Hello everyone!
I want to build a carport on our garden plot to store wood and provide weather protection for a wheelbarrow and similar items. It doesn’t need to have a particularly precise or strong foundation since no car will be parked on it. Because this is a leased plot, I’m not allowed to dig too deeply or lay gravel or anything similar. I will roughly level and compact the ground, then place the base plates directly on the grass/soil.
Since the ground won’t be completely even, I’m wondering how to align the ground anchors. These have to be screwed into the ground like large screws, but it seems unlikely you can keep them perfectly vertical over the full 90 cm (35 inches).
So my question is: what is the best way to align these so that the posts that go into them will have the correct spacing at the top, where the roof will be?
I would appreciate any tips you might have!

Is it possible to attach the hinges at either position A or B, or does it have to be position B?Both options are possible; there should also be some hinges on the inside.

Distance to the point where purlins and posts meet.I would go with at least 40cm (16 inches), considering wind and weather on top,
it should last 50 years.
And don’t use small screws for fastening, something like 6x120 (0.24x4.7 inches), and at around 5pm on the right side A.

And don't use small screws for fastening, something like 6x120 and on the right A from about 5 p.m.Isn't the beam only 90x90? In that case, gluing and using several small screws will probably help more.Similar topics
