It sure does make it nice to not have to load or clean the boiler in the rain or snow its a 18x21x6ft on the sides Ill post a picture later today :thumbup:
-
I built a 12x24 3 sided building around mine, also store some wood in it.
-
Here is my 6048 with same size car port. Should of made the car port bigger. Added sides to keep more of the snow and rain off when wind is blowing. Added lights for night time fills.

That s a nice set up, I tried to upload my pictures from my phone to computer when i tried to attach pic it said it was to large. :-[
-
Pit Crew, how come there's no snow on the ground?
-
Slim, the pic with no sides is from last fall and the pic with sides is a couple months ago. 8 inches on the ground now.
-
Now I feel better, we just got hit with another 8+ day before yesterday.
-
pwdiver, right click on pic, open in paint,select stretch and scew,resize to 50% on both. Hit save and try again.
-
That is a nice idea, checked with american family insurance and stove has to be a min of 10ft from wood or 25ft from insured structure

pwdiver - You can also resize your pics by going to Google and type in "image resizing" There's a free downloadable program called "image resize". After you have the program downloaded, right click on the pic and select image resize where it'll open and you can change the size of the pic. Save the changes. Then upload the changed pic to the site. I hope this helps. Roger

That's crazy. Everybody I know puts their wood as close as possible to their boiler. Mine is behind the boiler and not by the door.

I so need a carport like that, this summer for sure
-
My carport is not covered under my home owners insurance because of the design mine is only a 6 post, but I cant complain for 700.00 dollars it does a great job. I will get a picture or 2 posted soon mine is to cluttered up right now. :thumbup:
-
Here is a picture of the front. I now have a black mesh tarp sold at Harbor Frieght strung across the opening like a shower curtain. It helps with the blowing snow getting in on the wood.
-
I am going to have to put a cover or partial wall on the back of my carport to keep the snow from blowing in. :)

8 inches? So why no snow on the ground?
Slogged thru some almost hip deep stuff in the woods last weekend cutting wood.

-Yeah, when it`s a really cold blowing snow Its like not even having a roof over the wood without the sides on. With the front closed in like that I thought I would be good to go. It helped alot but when the snow is going sideways Its getting in there. Thats when I put the mesh tarp on and that really limited the amount that got in. With the sides and front on it dosent look like a carport, thats the best part.
-
Looks like a little garage to be honest. I'm going to cover my next one, half the corrosion I have on my home built one is more from rain I think than actually burning wood.
Soon as I stick a post in the ground here it gets taxed. I'm going to built racks that hold half a cord each and place em under the roof with the yard lift.
-
I am in the next few weeks going to puts some crush and run under my carport I do have some mussy spots :)
-
Never heard the term crush and run, must be a granulated or something. I got some road grindings and put in mine after the top soil was removed.
For those concerned about my snow on the ground, old pics just showing what I have, I`ll take some pics today and post.LOL
-
Crush @ run is smaller than no.57gravel

Pics from yesterday 2-15-14. you can see mesh tarp on front ....you can see snow on the ground,at least 8" although it dosen`t look it in the pic. and you can see I need to transfer some more wood in to the shed. Have some drying inside in a couple places on wagons and trailers ready to move.
-
Well it looks I'm late to the party with this question. I'm looking at doing a carport over my
6048. Is there any chimney clearence issue ? I think the top of the carport will by 12'6" ,and the top chimney is 13' 7".
-
Be careful, my neighbor did the same thing but made it a large wood structure. He has a heatmor and one day the blower was running when one of his employe's fill it. Guss what happened. It burned to the ground before the fire department got there. I know yours is metal but keeping wood that close to the boiler is asking for a fire, didn't you ever have hot sparks come out the door when you fill it?
