Do you mind if I ask what this cost you. and a good source to buy it from.
Mine was right at $3600 with tax. I had to pay and extra $100.00 to the installers so that they would cut around the roof line of my carport. BUT because they had to borrow my 30foot ladder he added the extra 6 bracing arms that you can see on the rafters. Mine is NON-certified. Normally a NON certified would have only 6 braces(one at each end and the middle). Mine has 12. the 12 foot tall siding down the one side locks in the front to back movement(keeps it from moving in the wind). We have had wind this year too.
Once I add the 3 foot down the carport side that will lock this thing in real good. They drove 3 foot rebar through base and into a my gravel driveway. Certified would have been the corkscrew style wind tie downs plus a brace at each rafter. The siding acts as those braces that would be placed on the bottom plate and the upright poles. I paid extra for the "A" frame style also. Hope this helps you.
Oh yeah TNT Carports out of My Airy, NC same place Carolina Carports is located. Both are about the same around here because we are about 70 miles from them.
