Car Canopy - This is not a drill

 I ordered a Peaktop car canopy on March 12; it was supposed to be delivered March 25-29. It arrived March 19 and things got real. Two boxes; the long one weighed 71 pounds.

All the poles were in the long skinny, incredibly heavy box

These parts were hiding under the PE cover

I know it looks pretty ramshackle, but every part in the parts list was included, and every metal piece, including the poles, had a sticker "1", "2", or "A", "B".

The pieces snap together with spring-loaded "button" fasteners. This is one half of the roof.

Roughly an hour to unpack, inventory, and assemble to this point.

I plan to put the PE (polyethylene tarp material) cover on as soon as it's not raining tomorrow. The instructions say put the tarp on , then tilt it up (resting on Casey's truck) to attach four legs on the green side. Then lift up the side next to the truck and attach the other four legs. Easy peasy.

According to the measurements, the ridge won't fit under the garage eave. We'll see.

This shows that a permanent carport this long would be closer to the street than my neighbors to the west. Also, note the posts leaning against the garage door.
