we purchased it and when we first had issues. Then when it came time to fix it....crickets.
