Weather

A lot of us with low pitched car port or steel pole buildings suffered property damage in Texas last year ya'll. Mine only had a couple of inches of snow on it when it rained and turned to ice. It was toe bolted to the house and garage on two sides and held up by 5 3x steel uprights on the other two. The 6 inch purlins were beginning to buckle in the middle so I jammed a couple steel fence posts under there with bottle and scissor jacks, then cut holes in the sheets to drain what became a swimming pool up there. It didn't come all the way down but others weren't so lucky.
All to say, keep an eye on those structures down here! They apparently ain't built for snow loads.
