Car Port Canopies

[jussi]

Anyone have any recommendations for a carport canopy. It needs to be 17' x 20' and side walls would be preferred. I got 2 smaller ones from Kragen but the tarp ended tearing in less than a year. The places where the poles were connected would also break fairly easy with a gust of wind.

There seems to be a ton online. Anyone have personal experience.

I've never known Cabelas to sell junk. Everything I have gotten through them has been pretty much bomb proof...

Mind you those canopies you are talking about are intended for temporary use, not year round use. I would be stunned if ANY of them would last more than a year of continuous use...

I have wondered how stout those frames are. The canopies never last, and I have heard of a few people selling/scraping the frames, so I wondered about sheeting them, in pole barn sheeting.

If you want permanent, I'd go with an all metal one.
