Hey, if I used bigger pipes and painted them red I could have rockets! Cool beans.

Maybe a magnetic base would work. They have some that hold 200LBS. I would think there is a way to bolt up something to get it above the door.

OK, that's a slick idea. I hadn't thought of magnets.

REI has the Carport on sale for a pretty good price, if someone was thinking about it.

FYI, Sierra Trading Post sells the Medium-Size version for $120. Might be easier to work with being smaller but with less coverage.

Actually, the smaller one (medium) may be too small for the SMB since it would potentially have too steep of an angle when attached to the roof. This is just conjecture though after trying out the large, deluxe version.

On a side note, Sierra Trading Post is probably my favorite place to shop for outdoor gear/clothing.

I guarantee that Sierra Trading Post has a big picture of me at their home office with "Our Best Customer" written underneath it.
