Hi Baja Man,
I am always doing things the hard way. Purchased a 10x20 car canopy from Costco to cover my 23ft mh. It was not tall enough...so went to a pipe company and purchased some thick pipe that just fit inside the tubes of the canopy frame. Then adjusted it upward to the correct height and screwed it together. Then attached concrete blocks to the pipe and secured with concrete anchors in the driveway. Now have a 26ft motorhome that is not as tall so shortened the poles. It still covers the house portion of the motorhome...just the cab sticks out.
When the original cover needed replacing,Costco was not selling replacements so I purchased from a local vendor....cover too large so back to the pipe company and lengthened the pipes on top so now have a 11x21 ft carport.
We have had some 50mph windstorms and its still standing going on 7 yrs. In some of the stronger winds I attached some ropes to prevent as much side to side movement, but now don't even bother with doing that. The plastic cover attached to the frame adds a lot of strength. Replacing the cover every three to four years is about $250 or say $85/yr.
You need a larger cover so costs are considerably higher. Would really like the metal cover but for us space just does not allow for that option.
