Erecting the carport myself saved a huge amount of money. Construction was straightforward for a competent handyman like me. The kit of parts was very complete with drill bits, nuts & bolts, screws, silicone sealant, touch-up paint, rivets and even a rivet gun. Quality of finish is excellent. I needed to make the cover high enough to fly over my shed so I used some concrete blocks set in concrete to lift the legs by about a foot and fixed the wall plate at a suitable height, (see pictures). I am very pleased with the final result. My only small negatives were: 1) Attaching the end plate to the gutter. I found that the stainless self tapping screws were too tight in the alluminium moulding so kept snapping off, (stainless is not as strong as the normal high carbon used for self tappers). Luckily I was able to use a Mole wrench to unscrew the broken threads. I ended up drilling the holes to a slightly larger size, (8.5mm i think) 2) I struggled to feed the rubber lip into the wall plate groove until my wife realised that only one edge of the rubber goes into the slot. After that it was easy-peasy!
