It's cheaper to build a pole shed than to buy one of those car ports..

I bought a used one 15x20 (I think) for $600.00  Took one hour to take apart and load on trailer and maybe two hours to put back together.  I put my OWF and firewood under it.  I believe a 15 x 20 stacked four feet high would hold 9+ cords of wood

18x21 for 1100.00    it has virtical roof.  Horizontal roofs for less than 800.00 installed. Dont think you can have one built for less.

Carport prices vary in New England they are pricy because nobody makes them around here so you find a lot if China carports, I love the stick that says "for seasonal use" meaning summer
