Looking at some metal carports online today and one of the things I noticed was the certified carports come standard with screw-in mobile home type anchors vs essentially long spikes to hold the carport to the ground.
On our land, we ARE the Saudis Arabia of rocks - so driven-in anchors or even screw-in type would never make it into the ground. I would dig a post hole, drop some threaded rod in it with some kind of disk on it at the bottom, fill with concrete and bolt down the carport.
So is the difference between 130 mph certified metal carports all in the anchor type or that and additional construction, like heavier gauge material, extra bracing, etc.
Is a certified carport even necessary anyway? I've seen them collapse under snow load, maybe from wind damage - just don't recall. What I do know is that probably 99% of the carports around my neck of the woods are very likely uncertified and the cheapest thing money can buy - yet they stay standing year after year.
Going to put up 2 or 3 of these around the place - some for hay and at least one for equipment. Just trying to get the best bang for the buck.

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
